I am trying to find a simple barcode scanner app. However, every app I've tried has problems recognizing the correct barcode when labels have multiple barcodes in proximity. Many products nowadays have multiple barcodes close to each other, and apps have trouble picking the correct one because they are all visible to the camera, so often times, they will automatically select and read the wrong barcode and I have to make multiple attempts to read the correct barcode, or I simply have to block the unwanted barcodes with tape so the app doesn't see them. You can see how this defeats the purpose as I rather write things down by hand.
I would like to find an app that gives me some kind of way to choose the barcode I want to scan on screen, similar to how camera apps allow you to focus the camera lens on different areas of the screen depending where you tap on the live image. The only app I've found that gives somewhat control over which barcode is selected, is the Inventory Scanner 2015. This app will simply read all barcodes and then presents a list of the ones it read, and then you can select the correct one. However, this is the only app, out of many I've tested, that can do this. I would like to review other options. Many apps are just too bloated with unnecessary features, like complicated inventory forms, price/shopping product lookups, require login to cloud services, etc. Don't need any of that stuff. I just want something simple, that scans what I tell it to, read it, and allows me to save the barcodes in a file for export.
Any recommendations appreciated.
