Fast camera scanner with tons of barcode formats supported... But... scan image from gallery does not work. Perms granted but after selecting small PNG barcode image it just spins with "Please wait". Clearing app cache and reinstalling doesn't help. Buggy, needs work. Also add image icon to main scanner screen to select this mode. Barcodes very often come from other apps via screenshot. Important feature. Also no way to turn off the annoying popup tips when opening the app.

This is an excellent app with a lot of configurations for more advanced uses. I have installed (and the uninstalled) many, many barcode apps and this is probably the best. The ability to parse a GS1 barcode is a great feature. The only option I wish was in the app would be the ability for it to show hidden characters such as start/stop characters, group separators, etc.

GET THIS NOW!! I've tried loads of bar and qr code scanners and this one is far and away the best. In a class of it's own. It picks up and captures codes so frikkin fast... Sometimes with only half the length of the barcode bars in frame. It can read about every type of code; micro qrs, postal for many countries & much more. Theres more settings allowing user optimal scanning flexibility
