Usage
1. Click on the new scan button. Barcode Scanner mode will activate
2. Point your camera at the barcode so that it is visible in the app viewfinder
3. Barcode Scanner will recognize and scan the code as soon as the camera resolution allows. If necessary, adjust the view until the scan completes.
4. QR Code Scanner is very fast - some users report that as soon as part of the bar code is visible in the viewfinder, it gets scanned, which can result in an incomplete code being scanned. In such cases, we recommend starting with your phone sufficiently far from the code and then move closer if necessary.
5. Barcode Scanner / Price Finder will automatically detect the type of barcode / QR Code and display the information accordingly. Types include product barcodes, ISBNs, URLs, and many more.
6. If a product barcode is detected, the app will display detailed shopping information with links to online stores.

Additional details
QR Codes and barcodes are everywhere - originally invented as machine-readable optical labels that can contain information about the item they are attached to, they are now widely used to store all kinds of data, including coupon codes and product identification, to website addresses, vCard contact info, and Wi-Fi access points. You can find them on billboards, information signs, in airports, museums, malls, and many other places.

The Barcode Scanner Android App allows you to scan any codes - from a wide range of distances and angles. You can quickly look up the information online - whether it is a product UPC label, book ISBN, or a QR Code with a website URL. All scans are automatically saved so that you can check them later. You can even create your own QR Codes - and send them to your computer to print.

Ratings and reviews

This used to be a great app with lots of functionality, all of which has been stripped out and made into a paid subscription. It can't even scan longer barcodes anymore because it no longer supports turning your phone in portrait mode. I'd be willing to pay for a stand-alone app that provided the same functionality that the free app used to have, but I can't imagine anyone paying a monthly subscription for such basic technological functionality

Used to work fairly well when red scan bar moved up and down. Now it seems it has a much harder time scanning since red bar is stationary... especially reading printed USPS labels that you run off on your printer to send back return packages.(Which is why I downloaded the app in the first place. Does well with UPS and FedEx labels. Had to download another APP that does a BETTER job.

I installed this app because I want to find deals on items to resell. I scanned a bunch of items that are all over the internet, but this app couldn't bring up any prices. When I clicked on the Amazon and Google buttons nothing happened. The app is trash. I started under a free trial, but didn't have time to try it before I got charged for a year. So I went on Google Play under subscriptions and demanded a refund and it was approved. Don't waste your time with this.
