AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:
Features:
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.
How to use QR Codes on AndroidTapp.com:
There are 2 ways…
- Scan your monitor. Simply launch the app and scan your actual monitor with your Android phone. Tapp “Open in Market” button and Voila… it directs you to the app in the Market.
- Tapp the Link. Alternatively, if you’re viewing an Android App Review on your Android Phone… simply tapp the QR Code for the same effect.

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.
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
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.
