Bakodo Pro - Barcode Scanner & QR Code Reader App Reviews

It's a neat app... I scanned 5 things... 2 were right, one wasn't in the database and two were completely wrong. I scanned cookies and the database had it listed as a gold ring. The other was some juice and the database had it listed as kitty litter.

The barcode scan only returns the google website page. You got no barcode info. This true of both the free and so called ‘pro’ version that you have to ay for. The free barcode scan used to work at one time but no longer. I contacted app support 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing. Get a different app for barcode scanning. This is a piece of junk.

When I first downloaded the free version it worked well, however only returned the MSRP. Now it doesn’t work at all. I downloaded the Pro version at a cost thinking it would work better, but just the same! Don’t waste your time or money!

I realize this was last updated 2years ago, it use to work pretty reliably. Now it opens empty google page. Won’t scan any additional barcodes. Some products will scan but won’t return or hold the value.

Downloaded pro version it reads upc. But I other linear symbologies supported. They Claim it works it does not. Also sent request for help through the app. No response. I will be speaking a refund soon if my next support request is not responded to

Waste of money, every time I try to scan it goes to google and does NOTHING!!! Don’t get this app it doesn’t work at all. I paid the $2.99 for the Pro version because the free version wasn’t working.

This app is completely useless. Every barcode I’ve scanned, the app has taken me to a blank Google search page.

Pulls up web site but does not play. Wasted money. I can't see the difference between the free one and this one. Do not buy

Wasted money. Did not work!!! Although it looks fancy,,..

I did not like this app wouldn't pull up anything I scanned

Don’t waste your money as it is useless!

It never works.

When I first got the app some time ago it found nearly any product I scanned and after using it for several months it stopped working and can't match any barcode to a product. I upgraded to pro and it still works like crap. Don't waste your money on this one something happened to it and now it's worthless.

It worked the first time, and then the camera wouldn't focus. I relaunched the barcode and got it working again. So glad since I love the information this barcode scanner gives me!! Definitely saved me a lot of money!

I've tried four other scan apps and this one wins on speed and accuracy. I don't need lots of features, just the basics, so this is the one I recommend for others.

I've only had this for a week and I've already saved so much money it's unreal.. I'm never going shopping without this again! Pays for itself easily and easy to use.. Definite 5/5 from me but I wish I could give it 6

I've been through more than ten barcode scanners for my iPhone 3GS. Bakido grabs the barcode before I even know it - fast & accurate. EVERYTHING about Bakido is excellent. It's a must-have for your iPhone / iPad.

I expected some new features with the paid version, one of them being a faster horizontal scanning. I think I'm missing something entirely, how does holding it horizontally scan faster, because of ergonomics?? From the pictures on the App Store I thought maybe in landscape mode there would be two pages on the iPhone simultaneously, but this is not the case. Disappointed..

Several of the items scanned, normally found in my kitchen, were not in the data base. Of those I found, it gave good information but it would be nice if it included the nutrition information. I liked the web search capability

Another awesome product for the iPhone. Use it when shopping and simply scan the labels and search for cheaper prices! another way to save a few bucks! Great APP!!!!

1: Prices are not current. 2: Does not usually compare prices with local brick and mortar stores. 3: I didn't buy this app to consistently "be the first one to input this item"! The technique is just fine, but currently I would definitely not recommend wasting a dollar on this app unless you don't mind working on expanding the database more often than utilizing useful information.

I am a technophobic shopper. Had 2 other apps that I couldn't understand. Love this one. It's saved me tons of $$ comparison shopping. I really like that I can get info by naming the product without barcode.

It works, it fills a need, it doesn't crash, and it less than a buck. Buy it. The Pro version is ad-free in case you were wondering.

I have aware barcodes for prints of my art work. The program worked wonderfully and took my potential clients right to that print on my web site. Thanks!

I work retail and it searches many of the products we have, and I can add some of the products we have that are not in the system yet.

So far I have used it for both qr scans and barcodes and it has worked great I was using another that only did qr's I like how I can scan both

Simple, user friendly, does everything it was meant to do...already have told friends and everyone has gotten it!

Best working when I found yet but it seems all of them have their flaws hope this review is helpful enjoy

Every time I use it all info comes up I tap on it and the URL opens right up and I am on the right page.

Very good barcode scanner. I haven't been using it that long but I like it. Once it pulled up an entire catalog. I highly recommend it!

I have used this several times and have not had any problem.

Was surprised at some of the tattered (and at times even covered) barcodes that the app was able to read. Very useful.

I had the free version which was full of scanning problems, I.e the scan button does not respond to the touch but at its own we'll.....so I bought the pro version ...unfortunately...the problem persisted. Also at the few times it worked., it's date base is empty and it ask you for help...this is really refocuses.

Guys I don't know how to use you thing anymore. Sometimes you can paint a painting for too long and add too many details and all of a sudden it becomes not a Monalisa anymore, but a piece of crap. Literally.

It is not easy to cover entire range of products. This app has to improve on it's database.

There are a slew of barcode scanners in the appstore these days but this one surpasses everything else by a white margin .nice work !!!!!!

Amazingly useful! Saved me more than its purchase price the very first time I used it.

Great APP. BUT please (!) -Add a row Where I can record what I found on sale and where. This lets me remember which stores have a Manager Special and then compare my local to your market scans.

Doesn't scan all products. Needs to be updated more frequently.

Pretty cool, although as mentioned by another user, doesn't scan very well on barcodes.

Works as expected, and looks better than expected.

Work very well, but, the scan feature only works for QR codes, I have to manually enter in the barcode number.

I like this app it works for me you should try it out

A little hard to hold steady enough. More instructions would be helpful.

Best app of it's kind it always works right away, very convenient.

I have tested a few mobile scanners and this one really works well .

Awesome product! Easy to use and does exactly what it says scans barcodes.

This is the best barcode I have used. I think I have tried them all. Very accurate

This is the best barcode and QR scanner combo out there. And it looks great on your menu, and in app. Definitely worth the money!

This application was a $0.99 waste of time. Shop Savy was much better application. Would like a refund.

This is a great App, just needs feedback from Australians for it to be more effective in Australia

You should add AUS Barcode support

Seems to work fine just nothing for Australia:(

Seems to work

Just what I need

Very good app

Should NOT be on Australian Apple store when it does NOT work here. Ripped off want my money back!!!

So far, not as workable as the free version. Scan stopped working.

App is rubbish. Does not work in Australia.

Not for australia cero rate

I paid for the full version, and all it does is look up products from Amazon in the US.

Get it off the Australian App Store or update to work here if not refund money

Works for me.

Scanned everything in my house with a barcode and it didnt recognize anything

Nice simple app

I have had the pro version for a while. It no longer functions and it does not read anything, regardless of light, glare, steadiness. I cannot recommend this APP.

Don't bother! Complete rip- off.

I purchased this app and tried it on several basic bar codes. Didn't work. .99c wasted. Glad it wasn't 9.99. I guess if they get s buck from every sucker they'll get rich in the backs of the uninformed. I hope others don't make the same mistake I did. That'll teach me for not reading the reviews first.

Gave it 4 star? Sometimes it work fine and other days it doesn't work, can you improve bug fix.

I thought it was going to be cool but right off the bat it read 2 out of 12 easy house hold items. From dish detergent to salad dressing it could not figure it out. Too bad

I scan a lot of barcode...but it did not identifie any!!!

Nice

Lousy database. Won't find most things.

Dont know how to work it

An absolute waste of money

Awsome

I can only scan QR codes on my IPod but I can scan both code types on my dads IPad.

Has never worked in the couple of months that I have had it downloaded .

This product was a complete rip-off; it hasn't recognized any bar codes I've confronted it with so far. Save your money!

It doesn't work as promise, it couldn't find 9 of 10 products

Very accurate scans. Only one weakness: Its database is far to be complete. Besides that, I give it 4 Stars!

Good app

Seems to work fine,so far.

First barcode scanned showed a great looking belt for a good price...too bad I was scanning apple juice!!

Useless

Useless does not recognize most bar codes

Does not work on ipod. Should tell people before buying!

I just got this app and already I love it!!

You just get close to the code and it zings it right up asking if you want the info or go directly to the site - awesome!

Easy as 1,2,3 :D

Terrible, does not scan barcodes on my iPod touch

Cannot live without it

Very user friendly and will come in very handy. Thank you!

The only problem I have is that it said I can scan any barcode but it's only letting me scan QR codes but that could be because I'm using an iPod touch

A pleasure to use.

Really like the pro version, arman :)

Very handy app

Needs to get proper light condition to scan - this is not a laser here. The database in construction but a lot of products are recorded and you can easily save the cost of this app. Please contribute before posting bad comments on this app .

Poor

Not very good!

Waste of time even to try it. The author want the users build up the data base for him/her so this can be benefitial.

Wow, I wasted 0.99 $CD

Could not get it to scan anything .

Do not buy this apt

This a poor app because it's author in getting the information he wanted ignored the wishes of the user. Does not deserve to be in the family of apple and apple-related apps.

No good at all

Three items - all national brands, no hits. This will be nice one day - but not today

This app is crap I'd DOES NOT WORK

It works sometimes but not always

When I scan a barcode I get no results at all. The program asks me where did I purchase the product and how much I paid for it! I'm not pleased at all with this app.

Ne marche pas très bien

Works great. Highly recommended.
