Description
From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.
barValid is an app with the aim of scanning and checking barcodes (even QR Code and DataMatrix) or to send the barcode to your PC. The barcodes can not only be tested for conformity according to GS1 standards (correct field lengths, etc.), but
you can even set up your own specific specifications (for example AI01-GTIN must be included).
The result can be enriched with additional Information (like photos) and saved as PDF on the smartphone or shared via social networks.
