Ratings and reviews

It amazes me how simple this app is just works as intended with no pain in setting up. Another major bonus is it has no ads whatsoever. As with anything, there are some items which can be further improved upon. Like the removal of prompt for continuous scanning, flash light turning off. But those are very minor. I would gladly pay for this app. I would donate in a heartbeat, hit me up if you have a platform for donation of sorts.

This app seems promising, and would overall be perfect for what I need it for. My only problem with it is the whole session thing. It it just extremely annoying, and it's an extra step I don't want to have to deal with. I honestly don't see the purpose of it even being included in the app. For that reason, I'll be looking for another solution, possibly just a simple USB barcode scanner.

Just tried this app to see if it would be worth purchasing for day to day commercial use. The trial only allows 300 scans a month, so wasn't able to assess the overall error rate for the project. More errors than a normal barcode scanner and takes longer as the camera can take a while to focus. Would be good for occasional use, not for a barcode scanner replacement.
