Code Scanner by ScanLife for Negative User Reviews

VfgHgg.Version: 3.0.390

WorthlessOpens QR linked website but keyboard won’t allow letters in Account Number field. Once everything entered via copy/paste nuisance the app won’t allow clicking on the buttons to proceed..Version: 8.0.3

No good for Canada At All as Usual.No good for Canadian products at all. Installed and deleted right away !.Version: 4.1

Almost there - but missing vital featuresThis app supports vcard (contact info) format for QR Codes, but not the common standard for Asia (China Mobile's Card format), and it certainly can't create either. AT&T wants you to go through their portal so they can lock you into their own codes. This is really bad and not useful - their create-a-code site is terrible too: it's not in-app (an external website) so it is pretty slow and useless in practice. That said - it reads text and web url QR's *really* fast, with a nice UI too. It should have been perfect. However QuickMark beats it hands down right now - just because of this app's poor create-a-code features and the lack of China mobile contact info support which QuickMark has. I can't recommend this app but, if AT&T update it to support the more common contact format and add better create features - then I certainly would use this as my primary app..Version: 0

So badIt doesn't even support some type of barcodes.Version: 0

UselessFrom the rating above, subtract ten stars. I would have happily left it at zero, but your insistence pisses me off. Does not identify even common codes such as Crest toothpaste. Now I remember why I deleted the app years ago..Version: 8.0.5

Doesn’t workDoes not find anything. It’s been years since this app worked. It used to be decent, but now it’s a waste of space..Version: 8.0.3

Would like to see a Canadian database on this AppI have downloaded this App and was hoping that I could use it in Canada but that is not the case. Anyone know of a barcode app that can be used in Canada?.Version: 2.0.24

GoodNot that bad.Version: 3.0.921

Still crashesI got this as an update to the older AT&T version and it crashed, would not work. This app is obsolete in iOS 11 as your camera will recognize QR codes in the same way..Version: 7.0.4

Won't scanCould not scan at all... Would give a 0 star rating.Version: 0

OK but...Did an update kill this? I tried it when it first came out and thought it was pretty good - one of the better scanners out there. Now I have a difficult time scanning even with simple codes. Having hard time on iPhone 4 and 3Gs. There are much better free scanners out there. Tapreader, Scanit etc. and I don't like the idea of AT&T keeping track of anything I scan. Nice UI etc. buy without reliable scanning, what's the point..Version: 0

Worthless app don’t need it taking up any spaceThis app is worthless on 9 out of 10 items I checked it said sorry cannot find information.Version: 7.0.6

Worst appNo retina display support - for AT&T is... strange... No UTF-8 in barcodes support at all. Request optional registration at start - stupid..Version: 0

Update renders the app non functionalUpdate renders the app non functional Deleting app.Version: 8.0.4

Doesn't work with 3gFrom experience and from what feedback I can find online, it would seem that this app or any other dealing with scanning is not really compatible with iPhone 3G. I've tried redlaser, fooducate, and now this and have never gotten one single successful scan. Perhaps someone should make this info available and stop wasting folks valuable time. Uninstalling. Might try again when I upgrade to 4g.Version: 2.0.24

HowHow do you scan the bar code?.Version: 4.0

Crap AppWorked a few times than it suddenly crashes every time you try to launch it. Appears obsolete and totally generic. Time to move to a more stable version for iOS 11.Version: 7.0.4

You get what you paid forThis is a great app with an even better price but about every minute or two it crashes.Version: 4.0

Bar scanUseless !.Version: 5.0.1

Battery hogUsed more than 50% of my battery in less than 6 hours in background processes. Uninstalled..Version: 7.0.4

Dumb with a capital DThere is no need for this app. You're going to read a magazine and then scan a barcode in an ad??? How about just putting a URL in the ad?? Oh, because the marketing wizards at ATT are trying to market products to people for whom they think have difficulty typing in urls. The fallacy here is that those same consumers are supposed to be tech savvy enough to have a smart phone configured to scan the marketing barcodes. Same fundamental blunder behind the cuecat ( check wikipedia for that infamous story ). Att, my iPhone is not a cuecat, and I am quite capable when typing in urls..Version: 0

Again!!! Not in CanadaI hate these apps that don't other telling you they don't work in Canada unroll AFTER you install them!!! Waste of time. It might be worth mention in the description, don't you think??.Version: 3.0.921

Does Not Identify Anything?This used to be my go to Barcode Scanner App for years, but as if today I am deleting it off my iPhone 7 Plus as it will not successfully identify any type of barcode anymore. I switched to 2 others that work perfectly and never going back to this one. Obviously the App developer no longer cares if this App even functions properly anymore based on previous reviews! Bye!.Version: 7.0.9

USE TO BE GOOD APP-NOT NOW!I am a personal user of the ScanLife Mobile App. The app did work well for the last 2 years, HOWEVER, it does not recognize any UPC's now!! I loved being able to compare prices and now all I get is "Sorry we couldn't find this product anywhere". REALLY?? Also when I scan a Code-it just tells me about the product which is good info-but would be nice if it would show comparison shopping options and prices! If this is the way it works now-I'm removing the App..Version: 6.4

AT&TLast update now it does not work at all, thanks you have made up my mind what to do with this app.Version: 6.2

UselessDoesn’t work at all since the update.Version: 9.0.3

There are better ones out thereDid not work for me. Do a search on 'scan' and you will find good apps that work.Version: 2.0.20

Scanner doesn't recognize much!9 out of 10 products were not recognized.Version: 3.0.390

Batting .825Update to initial review below - when I turned off the confirmations in Options/Scan Settings, I started to get results. As far as I can tell, there is no direct route to the scan results from the confirmation screen - each time I chose Yes, there was no page found, and choosing No simply returns to the scan - wrote yourselves an endless loop, folks! And what is the purpose of the confirmation screens, anyway? Seems to be an unnecessary complication. Oh yes, and Boru vodka still scans as Pink Stars Skin for DSi. ------------------------------- So far this app is batting .325. It scanned several items at home and in the store accurately. However, I hit a big fail when it scanned a 1.5 litre bottle of Boru vodka as a pink skin for a Nintendo DSi. Tried again and again, with no improvement. Have not had a successful scan since, including Stop & Shop creamer, Black Box Malbec, Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum, and Roland Sriracha sauce. Help isn't helpful. I'd love for this to work, but right now I'm underwhelmed..Version: 2.0.24

Hate itIts so slow and doesn't work. It's crap. I would rate it 0 stars if I could..Version: 3.0.921
