Pros and cons of i-nigma QR Code, Data Matrix and 1D barcode reader app for iPhone and iPad

i-nigma QR Code, Data Matrix and 1D barcode reader app good for

Works perfectly, recognizes literally everything instantly. If only the scan sound or app start wouldnt stop the music. But hey.
I use i-nigma since few years. It is an awesome little app. Probably one of the fastest dor QR codes there is. It would be nice to get an update, since the last version is a bit dated. A possibility to copy a link directly from in-app for sharing would be a great feature. Instead one has to share it through message and copy link from there.
Went to the Motorcycle Show, instantly scanned the QR for the exhibit plan, later picked up a Ducati brochure, instant scan to view Ducati videos, etc. Love it so far!
What else is there to say ,scans quickly,easy to use, reads QR & barcodes .I like it. Oh,it also includes a LED flashlight function for the camera flash !
There is a case to be made for apps designed around a single purpose. As a QR code, data matrix, and even bar code reader, it performs as well as could be expected. I first used this app last year on my Windows Mobile phone; naturally, it was my first choice when I switched to iOS. One feature request would be to have an email option for sharing links. Since publishers havent adjusted ther thinking to meet small screen mobile web requirements, I often want to send such links to email so I can view them on a larger screen. Of course, publishers could instead build smarter sites, but as the longevity of and have shown us, there will still be outliers among us. Great app. Edit: I just saw the other request to ask if we want to scan codes from the photo gallery instead of the camera. Yes! That too!
Love it…and great fun as well as useful, but there is room for improvement. The line marking the focus square is not accurate so adjacent codes are sometimes scanned instead. The iPhone is not capable of getting small code images as it goes out of focus as it nears the code…while this is a camera flaw, it might be a good idea to address this somehow, maybe with a zoom/focus option within this app. There needs to be a way to turn OFF the automatic web connect for scanned links. It can be a security risk. You really dont know what site you are getting connected to so you could easily by shunted to a malicious site by accidental or deliberately placed codes. I prefer to read the URL details and then connect if it at least looks legit. Failing that on/off feature, a huge and instantly reacting Panic Disconnect Button might be a partial solution.

Some bad moments

Scans very fast but I am removing because it always redirects through the company server so it tracks everything you scan, which is creepy and unnecessary. Too bad.
Tried over 2 dozen products. EVERY scan ended in "Returned no search results." Useless app is being deleted now.
Scanned nearly 20 codes, not one of them gave a correct result.
Does not scan and when it does wrong product shows up. Dont waste your time downloading.
Unable to get any information on any type of bar code. Used on my iPhone 4s
I found that ANY standard barcode beginning with a 0, is being treated as 2, 0s and therefore no results are found. Fix this and I hope it should work. Iphone4s
