Almost every question and negative review comment is addressed by one of the following. Please save everyone time by reading these first:

Nobody is stealing your information. The app allows you to share contacts, apps, and bookmarks in a QR Code. This is why contacts permissions are needed. See "Visit Developer Website" below ( https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions ).

If your device is not scanning, first try workarounds for device bugs in Settings. Enable all of them, and then try disabling one at a time to determine which is necessary. If this does not help, try clearing the device cache and settings from Android settings.

This app has never had advertisements, and never will. If you are seeing ads, it's from 3rd party malware, that among other things, is also review-bombing this app with claims of adware. This is entirely false.

Ratings and reviews

When it works it's great! Works fine on my phone, with lighted camera. (Does nothing on unlighted Galaxy Tab 3 in bright conditions. Don't have anymore.) Found a few apps that don't require this specific barcode scanner. Still use a lot, especially for QR codes for Bluetooth device apps on my Android 10 devices. Love that it saves the info from scanned codes: can go back in list and re-enter QR's URLs, book ISBNs, and barcodes. Use weekly for years, no problems!

This app is what I consider the original, tried, and true barcode scanner. I remember using it on my LG Optimus back on Android 2, and it was beautiful. On every Android phone I've owned, this was one of the essential apps to get. Today, it works just as it used to, but with the modernization that all phones and Android updates provide. Thanks for keeping it up to date all these years.

This was exactly what I was looking for and it worked perfect. I was able to quickly scan product bar codes and save them in "history". When I was finished scanning, I was able to share the history to email as a csv file attachment. The csv file contained the code value, the code type (UPC_A), and the date and time of the scan. The app is super easy to use. Please note that there are many old comments. The app can rotate, has bar code illumination and more. There were NO ADS.
