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.
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!
