Great App overall. I like how you can generate a barcode on the fly and be able to scan it without having to make the barcode go full screen. I also like how you can swipe barcodes like photos. But can there be an update where barcodes can always be of a Type of our choosing instead of Auto? Also, can there be an update where we can customize the sort order?

Good overall, except that it crashes when showing a full screen barcode if "screen brightness" is checked.
★★★★★Nicole Crocker· Apr 13, 2020
I've made barcodes and printed them out and was able to purchase things at a retail store using the barcode I printed out from this app. Just download the store app and scan it make sure it's in stock in store before using it.

Great for customizing text and creating custom barcodes. Need help to export in a small size to print 30 barcode per page. Only exports large size barcode that other apps (print or photo apps) cannot properly resize.
★☆☆☆☆Ken Litster· Aug 24, 2024
Can't export barcodes and can't save whole barcodes. Inly a small portion of the barcode can be saved, which is useless.
★☆☆☆☆Jonathan Wilson· Dec 12, 2024
Most recent update breaks the layout on Pixel 9. The search bar covers the top part of the app, the keyboard covers the bottom, and the on-screen barcode takes up half the screen.
★★☆☆☆Nisa Gitty· Aug 15, 2022
It created the code beautifully...then I couldn't export it as an image to affix to my labels... only HTML available no PNG or JPEG. That's what I need it for. Fix it please and I'll gladly reinstall.
