## Description
Barcodenote is a simple app for reading barcodes and QR codes to a notepad, and taking notes. For example, if you are taking an office or small store inventory, need to read barcodes to a list, or so, this app will be useful to you. It also can read QR codes and open the links what they contain. The sharing of notes is also a feature. Notes are saved automatically, so you don't need to pay attention for saving them, and they are automatically opened if you start the app. The app is completely ad-free, and free for home or business use. Does not collects or transmits data about user, or the phone.
The app is using the phone's camera to read QR codes (based on ZXing library, thanks for the developers). For this, the app nedds permission for the camera. A storage permission is also needed to store the data, and Internet permission for opening web pages from the notes (otherwise, the app does not need Internet).
"In-app-purchases" are meaning that you can donate for me if you like my work - the app will not request money for anyhting.
v20 release introduces resizable user interface as per Android 16 demands.
