Device Requirements and Data Policies
Compatible Devices:
For iOS and Android, you can use the built-in camera for scanning barcodes or use a scanning accessory. Generally, the rear autofocus camera is used but the front camera can be used for some applications (e.g. kiosk mode). [If you are thinking of buying an old device you can email our support team to confirm if it is still supported.] The version to use in the field is the Production iOS app. [There’s also an Admin Edition for administrators to test new app features before they are pushed live to the Production app. You will be notified if you should use that version to test.] Note: Future updates to the codeREADr app may not support older iOS or Android OS versions. You will not be able to newly install the app to those devices unless you update the OS of the device. If you cannot update the OS, generally you can continue using pre-installed apps but not install the latest version.
Data Requirements
Using the codeREADr app does not require a cellular data plan. You can use the app on a Wi-Fi and 3G/4G/LTE cellular networks. For scanning directly to your own server within a local network, please refer to our Direct Scan to URL (DSU) option.
