Zeros
Some days it adds a zero to the front of the UPC and other days it works fine. Tried removing leading characters with no result.
Can’t get ads to go away.
I paid for the ad free version, and even when I try and get it to “restore purchases” it just crashes, reloads with ads on it. I’ve spent my money, I have no satisfaction, the app wasn’t scanning barcodes correctly either, it was faster to just enter data by hand than play with this janky app. I also couldn’t get it to load a spreadsheet from my files. Once again, cool concept but doesn’t deliver.
Did not work for me
I have an iPhone 11 running iOS. I selected and downloaded this app. I was not able to find written support documentation on the functions of each button or icon in the app. The videos on-line were skimpy. The trial spreadsheet I generated during 2 hours of trial and error kept crashing my app. Frustrated and will uninstall. I tried to like the app but the app doesn’t like me.
Update didn’t fix issue
Unfortunately this update did not fix the issue I previously reported. It still won’t export to Excel.
Can’t restore my purchase
After a terrible update that changed the colors start showing Ads, when I trying to restore my purchase the App just exit with no changes still The Ads shows and unable to restoring, ether to fix this issue or refund my money.
Waist of money
Will not scan to spreadsheet!
Not scanning bar codes
I love the idea but it is not scanning the bar codes which we have preprinted on our inventory. I can't seem to figure out if it is even trying to.
Wasted $. Finicky. Sporadic.

Don't bother...unless it is free
I was hoping it would at least provide a title of the scanned item. All it does is pull the upc number into a rudimentary database.
Update: I adjusted the wording in the title. Save a couple bucks and search for an app which provides a similar function at a lower price point.

Problem
I bought your app but when I scanned the barcode, the final number of each bar code became '0'
Cannot Handle Data Matrix
I downloaded this in hopes it could scan my data matrix codes for inventory. It did not recognize any of the data matrix codes in my inventory. Waste of money. How do I get a refund?
Inaccurate and a waste of money
I'm not sure why this app has great reviews - I scanned 130+ books. About 12 were accurate. While it was easy to scan and export to excel, what's the point if it can't accurately capture the barcode?
Problem with the latest update
I work as sales and inventory manager for Apple Store and I've been using this app for a while for weekly count, but after the latest update every time I scan an item it won't let me to move to next page, the keyboard keep disappearing from my iPhone iPod, and iPad, need to be fixed very bad update of all time. On the current version it's literally the worst app u can get for your business. Don't west your money until the current version is updated. It will drive you crazy. The worst experience ever, 0 star if possible
Horrible
Wrote a review containing this apps issues but was rejected because of a duplicate nic. Can't waste anymore time because I need to go manually enter data captured with camera into a spreadsheet.
Doesn't scan barcodes
Doesn't scan barcodes at all.
World barcode app
This is the worst barcode app I have used so far. There is a limit on the fields you can create for excel. Would not recommend.
VERY bad scanner
Need to take off market until corrected
Refund please!!!!
Default template keeps coming back. Try to erase it modify it rename. Even new template made default still has fields from the original. One scan puts same bar code in all fields. Can not erase one field and have scan go back to that column and pick up where it made the mistake of auto filing.
Garbage!!!!!
Wow!!! I thought I'd give a shot despite the poor reviews (think that if I could pay $.99 for a game power-up then I could spend $2.99 for something work-related. I tried scanning serial numbers for computers to hopefully save time. Not a single scan was correct. This was a huge waste of time and money; But I'll take the time to tell everyone to save their time and money. DON'T buy this app
You'll get more use out of a game power-up!!!!

Scanner does not work.
What a waste of a great idea. A majority of the time the "scanner" won't even take a picture of the barcode, and when it does the data is incorrect.
Useless
Doesn't read codes properly. Poor interface. Just a complete waste of $3
COULD be great ....
...if it worked as advertised.
Sometimes it will scan the barcode correctly, sometimes it won't scan at all but the vast majority of the time it scans but gives mixed results. I can scan the same barcode multiple times and get a different result each time.
It could be a great app if it worked correctly and reliably.

What the heck is it?
Downloaded it by accident, it's complete garbage, I don't even think it's a legit app, it does nothing and has no options!
Garbage app
This software does not work. I tried multiple times to contact the vendor with not even one response back. I will never purchase another app that has been written or sold by berrywing.
Waste of money
Don't waste your money. I asked pre-sale questions, they NEVER replied. In desperation I bought it, it was pretty much useless. I've been working on computers since 1980 & a top IT support tech so it's NOT end loser error.
Good concept, poor execution.
The tool seems to work well for everything except for actually scanning. Very hard time getting it to scan. When it did scan, it was incorrect about half of the time. I would like to see this one when they get the scanning worked out.
Junk
Do not waste your money. As others have commented the scan function is useless. When I am lucky enough to get it to read a barcode if I read it multiple times I will get multiple results. Totally useless.
Worst app ever!!!!!
I NEVER review apps. This is only my second review and i've had every iphone since inception and have used many apps over the years. Even when they are terrible, I'm just too lazy to take the time to write them. But...... This app sounded GREAT!! It was going to save me hours of work. After scanning over 150 different bottles of wine and entering the quantity of each, I imported it into excel. I was sooo excited, this was the easiest inventory ever!!!! I started doing my calculations, and after a while, i started realizing that some of the bar codes were off. I did check some as I was scanning inventory and they all were fine. But I didn't check every one because it would've made the whole thing pointless anyway. I wasted 5 hours and then had to go back and start again the old fashioned way. Negative 5 stars!!!!!!
No good, did not work.
No stars for this one. Awful how do I get my money back?
Doesn't really work, don't buy it!!!!!
I scan 5 times the same bar code only one time was accurate, actually it were wrong too. 2 bar codes on the box, one was the MAC number and the other was the S/n. only one time read the S/N, when I was pointing to the MAC number. The other 4 times were different numbers. Help button takes you to nowhere. Bad investment.
Email Sharing Option Doesn’t Work
I have used this app since December 2014- PAID for it even. Suddenly, in October of 2022 I cannot share the spreadsheet via email.
I have tried yahoo, gmail, and hotmail. NONE of them will send the file. It shows in the mail application in the sent folder, but it never actually sends the file. Instead, I get undeliverable notifications in my email saying it can’t go through.
I tried emailing support - no reply other than a response saying they got my email and would respond. Now, I’m going to have to find another app because this is terribly inconvenient for me and the business I run. Thanks for the almost decade of use but I have to move on to something that will work and has customer service when I need it.

Bewildering interface
that looks like it is from the 90s. I watched the support video and got it figured out a bit. The scanning worked fine. A couple days later I re-open the app for another look and I am confused again. A bunch of big clunky icons without any text. Why not both? So, probably not useful for what I need it for - transport driverr scanning passengers. Also sent an email and no response.
Needs more features
Would like features to develop pull down menus or click boxes for options that dont necessairly require text entry.
No info
This App would be good if it could also capture the UPC info from the scanned code. Having to type in the info defeats the purpose of scanning.
UPC not full bar codes
This will scan the UPC on stuff like bottled water, but I can't get to scan the barcodes on serial numbers for computers, phones, or other electronic devices for inventory purposes. Therefore, it's basically useless.
Failed when needed
Updated to the recent release - now the app crashes all the time. I haven't been able to get this thing to work YET. Great idea, POOR execution.
Wrong bar codes
This app does everything I was looking for except one thing; actually record the correct bar code when scanning. I scanned something 8 different times and it recorded 8 different bar codes.
