Default Free barcode reader (REAL UPCs)

Please Login to Remove!

It's in the beta stages but it still works very well, you can find it at edocrab*|*Leave the Jungle. Hit the Beach. (SM) or on appworld BlackBerry App World - edocrab (Beta)

I just thought I'd share this with you all since I remember being very disappointed with the QR code readers out there (like BeeTagg) and how unpractical they were.

I should also mention that your BB's camera must support autofocus for this to work as intended. Otherwise, you can still manually input the barcode and it'll give you similar results.

Oh Auto-Focus bah. No wonder it kept giving me the "hardware error" when I tried to use it with my 8310. But the app itself is very nice. Price guides are great, altho I did find some "reviews" to be for different products then the one searched for. Oh well I just wanted to try it out anyway... I since then deleted it. ;)

I tried using this app in the past, on load it would crash give me a frowny face then reboot my device. I gave up and removed it.

I downloaded the app and have scan half the office and have not yet be able to get a scan barcode to work. I dont know if im not taking the picture right which I doubt cause i have taking a picture of everything in the office with different settings or that the app is just not working at all. Any feedback on this app from other members?

It half works on the 9700. It goes to the camera, focuses on the barcode and looks excellent on the screen for 1/2 second and the screen goes white, then back to code, back and forth and it will not let you take a picture.

Hope you get it fixed as I have yet to get such a sharpe image of the UPC in the past.

It works for me. I am also using a 9700. I have to hold both the camera and upc code pretty steady. If I do, it usually manages to capture the image on the 2nd or 3rd try. It does it automatically, and seems to capture the UPC code even though it sometimes is blurry.

My issue is actually, that they have currently a very limited database of UPC codes. I've found that most products still aren't found.

This will be a HUGE impediment for them. There are many more BBs out there without this feature than with auto focus.

In other words; I'm mad that my 1 week old BOLD can't use this.

Smile worked for me

I have a bold 9700 and this app worked for me, I love it!!!
Try going into the options for your camera and change the focus settings to close-up every time you want to scan a barcode. I've scanned a bunch of codes and they have all worked so far for me!
