Our Client and His Project Requirements

Based in Ireland, our client owns a successful app publishing firm. He is one of our regular clients for whom we have developed other apps like PDF scanner as well.

He has a passion for new apps and unique solutions for day to day utility problems. He also actively reviews Apple AppStore apps to find out which the most in-demand apps and what do they lack. He found out that QR code and barcode scanning apps are trending.

However, anyone QR barcode scanner app doesn’t have all the functionality and features that a user needs. So, he decided to develop the best and easy to use QR code scanner app to help users find details about products and can read barcodes as well. Another unique feature he required was the function to generate unique QR codes for various content types.

Solution We Provided to Our Client

We comprehended our client’s requirements and started our work. We developed an easy to use and efficient app that people don’t even need to know how to scan QR codes.

This QR code scanner and barcode scanner scans QR codes and barcodes to provide the app users with the needed information. For this, we used Barcode Lookup APIs and gigantic databases sourced from big retailers and e-commerce sites all over the world.

We made sure that the users can also store their scanned QR codes and barcode for future use. Further, they can also create and share their custom QR codes that users generate themselves. These QR codes can be of different colors and content types, as available in the app. The app is available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish languages.

Barcode Scanner

By either scanning barcodes or by typing the barcode number into the app, you will get information about millions of products worldwide. We sourced barcode details from big retailers and e-commerce sites all over the world and created a gigantic database. Every time you scan a barcode or number, details are fetched from this database.

You can store these QR codes and barcodes in folders like Weblinks, Email addresses, Instagram, Whatsapp, Text, MeCards, and so on.

Another feature that we integrated for the user’s ease is Scan History. This feature lets you scan your history according to categories. All the searched results are stored and sorted by categories like Weblink, Texts, Phone Number, or Email Address. You can delete or organize the scan results. Also, put them in folders that you can create for easy storage.

We integrated the feature of App lock into the QR code scanner app as we believe security as our top priority for any app we develop.

Subscription

This QR code/ Barcode reader app comes into versions- free and paid. The free QR app has limited access to features and lets you scan only 3 QR codes a day. You can have the paid version called the PRO version by subscribing with weekly, monthly, and yearly plans. This version unlocks various features like generating unlimited QR codes and Batch scans.

iOS App Development

The client wanted an iOS app only. We assigned two iOS developers with 2+ years of experience for this project. Both the developers dived into research to understand the working of a Barcode and QR code scanning app. They needed libraries that can help look up such codes and provide product information. They used Barcode Lookup APIs for this function.

They also developed a feature to generate QR codes with different foreground and background colors using code libraries in the backend using PHP. The entire development was completed within 4 months with all the features, testing, and deployment of the app.

Appreciation from Clients

Steve

I would like to thank the entire Space-O team for helping us with our photo editing app. We have been working with other developing teams before, and we were able to find Space-O. And all the other developers failed to deliver all great working apps for us. Space-O helped to design the app in a very user-friendly way. They helped us to navigate solutions for the app. And overall went above and beyond with our request.

Olivia Grande

USA

This was the first app I’ve ever developed and they been extremely helpful every step of the way, answering questions, writing recommendations, and tips. If you’re looking for a high-quality app, definitely go with Space-O technologies.

Kaveh

When we started 2 years ago, the main struggle was to find the right developing team, because the problem was we were all quite demanding in terms of quality. And, this showed that we were able to develop some successful apps. But, this would not have been possible without Space-O.

Aamir Jaffar

I hired them for a BA assignment for a project. They did a fantastic job. Quite professional and also good at making the customer understand non technical aspects. Put their mind to think like the customer. A guy named Jaimin was assigned as the work lead and really appreciate his knowledge, understanding customer perspective on the assignment and come up with very valid suggestions. Recommended for mobile app development.

Riccardo Petrachi

We searched online for app developers that had an extensive experience in mobile app development as well as a strong presence in the market. We chose Space-O specifically because of the up-close experience we had with another app they had developed and we wanted to achieve the same high level of standards, quality, and satisfaction. We were looking for brilliant experts and we found them.

Space-O Technologies showed genuine interest in the project. The efficient team delivered quality results at a cost-effective price. We wanted to develop a minimum viable product that would be ready for scalability. It was a great experience working with them. We are so happy that we had the chance to meet Space-O. We love their work. Their project management and structure were amazing. The team loved what they were doing. There was passion behind every single piece of work.

Tom Asare

The app was successfully launched and fulfilled original expectations. The Space-O Technologies team was communicative and effective in completing the project. The app is available in the Google Play store, and we’re thrilled with the final product. They were a highly efficient team to work with. They were strong communicators—whenever I had an issue they were available. Additionally, they were timely in getting deliverables to us.

Nick Power

Eugene, Vlad, Jigar and their respective teams have been fantastic on all the various apps they have worked on and developed for us over the past 18 months. They are always proactive, responsive to questions and consistently provide top quality development and design work. The use of Skype, email and their own project management tool also makes it easy to keep track on how a project is progressing. I would highly recommend Space-O Technologies for any iOS development or design.

Mark

I can't say enough about how great of a partner Space-O has been to work with over the past year. They were always pushing the project forward and ensuring quality checks at every turn, even pieces of my app that I should have caught before sending to development. Will definitely be referring any clients of mine to Space-O and will have them first on my list of partners to work with.
