Barcode Scanner Android App is great! It allows you to scan most product bar codes in 1D (UPC, EAN, etc.) and 2D formats (QR Code) to search Google for product results. You can even search for words in a book when using this app (results are populated if the book is available on http://books.google.com).
The cool thing about scanning QR Codes is the wealth of information and many applicable uses in the tiny cryptic messages. QR Codes can store calendar events, contact information, email addresses, Geo location, phone numbers, SMS text messages, plain text, and URLs. AndroidTapp.com has recently added QR Codes to every Android App Review, so you can quickly download the app from the Android Market.

I use Shop Savvy barcode scanner but I will download this one and see which I prefer. Look for a review to be posted in the near future.
I have problems using this tool Shop Savvy, tell me how did you use? PD: very good contribution, thanks.
These kinds of 2 dimensional bar codes are popping up everywhere. Just last week I used this app to scan a barcode on a promotional poster at them movie theater and it gave me a URL to a special trailer for tim burton’s 9
I’m testing this but I think the only thing I’d change it the fact that it starts RIGHT away. I scanned a box of Kleenex Lotion Tissues and had mixed results. I did scan the QR_Code as to whether to download or not. Nice reply.
Nice,
I works like a charm.
Cheers.
I tried ShopSavvy and Barcode Scanner, and I think I’m sticking with Barcode Scanner because I really only want to use this to scan the two-dimensional QR codes (like the ones that link to apps on the Market). I don’t care much about barcodes, its the QR codes that are most useful on this platform for me.
This works brilliantly.
Thanks very much.
Simon.
I tried this app, and really like it. It’s fast, simple, and works as advertised. It’s a keeper.
is there a trick to scanning barcodes on cans? I love this app and feel it is far superior to “the other leading brand” but can’t get my droid to scan a code off of anything curved such as cans and bottles.
very carefully, i have to be really still to get it to scan curved barcodes. but it will.
Love it, used it for my Christmas shopping and worked great…even had someone ask me about it after they heard the scan beep.
I like ShopSavy better. I guess to each his own!!
how can i download this app? pls reply!
hi. i can’t download it,somebody please send meeeeeeeee.
my e-mail: scktheriddler@gmail.com
I was using Barde scanning for a while, now I’ve switch to lynkee the user interface is better, and the price comparator is fine too
Is there a way to turn it off once it has started?
Other than using another app to make it quit?
I usually press the Home button for it to stop, does that help?
hello. how I download this application
Advanced App Killer Free – can’t use Android without it.
How do you download this barcode scanner?
I am new to android phones and am having trouble finding where to download it from
Try going into your Google search feature. Then type in whatever app you want. The info will come up and you should find the download button in the info.
Interesting app. Right now it’s not too necessary but i’m sure it’ll be in near future.
I just wonder, why does this app need access to my personal data and to be able to alter my wi-fi settings? I can understand net access (though it should just pass the url to the browser instead), I can understand preventing sleep mode, but get the hands off my other data!
Definately a no go.
access to personal info – yeah, that was a deal breaker for me, too.
@rmurphy: Have you tried the application? It access personal data so that you can share it with others. For example, the app allows you to share bookmarks, contacts, applications, and your clipboard. For contacts it will actually let you create a barcode for any contact in your phone. I’m happy with the feature. It’s something innovative that you don’t find often with barcode scanning apps.
That might be alright but why does need write to my contact data. Also, why does it to know where I have been and what I have bookmarked.
As for as sharing what you have found. That is done in the browser. After the software has pulled the item. It still does not need access to my contact data.
You’re just a paranoid faggot. It’s been explained multiple times why it needs to access said data. If you’re scared of it, stay away from it. Honestly, this page doesn’t need your negative, stupid comments about how you’re NOT getting it and your STUPID reason why. People like you make me worry about the future of this world.
So you’re saying that cautious people are “paranoid faggots”, and people who doesn’t install anything will obviously destroy the future… and not people who happily click on any url or install any suspicious software that promises to grant world peace… seriously, have you replaced the thinking part of your brain to an insult module, or what?
I would like to know the answer as well, on the other hand the app doesn’t look bad at all.
Yeah the insults were a bit over the top. I don’t like apps that want too much data but usually give in if it seems really useful. “Replace thinking part of your brain with insult module.” Totally nerdy and funny. But not really faggy.
Nice,
I works like a charm.
Cheers.
This app rocks..if you use this site,you know this!
They all want to read private data.
What for?
Used to work well. With latest upgrade it has difficulty scanning…focuses and refocuses without scanning. Its hit and miss, mostly miss.
QR Codes rock. Has anyone had any experience using the Microsoft Tag equivalent?
I don’t really see Microsoft Tag’s taking off to become too popular. QR Codes are fantastic and work well!
People are making stickers here in Miami that are QR codes pointing back to their website. I never knew what this was until I had this app.

this is all great, but how do i download the #$&# thing. Trie the thing w/my phone and computer?????
If you’re browsing with your Android and find a QR image that can’t be clicked, you can use android app QR Droid to read it from the device itself
Its a great app , But is not working in my android what should i do , Is there a update ?
using motorolla mt710, barcode scanner does not work. i tried version 3.51, 3.52, 3.53, none of the can decode coes it really works? i wonder wy i cant decode does it need more time? i’ve been waiting fo 3 minutes of scanning, nothing absolutely nothing, no bip no vibrating, no information. can someone help me plz
interesting application but, with few exceptions, still do not see much use for everyday life … maybe in the future, when more people and businesses use it allows us to compare prices and get information about products that we want to buy
The simple reason this app requires access to your personal info is that it can and most folks give it willingly. The droid is a Google phone and Google is in the business of collecting as much personal data as it can. Google is probably not trying to take over the world, but whoever does take over the world will be happy to take all the data from Google. Read Google’s privacy policies. We give them the right to keep everything we give them – searches by google, gmail, g-chat… everything. Read the news about Google’s Street View vans invading wireless networks in CT last year. Paranoid? Maybe. Senator Blumenthal (formerly CT A.G.) didn’t think it was so benign. But just research those two things and see if you’re then paranoid too.
Cheers, all!
anyone remember that scannerz game? where you scan barcodes for monsters… how come they can’t make that an app for the android???
