Looking for an Android Boarding Pass Reader
 

Have been uploading my images to Barcode Decoding Software, but am looking for an Android app. Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

I asked on an Android forum several months ago and got nowhere... :(

(except one guy who suggested that I contact Skynet to see if they have anything :mad: )

"Barcode Scanner+" (paid) is supposed to be able to read at least some PDF417 barcodes - the 2D ones that are showing up on more boarding passes. I've also occasionally been able to get ScanLife (free) to read smaller ones, but it has too small a window for the more rectangular ones.

Bumping this... I have tried ScanLife plus most of the free ones on Play store and none of them seem to work.

Are you searching the Play store for PDF417 readers?

I seem to recall having one on my Nexus One but don't remember what it was.

Thanks! I found one called "PDF417 Barcode Scan Demo App" and works great. It's called a demo app but I think it's non-free only if you want to use their scanning code.

There's a TSA pre-check thread in the UA forum with links to a couple of android readers

The Aztec reader works for me.

I use "barcode scanner" and it works pretty good for me (Just a few force-closes every now and then).

If you do download it, you'll need to go into the app's settings and select "PDF417" to ensure it reads the boarding pass correctly.

I use "Barcode Scanners" which I find to work very well.

Out of curiosity, is this to check for PreCheck or for something else?

This is also mentioned on the UA thread listed above as "Manatee." I'd recommend going into settings and making sure everything is checked, and that hi-res scans are enabled (unless you have a really old device). This app works better than any android barcode scanner app I've ever used, not just for BP's, but in general.
