DataSymbol Barcode Scanner for Android
Nice thing for use
Good
This is the best code reader I've come across by a wide margin. I work with a variety of code types and this is the reader I've found that reads everything I point it at: UPC-(any), databar-limited, datamatrix, etc. Additionally, it's one of the few that identifies code types, which is super handy in my industry. My only complaint is that I wish it could function in portrait mode, which would be more ergonomic, but that's a very minor complaint. For reference: running on Moto X gen 1.
While it does support the most codes among similar apps, it crashes a LOT. First I thought certain types of codes make it crash, in part I was right but it crashes occasionally even with frequently used codes like DataMatrix or QR Code, and the content doesn't matter. It always crashes though after scanning certain codes like Code39, EAN-8, UPC A, Aztec Code, etc. That's a huge problem, it makes this app extremely undependable. And what's with the landscape only orientation? It makes it crash even more often.

Super app
I have been trying to get a Wi-Fi barcode reader that would scan barcodes on foil labels and this does! Although whenever I scan a barcode it replaces the first 2 characters with **. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Thanks.
It works well as long as you have the phone in landscape mode. If you hold it upright it crashes after scanning qr codes in Wi-Fi mode. A more obvious settings button would help usability.
2D symbols not decoding.

Worked perfectly as advertised. A lot of others claim to decode 2d, but won't. This does!
What is with all the invasive permissions?
Fantastic app, after the update, no longer crashes the camera on my Flo. This app is much better than the more popular alternatives!
Works good
I have finally found a scanner worthy of praise. Able to scan everything from UPC to the data bar code of my drivers license. Excellent!

This app wasn't on my Droid RAZR maxx for more than 1 minute before it crashed my phones camera and would not allow it to initialize. NO GOOD APP!
Fantastic app, I wanted something that could read rfc14 stacked omni barcodes. Unfortunately this crashes the camera in both my nexus 7, and my girlfriends moto x, requiring the devices to be rebooted. Would gladly assist devs with debug logs, let me know if and how I can help!

Reads all the codes. Interface is garbage though. Almost 5 stars.
