After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Why needs an app to scan barcode?
Why not make it scan both? Any ideas?
I don’t see a use case where barcodes are useful, other than for being a few random numbers.
When I use to have an Android device, using the camera to scan barcodes gave me a price of that item while I was out shopping. So I could check other stores for a cheaper option, or take advantage of a store policy that offers to beat or match any price. Being a frugal shopper I really do miss that feature being built in.
There still are apps for that purpose in the AppStore.
The stock camera app can’t do it.
