Barcode Scanner is a fast, free barcode reader for iPhone. Simple and easy to use: open the app, point your camera at a product barcode and it reads instantly, with no buttons to press and no photos to take. After a scan, you can look the product up and compare prices with one tap. Scan barcodes one after another, share your whole scan list at once, and read QR codes too.
■ Scan barcodes in seconds
The camera starts as soon as you open the app. Aim it at a barcode and it is detected automatically, so you can check a product the moment you pick it up. There is nothing to set up and nothing to type.
■ Look up products and compare prices
After scanning a product barcode, search buttons appear for Google, Amazon and other shopping sites. Tap a button to search for the scanned product on that site and compare the prices you find. Check how much an item costs online while you are still standing in the store, without typing the product name by hand.
■ Scan many barcodes in a row
Every scanned barcode is saved to your history automatically, so you can move straight on to the next item and keep scanning. Checking a large number of products goes quickly: scan one, then simply point the camera at the next.
■ Share your scan list in one tap
Your scan history can be shared as a text list all at once. Scan a stack of items, then send the whole list by mail or chat. This is handy for keeping records of products, sharing a list of items with someone, or saving codes to look at later.
■ Scan codes from images
The app also reads barcodes and QR codes from images in your photo library: screenshots, downloaded images and photos sent by email or chat. Select the image and the code is read right away, with no second device needed.
■ Scan history always at hand
Every scan is saved automatically. Reopen results anytime, copy them, or share the whole list at once. Your history is stored locally on your device.
■ Light for dark places
Turn on the light button to read barcodes in dark places: warehouse shelves, storage boxes, or dim corners of a shop.
■ QR codes supported too
The app reads QR codes as well. Open links in Safari or Chrome, copy the content, share it, or search for product information. One app covers both barcodes and QR codes.

Tried to scan two items by barcode. Came up with the same exact item… something strange that didn’t even make sense. Clicked on “shopping” in google to see if that would get me either item. Again, both items came up with random items, everything from oat milk to a hedge trimmer. Don’t bother.
Developer Response
Sorry for this issue. We think you scanned the same barcode? Anyway, we will investigate whether the bug is happened as you said. Thank you.
Doesn't work in Colorado?? Or at all?

Worthless. The app provides an option to look up the scanned code via Google, or Amazon. I tried galoogle because I scanned an apple, then a lemon. It said "no information can be found" and it listed California, where I suspect the produce may have been either grown or shipped from....
Developer Response
Thank you very much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the scan results did not meet your expectations.Our app uses publicly available product databases and search engines such as Google and Amazon to look up information based on barcodes. Unfortunately, many fresh produce items like apples or lemons often use generic or distributor-specific codes that may not return detailed results online.We understand how this can be frustrating and sincerely appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’re always working to improve the accuracy and usefulness of our app, and your input helps us identify areas that need attention.If you have any further suggestions or specific use cases you'd like to see supported, we’d love to hear from you.Thank you again for trying our app.
• Wi-Fi QR codes are now supported. After scanning one, tap "Connect to Wi-Fi" on the detail screen to join the network without typing the network name or password.
• Passkey QR codes are now supported. Scan the QR code shown on a website's sign-in page and continue to sign in with, or save, a passkey, just like with the iPhone Camera app.
• Unneeded temporary files are now cleared automatically on a regular basis so they don't take up storage. Your scan history is not affected.
• Fixed the app name in some languages.
