Pros and cons of Barcode Scanner FREE app for iPhone and iPad

Barcode Scanner FREE app good for

Fast and would scan codes no other app would like R*dLazer (sic)
I tried them all. This is the best. It actually find what you scan.
Whereas a lot of scan apps only look for an URL that goes with the barcode, this one lets you google it too if youre trying to look for it in other places to price compare and such. Quite convenient.
This really is a great app, It works fast, and its free. One of the best Bar code scanner Apps
Scan Code 128, Code 39 and UPC-A - even 12 digits long wish it could turn on the LED light though

Some bad moments

It immediately turns on the flash on my iPhone 5, with no way to turn it off. Takes a long time for the camera to auto-adjust as a result. Doesnt give you a center-line so if you have lots of barcodes nearby, it will grab the wrong one. Frustrating overall.
This application is far more studious about displaying ads then actually detecting with or decoding barcodes. There are many decoding apps out there. Pick a different one.
Reads standard bar codes unlike most of the other scanners in the app store. Simple to use. I love this app.
I cant find how to capture the barcode image once it sees it. So you just sit there looking at the device through your phone screen looking like an idiot. There is no red bar, no button, no NOTHING. 2 minutes later Im still sitting there looking at a focused barcode through my phone screen. Waste of time.
