Ratings and reviews

NO ads. Performs exactly as described. Recommended. 2022: I wouldn't have bothered posting this at all if the software hadn't asked me for a rating today. At some point the application stopped allowing the copying of URLs. The only way to visit a scanned URL is through the scanner. There is no copy option as there is for other data. I now only visit URLs that are short enough to memorize and type into a browser address bar manually. Removed two stars due to this inconvenience.

Update: No longer scans barcodes on either of my Samsung phones. I loved this app but it appears they removed it's ability to read regular barcodes. Just tested Kaspersky and it does both. Thanks for the good times Trend, but it's time to part ways. Old review:Use it to scan serial number bar codes for IT equipment we have to activate so it's accurate and a simple copy paste. Eliminates human error typos.

Easy to use and have all essential functions. Particularly it can scan downloaded image and make itself available on the Share To list, which is a big plus to me. The feature that allows to open the safe website without another click is also my favorite. All software should be like this. Thumbs up x 1000! Did I mention it is free and no ads?
