Code Scanner

Simple and easy to use one and two dimensional code scanner. The app supports next features:

  • scan 2D codes like QR, Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417
  • scan Barcodes like EAN-8, EAN-13, ISBN, Code 128, etc
  • keep the history of the code scans
  • search codes in history and group by scan date
  • add codes to favorites and show them on Apple Watch
  • easily share scanned codes through email and social networks
  • export all data to CSV format

The app recognizes the content of the code and triggers the appropriate action like opening website in a browser, displaying a location on map, searching a book by ISBN number, adding an event to calendar or adding a contact to the Address Book.

The Code Scanner app has been designed to be as simple for use as possible and I hope you likes it.

If you find any mistakes in the code recognition please send me a letter and I will fix issue in the next app update. Thank you!
