Manual entry of barcode
Sometimes a barcode might be crumpled or torn, such that the barcode scanner is not able to read it. In such circumstances it would be really good to be able to enter the barcode manually by typing in the numbers.
We have improved the overall performance of the scanner both on iOS and Android:
- faster scanning
- option to switch the flash on/off in the scanner window
- if the scanner is unable to recognize a code you can now manually enter the code!
- as requested by many the barcode beeping sound is now history :)

Definitely agree! There are a number of barcodes, especially those on clear bottles, which don’t scan. A system similar to that used by MyFitnessPal would be excellent.
