This option will store the scanned inventory on your iPhone so that you can take your inventory anywhere.

- LOOKUP
This option will look up the scanned barcode in the inventory list and display the details already stored. When this is switched off, you will be prompted to update a barcode that already exists in the inventory.

- SCAN
The barcoding scanning can be turned off if you choose to use this as an inventory system without barcoding.

Latest reviews of Barcode Inventory app for iPhone and iPad

Piece of crap
Being one of the more expensive apps I figured this would be solid. Wrong. What a waste of money. Crashes all the time and constantly resets the database to default settings. Useless.
Needs work
Scanning is adequate but lacks continuous scan mode Lacks auto-increment count field and the incrementation buttons it does have are minuscule and poorly situated on interface. Dialog boxes pop up while scanning an item already in inventory, interrupting what should be a fluid process. Importing inventory(x).csv file fails miserably with an obscure error message that offers no clue as to why. File names are hard-coded into app and may or may not actually co-respond to the three available inventory lists in app... confusing! Uses iTunes to transfer inventory files instead of iCloud. Exacerbating user experience.
Very limited! Очень ограниченно!
It is absolutely not worth its value. The functionality is very limited, search engine is not flexible (barcode numbers only). Very poor interface, school-level design. Не стоит своих денег абсолютно. Очень ограниченный функционал, поиск не гибкий (только по номерам штрих-кодов). Очень примитивный интерфейс, дизайн школьного уровня.
Dont waste your money
Crashes, will not import from csv, and support will not respond. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
Terrible
You cannot modify an item entry once its scanned. You cant add arbitrary properties, you only have a few sections to place sets of inventory. The user interface is abysmal and in need of a serious ux overhaul. Save your money. There are free apps that provide a significantly better experience.
