Fantastic OS X integration, "just works"!

I needed an app that would reliably read barcodes from random commercial products via my iPhone 5 and transmit the number to my Mac (running Mavericks). This app provided that extremely well, in a no-frills way. Additionally, it had no problem reading a variety of different sizes of barcodes in "difficult" situations: in low light, behind plastic, upside-down, etc. For those of you wondering: there is a confirmation beep (on the phone) when the scan is successful, and then the number is put into the copy/paste buffer (on the computer). At that point you can paste it immediately into any program. The program on the Mac just kind of sits in the background, but does show the last scanned number when you switch over to it. I suppose I don't mind the ads, because I often pause between scans anyway. I scanned over 50 different items in my first session, and haven't hit my limit for total scans. (It would be nice to know what that limit was, however!) Why it's not perfect: Documentation is a bit lacking; it seemed a little mysterious at first. Having a history/list of all scanned codes would be incredibly helpful, and make this worth the in-app upgrade price. Ditto for a multi-item scanning capability; would be nice not to have to paste after every single scan if that doesn't suit your use case. Any minor gripes aside, this is a one-trick-pony that knows its trick very well!
great barcode reading app

This is one of the coolest barcode reading apps I've found so far not only does it scan the barcode but it sends a copy of the upc number to your computer so you can have a record of what you scanned. ive only used it a few times but so far its a great app.
Died at upgrade

Worked well until I upgrade. Will no longer make connection to computer. Apparently they didn’t quite get their connection problems solved.

Couldn't be more pleased flawless app saved me 50-100 dollars and much more convenient
Does not work across subnets

Two problems that need to be solved urgently. First, no audio-visual feedback when scanning, and secondly, it only works when both the iPhone and computer are connected to the same subnet. It should allow for connection by entering IP address as an option to overcome this limitation. This is usually a problem on business networks where the wireless network is on a separate subnet from the desktop (wired) computers. Same problem happens with their other app (epoccam). Seems like they didn't put much thought into these apps.
Needs better Mac integration

No issues installing or connecting to OS X app, but scanning one barcode at a time and then pasting into the desired application does not really save any time at all. Apparently the PC client at least allows scanning directly, but this is pretty useless for Mac users.
