Why this made the cut
What it does
QR & Barcode Scanner Launcher combines a QR and barcode scanner with a replacement home screen. Its main purpose is quick access: swipe right from the home screen to open the scanner instead of searching through the app drawer. It suits people who scan codes regularly and prefer that tool to stay close at hand.
Scanning tools
The app can keep a history of previous scans and copy scanned content to the clipboard, making it easier to use a result in another app. Scan confirmation can use vibration or an audio beep. These options are useful when the screen is difficult to check immediately after a scan.
Launcher features
Using the scanner also means changing how the phone’s home screen works. The launcher includes widgets, themed wallpapers and search access powered by Yahoo. Search is available from more than one point in the launcher, so the app is designed as a broader home-screen environment rather than a scanner that only opens on demand.
Who it suits
This is a focused choice for users who want scanning built into their everyday navigation. It may be less suitable if you only scan occasionally or do not want to replace the existing home screen layout. Developed by AtomApplications, the app has a 4.27 rating from 30,203 reviews and more than 5,000,000 installs.
