User Reviews

Most reviews praise the app for fast, versatile PDF417 scanning and ease of use across various formats and inputs. However, frequent complaints center on intrusive ads blocking results and pushing other apps, privacy concerns around data handling, loss of raw data visibility, and reliability on older devices or after updates. Overall, it’s valued for speed and flexibility by many, but marred by ads and feature regressions for others.

Pros

Fast and accurate scanning across a wide range of barcode formats, especially PDF417
Works well in different lighting conditions and on various devices
Versatile input options (scans from photos, wallet passes, and even external display sources)
Free and simple to use

Cons

Intrusive ads and upsells that block results or force you to download another app to view data
Privacy concerns about handling and transmitting personal data from scanned barcodes
Loss of raw PDF417 data or full detail after updates (raw text visibility downgraded or removed)
Inconsistent performance or compatibility issues on older devices (e.g., iPhone 6/4S) and after updates
Some reports of partial data display or scanning not working unless you navigate via ads or additional apps

App doesn't work at all. Waste of time. Uninstall and move on

Noticeable signs of improper personal data handling while using the app. Recommended to avoid using this app to decode any data barcodes containing personal information.

Doesn’t actually scan barcodes. Instead it just presents part of the information, maybe 20 characters, and then an ad to download a different app by the same develop. Useless do not download.
