$99 for something as simple as creating a barcode, ouch!
Curious that the app creation and mod dates are both Oct. 5 - four months ago.
Bar code printing is not simple. The GS1 standard (UPC, GS1 128, GS1-DataBar GS1 DataMatrix calls for a a ISO grade C or above for barcode, which involves x dimension, edge reflectance etc.
Most retailers grocers distributors and now hospitals require in their contracts that their suppliers follow the GS1 standard in their barcodes. If the barcodes do not scan at checkout or bedside then a not so friendly conversation occurrs between the supplier and the user about breach of contract and consideration.
