Almost a fan, but not quite. It's easy to set up and works well. But UX needs a lot of work (no scan beep by default? seriously?). And there's no way to turn of the "scan session" thing, which I don't need and which makes the app too freaking complicated. Switched to a similar app from XConnected. Which has its own issues, but is still more usable.

Hello, you can make the app automatically open in scan mode by enabling the "Open the app in scan mode" option, as explained here: https://barcodetopc.com/barcode-acquisition/speed-up-barcode-to-pc-app-launch-time/ The beep should be enabled by default, make sure the media volume is turned on 🙂

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.

Hi Craig, to improve the scan speed you can enable the "Limit barcode formats" option from the app settings, and select only the barcode format that you use. This way the app will scan faster.

This app has a lot of potencial, and for sure will be 5 stars once some improvements are made. I found some problems: 1) I have a good smartphone, and focus is slow. Because the slow focus, scan takes a relatively long time. I would expect this behavior on low end smartphone, but not in a upper end model. Maybe it needs some speed optimization in the algorithm? 2) Many softwares that use the camera have some kind of image stabilization, but this program do not have. To read a small barcode with a MAC address, the shaking is annoying. Yes... Also my fault that cannot hold the cellphone stable! We need image stabilization (or more speed) because combined with slow focus time, not very fast result at all. 3) I had connections issues with server and app. They are paired, but during scan I have "connection problems" message with no aparent reason. Because the app and server are paired, firewall is just ok. Don't get me wrong: A very nice software, well designed. Just need more speed in the processing. Example: In the continuous modem a dialog pops up, and disapear by itself. We don't need a popup at all in this case, only this will screase continuous mode speed...

Hi Celso, most of those issues have been fixed in the new version. To improve the scanning reliability go in the Settings page of the app and select "Limit barcode formats" and keep enabled only the barcode formats that you use. Now the camera stays always open when using the continuous mode thus the focus won't change.
