Scan - QR Code and Barcode Reader is an app that reads QR codes and barcodes when you place your device's camera near to them. The designers have tried to make it as easy to use and as convenient as possible.

Scan QR codes and barcodes with your smart device

For many people who want to read barcodes and QR codes on their smart device, Scan - QR Code and Barcode Reader is the only app they will need. All sorts of information can be held within these codes and standard ones, such as URLs, email addresses and contact details, are all automatically detected by the app. You can obtain pricing details from barcodes you scan, too. Users must allow their device's camera to be controlled by the app and it is capable of using both the front and rear-facing cameras on most type of tablet or smartphone.

Worth more than a scan?

Although QR codes are relatively commonplace for obtaining downloadable content, there is little reason to scan a barcode unless you work in logistics or retail. It performs well on most smart devices but some users report reliability issues.
