Bakodo - Barcode Scanner and QR Bar Code Reader for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not set up for Australia.No response after two feedbacks makes me think software developer is not interested in improving product.Version: 3.2
✓ It it should not go on the web after scanning a barcodeIt is always trying to look for a barcode on the web. Why?.Version: 4.2
✓ Broken AppThis app is not functioning. I bypassed creating an account so when I scan a barcode it takes me to google and google asks what I am looking for. I thought that was due to not creating an account so I created an account. I then scan a barcode and it does the exact same thing! App Support does not work. The website takes you to a page that says Unauthorized and there is no option to delete my account. Now, yet another clown has my email address…😠good work!.Version: 4.2
✓ Doesn’t work for meTried this for the first time but it doesn’t work for me. It just take me to google when I scan a barcode without giving any information..Version: 4.2
✓ Doesn't work at allTried on 4 different items and ... nothing! Just like I use my cam and aim at a barcode....Version: 4.1
✓ Free? Got my money's worth.Scanned everything I couldn't find every single item came up as unknown, even Pepsi. If it can't find Pepsi what can it find?.Version: 4.0
✓ Better if it had more AussieNeeds more australian products but scanning functionality is quite good.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Simply doesn’t work!So I downloaded this app in the hope it would assist me to search items available from a range of stores and identify indicative market value of the item...unfortunately it has not identified one item scanned...simply opens Google yet doesn’t even search? Is this cause I live in the Southern Hemisphere perhaps? Either way, crapola.Version: 4.2

✓ Used to workI used this app yesterday and worked perfectly but now using it today even on the stuff I scanned yesterday “Google shopping” has just been coming upas if I wanted to search something.Version: 4.2
✓ Barcode camera scanI guess that as the products mount up in the history page the scanner will become more & more beneficial. I have found it rather awkward lining up the barcode with my iPhone camera lens. This is made more so by the tendency of the camera to shut down after so long. Granted, I could alter my settings, but this is time consuming and should be unnecessary. I am always in favour of products which save the consumer money. Especially when the larger stores are putting their already high prices even higher. So, all in all, in my humble opinion a good app with lots of potential. Onwards and upwards guys..Version: 3.4
✓ Terrible!This app sucks. Scan the bar code, it opens a google search but doesn’t put anything in the search bar!.Version: 4.2
✓ Great idea but..Great idea but why when i add a product it doesnt find it when i scan it again? Waited 24 hrs and still not there. 3 stars for that itherwise would give 5!.Version: 0

✓ This app is uselessAbsolutely terrible!!! I'd give zero stars if I could..Version: 3.4
✓ I'm sure it's greatI really wanted this to work. Unfortunately, on my 3GS, the app simply refused to run. At least it just shut off instead if locking up. And yes, I did reset the phone..Version: 0
✓ Avoid at all costsGarbage , takes barcode that's it. No Australian currency does not work. They don't have zero feedbacks so I have to give 1 star.Version: 3.4

✓ ??Great app but would like Nz$ option.Version: 3.2
✓ This is a waste of precious timesIt takes you to every app you have to change the settings and even when you spend over an hour doing that you still don’t know where the item originally came from.Version: 4.2
✓ Need up dateFound this app in NZ app store but it doesn't have NZ $ option...Version: 3.2
✓ It doesn’t work at allWhy put it here when it doesn’t work..Version: 4.2
✓ Good appThis app is quick and easy to use and gives you some good information on the product. I would have rated it 5 stars if it would have scanned all products correctly but unfortunately it didn't. Some of the barcodes I scanned came up unknown and others showed a completely different product with the same barcode which is strange. Please fix and this will be an even better app.Version: 4.1
✓ Useless in CanadaDoesn't work in Canada.Version: 3.3.1

✓ Needs multinational supportGood app fast scans but needs Support for other countries like New Zealand please :).Version: 3.2
✓ PlopplopsSporadic at best!.Version: 4.2
✓ MehIt worked for the popular products but might need to be updated every now and then to be able to acknowledge the products that have been out for at least a year. Ridiculous! I’m disappointed and will not be using this app again. Thank you but no thank you..Version: 4.2
✓ JunkFirst thing scanned opened google. What? Thanks for wasting my time..Version: 4.2
✓ Wouldn’t searchThe app scanned the barcode very fast but once it opened the google shopping search, the search bar was empty and there was no results. I tried the barcode several times and I tried other barcodes too (in case it was just that particular one) but still nothing..Version: 4.2
✓ Worked for most QR codes triedHad this application for a while. It had worked for QR codes in the past. Latest upgrade now it doesn’t read QR codes or regular UPC codes. Keep on trying to scan the codes and the app now does nothing. It doesn’t tell you there is an error - it doesn’t tell you anything. Will be removing the app as it’s non-functional. 👎🏻.Version: 4.2
✓ Can't turn location services offNot worth it. Rarely finds any product I'm interested in. Will be uninstalling..Version: 3.4
✓ They screwed it upI have had this barcode scanner for a long time and it worked well but the last several times I’ve used it all that comes Up is google “ what are you looking for “ the item you scan doesn’t look up. They did some kinda updates that screwed it up. Now it’s useless..Version: 4.2

✓ :/Its okay, bit hard to use. End up typing it in..Version: 3.4
✓ Any scan takes you to Google Shopping!!This app has been hijacked! It used to work. Now, no matter what I scan it takes me to a paid ad page for Google Shopping. There is no update visible on the App Store. I am now removing what was once a simple and usable barcode reader app. Perhaps this was part of the ios13 upgrade..Version: 4.2
✓ What’s the point?Scan a barcode and it takes you to a blank Google page. Quite pointless really.Version: 4.2
✓ SosoWorks sometimes. Not good for Canadians.Version: 3.4

✓ ScanAbsolutely useless.Version: 3.4
✓ Bit messedIt’s not coming up with price.Version: 4.2
✓ Way TOO EARLY!!! I, "Literally", JUST Got it!!I ALWAYS Read Customer Reviews, before ANY Purchase!! I prefer to know`(as much as I can), about All Products!! Therefore, I look at the Reveiws!,-Customers providing: REAL/TRUTHFUL Information, Helpful Recommendations, & giving Their HONEST opinion,-"Good/Bad"!! (Everyone has their own•{preference/taste/etc.!}•So,"opinions" are.... " Interesting!"-NOT-"factual"!! PLEASE,(in the future), FIX the Apps & STOP "Asking/Prompting" For Ratings, (Within HOURS!!), after a Customer's Initial Use!?? THAT, "for me", =🚫🌟‼️ Unfortunately, this can Not be done!! So, it's 1️⃣🌟ONLY!! If I had,`(An ADEQUATE), Amount of TIME to ACTUALLY- "TRY/USE" this App?!!.... "Who knows?"..,.Version: 4.2
✓ Waste of timeThe app doesn't work. I had it for 3 years and every time I tried to use it before the recent update it was at least opening but was unsuccessful at scanning any barcode. With the last update it just crashes every time I tried it..Version: 4.2
✓ Not working no instructionsPointed at barcode, it was on camera, waited, nothing happened and no instructions on what to do. I know! Uninstall. Bad app..Version: 4.2
✓ Time wasteTotal time waste. Taking 1 min to search the code after that no result. Useless app..Version: 3.4
✓ Not a good appDoesn’t scan No red line No reading goes to google Weird Deleting.Version: 4.2
✓ Impossible to useDownloaded this app hoping to understand a clearly presented barcode. The app jumped to a Google search page immediately it was launched and on each subsequent attempt. Unable even to focus on the barcode. Will be deleting as have found a similar app, also free, that works..Version: 4.2
✓ Not so helpful for productsIt literally just puts the barcode number into google. I could have done that myself 🤦♂️.Version: 4.2
✓ Didn’t workReads barcode then opens blank google search. No data or info is found..Version: 4.2
✓ Doesn’t scan anythingI’ve had this on my phone(s) for a few years, different versions of iPhones. I hadn’t used it in a while but needed it tonight. It scanned NOTHING. All it would do is take me to a blank Google page. I tried going to their web site but it never loaded. I checked their Twitter page and they haven’t posted anything since 2011. I guess this app is dead or obsolete now, so why is it still available?.Version: 4.2
✓ **icThis is the worst app does not work it is rubbish.Version: 4.2
✓ Does not workI tried a few times but got only 1 of 2 responses. Either, ‘no barcode recognised’ or redirected to the google search page. Do not bother wasting any time on this..Version: 4.2
✓ Does not workJust opens shopping page on google!.Version: 4.2
✓ IPodI have an iPod it doesn't work so well it worked once and then started to load this app needs an update.Version: 3.4
✓ Hate itIt doesn’t matter what thing is it just Scans it and it takes me to google shopping so I have to type it 1 Star.Version: 4.2
✓ Waste of timeWaste of time. Just kept taking me to an empty google search page. I can do that myself..Version: 4.2
✓ Was there a need to sign in/make an account?Didn't even make it past that area 😂.Version: 4.2
✓ RA piece of crap.Version: 4.2
✓ BakodoRubbish App, doesn't work.Version: 3.4
✓ Doesn’t Scan The Barcode ProperlyThis app doesn’t scan the barcode. The moment the barcode starts to enter into the alignment frame, the app instantly takes you to a google shopping page that doesn’t even remotely relate to the item your scanning. It happened so fast that at first I thought that I was being redirected to an ad. But even after clicking “Done” when I tried again it did the exact same thing..Version: 4.2
✓ DisappointedCould’nt get it to work in the first couple of minutes. Moving on to the next candidate..Version: 4.2
✓ Useful appNot bad, not all products available in Australia but internet sources that are available are fairly good and can ship here.Version: 0
✓ Barcode scanningHi! This is my review/opinion: I thought when you scan the barcode it will take you directly to the shopping page but instead it just takes you to the goggle shopping website and you have to type the name of the item and when you search up a barcode that has nothing to do with shopping it still takes you to goggle shopping..Version: 4.2
✓ LostI was a dedicated user of this app but it doesn’t work anymore and I was trying to figure out if it was because I had to many scans but hell I can’t even figure out how to delete the history. Hate to get rid of this app but I need to scan items when I go shopping. 🤦🏽♀️.Version: 4.2
✓ Only Online ProductsI downloaded this app because of all the great reviews. I enabled location services for it but it only shows online stores for everything I scan. I've even tested it on products I just purchased locally but the app still only gives results for online stores. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If it requires me to "sign in" then I guess I'm out of luck because I do NOT want to do that..Version: 4.2
✓ TrashDon’t waste your time with this app don’t work.Version: 4.2
✓ Useless appDoesn't work.Version: 4.2
✓ A Mystery How to Use ItHow to use it is a mystery. Open the app and it doesn’t give a chance to scan anything. It just goes to Google Shopping. Can’t get to a help screen. Isn’t a barcode scanner supposed to scan a barcode then provide information?.Version: 4.2
✓ Handy appUseful app for interacting with posters that have QR codes, not much use for anything else.Version: 3.4
✓ HopelessDoesn't work.Version: 4.2
✓ Product pricesIt only shows Woolworths prices, would be nice if you also show Coles prices!.Version: 4.2
✓ Garbage appDoes NOT read barcodes. It just try to go to advertizing web sites.Version: 4.2
✓ Doesn't work ...Sorry!Scans maybe one barcode then gives up... Doesn't recognize any bar codes as products? Can see URL codes but not always reliable. Certainly useless for Australian users... Sorry poor app waste of time!.Version: 3.4
✓ UselessScanned lots of stuff. No results even once..Version: 3.4
✓ This is soooooo badDidn’t work.Version: 4.2
✓ Works every time, 47% of the timeEither could not find or would find wrong item nearly every time it was used. It did work several times and it worked well when it did, but I didn’t find it useful and accurate enough to keep. Glad it was free..Version: 4.2
✓ Not happyI haven’t been able to use it yet because every time I go to go into it it goes to Google search.Version: 4.2
✓ Accessing photos doesn't workGranted permissions post update to the camera and photos. Tapped the icon, browsed to a photo with a valid barcode, tapped the photo and the screen went black, except for icons. After a few seconds got a pop up message saying no valid barcode found but it failed to open the photo, which had been taken by the phone with standard settings and in good light, complete with clear barcode. Just doesn't work..Version: 4.2
✓ RidiculousThis app is garbage!!!! I hate the creators of this app!!! I just wanted a simple barcode scan on some stupid shirts at Walmart but this sad, pathetic app sent me to some stupid google shopping link. This literally does not work. It just doesn’t. If you check the reviews, you’ll see that there are more one-star reviews than any other rating. I am pleased to join those ranks and give this one star. I’m pretty sure all the five-star ratings are bots sent by the company. Words cannot describe how much of a letdown this was..Version: 4.2
✓ Useless on iPodI've scanned almost every thing in my house and it only read it once.Version: 3.4
✓ No good on Aussie productsScanned a foreign book and was taken to multiple Australian websites where it could be bought - great! Headed to the pantry and it was useless. Didn't recognize the Vegemite, Nescafe, Capilano honey or Brands Laira wine. It did work well on Drambuie. So if you're an Aussie looking for at an imported product, great. But otherwise ....Version: 3.3.1
✓ Broken appIt scans opens and shows empty search box..Version: 4.2
✓ InconsistentWorked about 40% of the time, scanning random items, so 2/5 stars. I'm in Canada..Version: 4.0
✓ Doesn't workI tried scanning multiple barcodes and it said "Ooops! No barcode recognized" Waste of time. Don't download..Version: 4.2
✓ No good in NZShould put location options in description.Version: 3.4
✓ MrScanned two items without problems then it stopped scanning. No NZ currency option..Version: 3.2
✓ Confusing Difficult to useDifficulties started even as early as login or sign in page. Very confusing. Never managed to succeed. In the end, I just took a photo of the barcode..Version: 4.2
✓ Doesnt workDoesn't work for anything!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Doesn't scan alot of thingsHit and miss with things it will scan.Version: 3.4
✓ AwesomeWorks well.Version: 3.2
✓ No goodHaven't scanned anything it has any info on.Version: 3.3.1
✓ UnhappyThis app used to give you product information when you scanned a product. Now it just forwards you to Google Shopping, where you have to manually type in the product name. If the scanning function does nothing, why do I need this useless middle step?.Version: 4.2
✓ This is a ransomware. Dont download it.Ask for personal credentials. Dont bother. Other apps are fully free and fully functional. Dont loose energy with this crapy app..Version: 4.1
✓ Sucks horrible uselessUseless app.Version: 4.2
✓ MilkWhen I scanned milk it came up with tights.Version: 4.2
✓ Aussie data still lackingStill not a great deal if Aussie product data to draw on. Redlaser does searches on library catalogues which this app could easily take advantage of..Version: 0
✓ UselessI scanned a bar code it change to search on Google！.Version: 4.0
✓ Barcode scannerDoesn't work , scanner doesn't scan.Version: 3.2
✓ Very bad user interfaceI downloaded the app to scan a qe from screen and gallery. I opened the app, focused very fast on qr and then.... I was waiting for a response but i did not get any.... the. I tried to find a button on screen thinking i should click on the focused qr to get a feedback but nothing.... Then suddenly the app was displaying a window with a link i guess from qr and a cancel button... Deapite i kept cancelling the popup window was kept opening without permission. I removed the app immediately. The author could add feedback on each window and control its behavior. Also a quick guide at atartup could solve waisting my time on how to use the app... Users are not geeks and an app must have a good designed interface for user..Version: 4.2
✓ MalodorousAs virtually every review from the last 2-3 years will show, this app no longer functions. Why it is still available is beyond me! Completely useless, takes me to the google shopping page every time!.Version: 4.2
✓ I've had betterOverall unhappy with this app, upon installing I scanned some various items from around the house and was only able to find results on one of them. Doesn't work well on any barcodes except standard UPC ones, that's all I could get it to scan..Version: 4.2
✓ Pretty goodPretty good app n really easy to use but can skew.Version: 3.4
✓ Sign up for what !That bs should have been in the description, I wanted a barcode reader and to be able to create them. Other then signing up, for what I don't know & don't plan on doing. So as long as I can skip over it I will continue to use this app. As It's is very fast and saved me some money a favorite store trying sell something as a bogo, which I was sure was the regular price so I looked it up and was correct saved me 10 dollars. Yay And to the developer want more than one star remove the sign up nonsense make it so I can create barcodes and I'll give you five stars..Version: 4.2
✓ Doesn't workEither I am a uni graduate with no brains or this app won't scan. I hold it still, I press the button and nothing happens. 3Gs phone on IOS 4.?.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Useless appDon't even bother with this app. I downloaded it on July 21, 2014, and tried to scan a few items around the kitchen. 0/5, none worked. Total failure. I'll try a different app..Version: 3.4
