## Description

Digimarc Discover makes scanning barcodes fast and easy. It lets you scan Digimarc Barcodes, most 1D barcodes, and QR codes to access online content, showcasing the Digimarc Barcode and the Digimarc Mobile SDK.

Robust scanning supports common retail barcodes such as UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-9, EAN-13, Code 39, Code 128, DataBar, ITF, QR codes, and PDF417. The Digimarc Mobile SDK powers apps to deliver efficient, reliable, and affordable mobile barcode scanning for packaging, connected print, and audio.

## Review summary

Reviews show a pattern of reliability problems. The app often fails to open or scan, with focus issues and crashes reported on multiple devices. Many users complain it won’t recognize magazine images or stops working after installation. Compatibility seems uneven across magazines (Cooking Light, Real Simple, Golf) and devices (iPhone 6/6s/7). A minority report occasional success (first try with a golfing video, fast capture when it works, and saving recipes in one place). Overall, consistency is the core issue.

### Pros

- Can scan from anywhere on the page, not just QR codes.
- When it works, it scans quickly and with quick focus.
- Some content (e.g., golfing video) works right away and saves recipes in one place.

### Cons

- App often won't load or crashes on startup.
- Scanner frequently cannot focus or recognize pictures; errors like 'cannot be found' are common.
- Inconsistent compatibility with magazines/content (Cooking Light, Real Simple, Golf) and devices.
- Requires repeated attempts or adjustments to get it to scan; reliability is low.
- Older iPhone models show device compatibility issues (e.g., iPhone 6/6s/7).
