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 [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.

This app accurately scans from several media. Paper, device screen, product packages! It’s super quick and reliable.

Excellent


This app cost me $75 in fines
ATLunhappy-user

I used the app to register my car for parking. The QR code brought up what looked like a standard webpage where I registered my car. Only, the webpage was brought up in something internal to the app, not the default browser for the app (Safari), so the registration did not go through even though it appeared to be fine on the browser page that I saw. Since the webpage wasn’t in Safari, I had no record of the transaction or even that I visited that parking registration site. My car was booted and I had to pay $75. When I examined the scan history to show that I had tried to register the car at the proper time, the time stamp on the scan was off by 4hours from the local time. It was apparently given in GMT time, so having the wrong time stamp did not convince anyone that I tried to register my car properly at the correct time.


Awesome app

QR Code scanning problems solved
Bill Blevins

Our business uses QR Codes extensively. We have thousands of customers who read our codes. 100% of the time, when a customer says our codes don't work, we get them to test first with this app and it always works and makes a happy customer. We now include links to this app in all of our products we ship.


Simple

It scans, but
BAR112

Tried it on a product—just opens up Google search for it. Not the type of barcode scanner I was looking for.
