Barcode Scanner Reviews

I have an issue with this current update, I love BarcodeScanner and have been using it for work; however with this current update the box scans the first barcode it detects and my computers have i social barcode all on top of the other, making it a pain to scan this individual barcodes. Please make a feature where you can pick this new updated scanner and the old one where you where able to aim at the barcode of preference

Ive used BarcodeScanner for almost 3 years without any issues. I recently had to update my phone to an iPhone 13 Pro. Its near IMPOSSIBLE to scan any of the barcodes Ive been scanning forever. The scan screen is super wee now (since the last couple of updates) and it makes it difficult to scan a long barcode bc you have to hold the phone further away to get the whole barcode into the wee scanner. The light works but doesn’t assist with the issues Im having. So! Im 50/50 regarding my issues being the new iPhone 13 Pro or the fact that the screen for scanning has become so small. Ugh! I miss the good old days way.

BarcodeScanner scans barcodes quickly. However, the excel format it stores the numerical data 15 digits. After 15, then zeros are substituted for the remaining digits of the barcode. Instead of storing as general in the CSV file, the barcodes should be stored in the text format. This is a big deal, since there are a lot of numerical barcodes that exceed 15 digits.

In addition, the barcodes cannot be stored if you wish to scan another set of barcodes for a different project. The only way to save your work is email and combine later.

Hope this helps.

BarcodeScanner is super good and scans most bar codes and QR codes. I do wish BarcodeScanner did read serial numbers/model numbers and auto filled in the information.

I am probably going to upgrade to the pay version to see if they have more features on it but the free version has a small pool for exporting the information. 35 scans before you have to export.

Overall BarcodeScanner makes to super efficient and I hope the pay wall expands more for what I can do with it.

This is a good app, however many times (but not always) when I clear the data from a list, all the installed data (mfg. P/N and description disappear along with the quantity. I only need the Qty. to go away, and now I need to re enter the missing data all each time I do a scan (2x/ week)
This is annoying at best, and definitely a waste of time. It did not happen in the original version.

I hope you can fix this.
Thanks.

I used BarcodeScanner to inventory my personal library. It was super helpful for scanning all of my books. I love that I was allowed to export the list in multiple different ways to multiple different platforms.
My only issue with it was that it had a hard time pulling all of the information for every book. Sometimes it would supply all of the information, even including a description, sometimes it would only fill in the title. It also only recognizes ISBN13 barcodes, so it wasn’t able to scan my older books.

Ok for a 100% free app it does Exactly what I want and need it to! We are a small business and front end lady just up and quit, noticing she never (ever) did inventory start to end like asked he last 2 months here, BarcodeScanner saved my rear end! I did the entire shop start to end in just a few days between customers, super simple to use! reads well, plenty of space to type, no adds and it’s free! Also, if I scanned something already it will pull up previous entry that matches. Love it

Sometimes has difficulty scanning but once you find the distance and get your technique down, you can move through the barcodes quite quickly. Saves lots of time of not having to type out individual barcodes.

I love this application and how I can change the title to what I want to suite my work needs. I love it so much I was trying to get my company to buy it for our other coworkers but due to it not being USA based they said we couldn’t, can you please get a USA based office and change your status to made in America hehe.

I searched for an app that just generates a list of barcodes but when I stumbled upon Orca Scan I was blown away by the capabilities at your fingertips. I was able to move through several computer labs and scan assets like I would with a traditional Bluetooth barcode scanner. I’m really impressed by what this development team has created.

First off, I hardly write reviews. But BarcodeScanner is worth it. Second, I work with computers that need to be inventoried and serials scanned. I’ve been looking for years for a good barcode/inventory/xml export app that is truly customizable. Something that’s easy and streamlined. Finally found it. I would without a doubt pay for BarcodeScanner if I have to.

I am a freelance merchandiser; BarcodeScanner has been a godsend!! I can now assemble data quickly and I know if I knew how to do stuff with Excel, I could get even more out of it.

I paid the fee to be able to use the browser version so i can set up sheets in my iPad onsite, have them reference my master list, and keep tallies of my assigned displays in each store.

The paid version and app allow my daughter to sign in as a user on my account and help me scan with her phone too. It’s amazing. Thank you.

Also thank you for the very prompt bug fix on the extra-zero UPC issue from 3.0!! I was in a right panic. 😂🤣

We tried, wasp, zebra, all others.... Nothing worked exactly like we needed, then poof we find Orca Scan. Right from the install, it did everything we needed without any configuration. We have since purchased and added custom processes, but believe me when I say, look no further for pure mobile scanning joy, straight with the basic install!!

BarcodeScanner is a great timesaver for collecting accurate data and lat long locations from bar codes. Highly customizable prebuilt templates provided. Great export features to excel and CVG formats. Easy to forward reports via text and e-mail. Cambridge App Lab thought of everything. Hard to thing of his it could be improved. We’ll done!

Just get it. Play around with it, and save yourselves tens of thousands on external inventory teams etc. So many uses I can’t even begin to list them. I’m just blown away by the software. Keep it up.

This is amazing. These people are onto something special. It’s always accurate, their free version is absolutely more than fair, and the integrations? Game changer

This is absolutely the best app to use when it comes to inventory and customizing to fit our needs!!!! We were looking for something where we didn’t have to create an app or have any major programming things to do (which I don’t have any knowledge of haha). This is super customizable and SUPER easy to use. Plus Thomas at OrcaScan is very helpful and really made this experience much easier to buy and use. Highly recommended!!!

We picked this up for a particular counting job at our warehouse as it allowed for a very rapid setup and implementation without any custom programming work.

We contacted the developers about a few items and they are very responsive and open to suggestions. It is clear their roadmap is well in place in ways to improve and expand the application and integration with their online component.

It fully meet our needs, and will only get better as they continue to tweak and adjust things. I am also confident that we will leverage this for other applications now that it is in our toolset.

Definitely worth your time to check out, you will probably end up using it. :)

I’ve spent countless hours searching for a simple data collection application and BarcodeScanner fits the bill. So well thought out and easy to use. It’s so hard to find something simple. Everything today seems to be geared toward Windows Mobile connecting directly to a database. We already have an inventory application for a large warehouse and only need something to collect an internal SKU, Quantity and date stamp in batch mode. THANK YOU.

Absolutely amazing. It’s a great tool for keeping tabs on food. Especially when you’re stocking food in the basement. I mean who really wants to walk down there every time you need to go shopping. BarcodeScanner tells you what you have and how much you have! It picks up even more than food. Hygiene products, toiletries, DOG FOOD, cleaning supplies! I love BarcodeScanner!

Ps. If you over stock food BarcodeScanner allows you to actually print out your data log. So at the end of every month you can update your prep pantry.

Really helps with scan jobs for my job and very easy to use. One thing I would like is if there was an option to take a picture of the barcode manually instead of it grabbing the first barcode the camera goes over.
