Scan - QR Code and Barcode Reader Utilities App Review (iOS, $1.99)

Description

ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME

To celebrate our latest update, Scan is on sale for a limited time for $1.99 down from $4.99! (over 50% off!)

ABOUT SCAN

Scan is the fastest and most user-friendly QR reader and barcode scanner available. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod came with a built-in scanner, this would be it. Here is what our reviewers are saying:

“Quick and very reliable. I’d give it six stars if it were possible.”
“No ads, beautiful design, and even caught blurry QR codes I didn’t expect it to scan”
“I’ve saved over $80 by scanning products in the store and finding them cheaper online”

HOW THE APP WORKS

To scan a QR code or barcode simply open the app, point the camera at the code, and you’re done! There is no need to take a photo or press a button. Scan will automatically recognize any code your camera is pointing at.

When scanning a QR code, if the code contains a website URL, you will automatically be taken to the site. If the code just contains text, you'll immediately see it. For other formats such as phone numbers, email addresses, or contact info, you will be prompted to take the appropriate action.

PRODUCT BARCODES

Scan recognizes all of the popular barcode types (UPC, EAN, and ISBN) and shows you pricing, reviews, and more about any products you scan. Barcode scanning requires a newer iPhone or iPad in order to work reliably. Cameras on older devices do not provide the resolution or focus required for barcode scanning.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• View a history list and map of all of your past scans
• Sync your scan history across the web and all of your devices
• Toggle your front or rear camera for scanning
• Set a default browser to open websites in
• Scan pictures of QR codes and barcodes from your camera roll
• A switch to turn on your device’s light (if it has one) for scanning in low-light circumstances

DEDICATED TO PERFECTION

Our goal is to make our app the best scanning app in the store. We can’t do this without you. We are dedicated to your satisfaction and need to hear feedback from you. If you have an issue with Scan, please do not write a review of the app saying "it didn't work." This does not help us make things better for you. Instead, please contact us at su[email protected] or on Twitter @scan and we'll do our best to help.

REQUIREMENTS

In order to use Scan, your device must have a built-in camera. When scanning codes that redirect to online content, such as websites, you will need Internet connectivity.

MAKE YOUR OWN QR CODES ON SCAN.ME

Want to make your own QR codes for others to scan? Visit our site at http://scan.me to create and manage your own QR codes for free.

Update: We recently released a new Wi-Fi QR code type on our site. These new Wi-Fi QR codes allow visitors to your home or business scan a QR code to get easy access to your wireless network.

  by Christopher Heninger

  Fastest QR scanner I've used to date. App is lightweight and loads quickly. Well done.

• Amazing, would have payed for it.

  by zebulonmorgan

  Almost every single QR app I have ever used has been annoying, they always seem to be methods of getting users into another platform (eBay, ect.). Scan is great because it does just that, scans QR codes, and nothing else (like ask you to purchase goods or download another app). While I did get Scan before it became $1.99, it is such a great app that I would have bought it anyways.

• Simple and easy

  by Ejung12

  I like how quick it reads codes + donation function very cool.

• Yep, it’s a great scan app

  by sf954

  Found this on Techcrunch and like the guy, but more than that I like the app. Much easier and faster than the two other apps I’ve purchased. I hope to see more big things from Scan. Nice!

• A++

  by Lindsay Arave

  I enjoy this app. It is easy to use and has many features.

• Above the rest

  by Hkbjqt

  There's lots of apps out there that scan barcodes and I've downloaded quite a few.... But this one is different. It goes beyond just being app and let's you create ones that surprise you on how useful they actually can be. I use them on my website promoting my own art and projects.

• Shark Tank Star

  by Ethan Sukonik

  Go see the article on TechCrunch, not Amazed, download their App, u will be!

• Great App

  by JYLEE1021

  A very cool app. Nice interface. Quick to scan even in low light conditions. QR codes are everywhere and this app provides a great, quick and easy way to find out more information about a product or service. Haven't created any QR codes of my own yet, but I can see the potential and possibilities.

• GREAT

  I just saw this app being shared in the TV program Shark Tank and I think this app is the most efficient application around. Just like in Shark Tank this is very helpful but small. There should be more announcements to populate the application.

  This app allows you to scan every single item which can be helpful while you're in a store and want to see if there is a cheaper price elsewhere. Also goes to the website for any of those barcodes that scan to a company.
