Review summary

Users appreciate that barcoo offers detailed product information and supports various barcode types. However, multiple reviews highlight significant drawbacks like a limited product database, unreliable barcode scanning, and intrusive ads and notifications. The app has shifted focus away from core scanning functionality toward additional features some users find unnecessary. Overall, while the app has useful aspects, issues with scanning accuracy, database limitations, and advertising dampen the user experience.

Pros

Provides detailed and interesting information about products, including nutrition facts and health assessments.
Supports scanning of all kinds of QR and barcodes.
Offers useful additional info like pricing and product comparisons.
User-friendly and useful app overall.

Cons

Database is too small, resulting in limited or no information for many products.
App frequently fails to recognize or properly scan barcodes and QR codes compared to other apps.
Displays unwanted ads and push notifications, including in the notification area, which annoy users.
Recent updates focus less on barcode scanning core functionality and add unnecessary features like embedded browsers and lifestyle articles.
Some usability issues, such as inability to open links in external browsers and a need for UI improvements.

2019-09-17	A *****	A good idea to provide detailed information on products to help customers find their way in the jungle. Unfortunately the database is yet too small, so not much information is available. I hardly got a hit scanning my purchases and if so information was of very limited use. I'm afraid using another similar app since years which is already well established to 'check' the 'code' on products cannot be beaten so easily. I had to deinstall barcoo again.

Es gibt zwar nach wie vor viel gutes Drumherum, aber bei der eigentlichen Kernfunktionalität versagte barcoo in letzter Zeit bei mir zu oft. Immer wieder QR Codes, die nicht geöffnet werden konnten oder Fehler warfen, während sie mit Konkurrenz-Apps einwandfrei funktionierten.
