Let’s face it, most of us probably don’t need a barcode reader everyday and if we do, we want something more robust and accurate than an iPhone camera. However, for the rest of us who have the occasional need to scan a bunch of barcodes whether it be for accuracy or a repetitive task, something like this gets the job done.
It was, by far, more than worth the $3 that I paid to avoid having to hand-type everything. I had to list 50 serial numbers, all on tiny-print barcode labels. Would’ve taken an hour plus accuracy issues. This app let me scan all of them in about 5 minutes.
The app has a few quirks but to be honest I don’t remember them. I started a new file, scanned the barcodes and emailed myself the csv file and was done. There was a lot of extra junk in the cvs that I didn’t care about but just deleted those columns from the spreadsheet. Simple as that.
