Description
-------------- What this app will do for me ? -------------- This app is a free 1D and 2D (QRCode) barcode scanner. It will scan barcodes (read "other info" for list of formats supported) and send scanned codes by email, or save them for later use, or paste/copy codes into other apps, or search on the web. It will not check for prices.
Great for small stores, library, and also at home !
-------------- How does this app works ? -------------- To start the scan, tap on the "TAP TO START SCAN" button (or shake te device), and the camera will start, ready to scan a code. Now make the camera look at a barcode. Please make sure your camera is correctly aligned with the barcode to scan (vertical or horizontal, not oblique). Please make sure that the code is well ligthed and on focus (move the device to get well the code). When the barcode is detected, it will be surrounded by a green square and it will be decoded and written in the "CODES SCANNED" list.
If you have problems to get the code scanned, when the camera is on, tap the info button to get help on how get a successful scan.
With your codes scanned, you can save them for later use, or share them, of search for them on the web, or paste into other apps (last scanned code is copied into the pasteboard). You can also save the codes to a text file or share with Dropbox or Google Drive. Tap on "DO SOMETHING WITH SCANNED BARCODES" to select what you want to do with the scanned codes.

ONLY FOR USERS THAT DID DISABLE ADS TAPPING ON "REMOVE BANNERS" BUTTON (in Settings page):
Now you can use this app to scan barcodes with your web apps. If you have a web app that you need to input barcodes, you can start the app, scan barcode, and return barcode content, with just one http url !
Just use an url like this: bar-code://scan?callback=[callback url] (where "callback" is the url return url to your web app)
Barcode content will be added at the end: ?barcode=[barcode content][&other parameters]
So, for example, using this url: bar-code://scan?callback=http://www.mysite.com
the callback url after barcode scan will be http://www.mysite.com?barcode=1234567890
if you need extra parameters, just add them to the callback url bar-code://scan?callback=http://www.mysite.com&user=roberto
then the callback url after barcode scan will be http://www.mysite.com?barcode=1234567890&user=roberto
You can test the app is working with this url: http://www.pw2.it/iapps/test-bar-code.php

I love this scanner but it gives a flash in n out that doesnt let me hit the scan button. N sometime the scans get deleted if there was a way to store the barcodes automatically until you manually delete it. That would be awesome!!!

I made a URL QR code,. This app scans it all right but it does not allow me to open the URL in a browser. The only way to do so is to copy the scanned code and paste it in a browser.
