FAQ – Coupon Decoder

– Help, the application won’t scan my coupon!

  1. See the app in action!
  2. Make sure you have a supported device with auto-focus camera.  iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, and “the new” iPad (released early 2012) are supported.  iPhone 3, iPad 1, iPad 2, and all iPod Touch do NOT have auto-focus camera.
  3. Make sure you select the right barcode type to scan.  The scan page has both a sample picture and verbal description.
  4. Hold the camera about 3 to 4 inches away from the coupon.
  5. Wait for the camera to focus!  Depending on the lighting condition, some times the auto-focus camera takes couple seconds to focus.  Do not keep moving the distance between the camera and the coupon.

– How do I scan really wide barcode?

You can rotate your iPhone or iPad to in the landscape orientation while scanning the barcode.  You can also just turn the wide barcode 90 degrees.
