Short answers to what most people want to know before downloading. If your question is missing, write to us.
Cost
Does Scan2List cost anything?
No. All features are free and unlimited: any number of photos, codes and lists, export, Inventory mode and documents as PDF. The free version shows ads. More about pricing ›
What is Scan2List Pro?
Pro removes the ads, nothing else. There is no feature that only Pro has. Pro costs €1.99 a month or €9.99 a year, billed through your Apple ID. The App Store shows the price in your currency.
How do I cancel Pro?
In the iPhone settings: your name › Subscriptions › Scan2List › Cancel subscription. Pro stays active until the end of the paid period.
Scanning
What is the difference between the three modes?
In Scan2List mode you photograph barcodes and pass the list on, for example a delivery to the office. In Scan2PDF mode you scan documents, fill them in and share them as a PDF. In Inventory mode you load a list of what should be there first, and after the photos the app shows what is missing. At the bottom of the app you switch between the three modes.
Which barcodes does the app read?
EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, QR code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec. That covers retail, logistics, labels from the generator and tickets. There is nothing to set up.
How many barcodes fit in one photo?
There is no fixed limit. Thirty or forty codes in a photo of a shelf are normal. What matters is that every code is sharp and large enough. For a long shelf, take two photos that overlap a little. Codes detected twice are counted as quantity, which you change with a tap.
What do I do when a code is not detected?
Hold the camera on it in the live scan for a moment, that almost always works for hidden or very small codes. If the app marks a spot as a probable code, tap it and scan it right there. If the label is missing altogether, type the code in by hand. Other causes are in the guide Barcode not scanning.
Does the app work without internet?
Yes. Detection runs on the iPhone, in the basement or at a festival site. The app needs a connection only for ads, updates and buying Pro.
Lists and export
How do I get my list into Excel?
Tap “Share” in the list and choose CSV. Send the file via AirDrop to your Mac, email it to yourself or open it right in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets on the iPhone. The app picks the separator automatically, or you set comma or semicolon. There are also TSV and TXT.
Can I scan first and decide later which list the codes belong to?
Yes. Just start scanning. In the history, select one photo or several afterwards and assign them to a list. Every entry shows whether it is already in a list.
Does the app count quantities?
If a code shows up several times, the app counts it as quantity. If identical packs stand one behind the other and only the front one is visible, tap the item and enter the quantity.
How do I load a list into Inventory mode?
You need a CSV file with a column for the code. Open it on the iPhone and choose “Scan2List” in the share sheet, or tap “Inventory” › “Load a list” in the app. The app recognizes columns like code, quantity and area itself. Ready-made templates and a label generator are under CSV templates.
Documents and PDF
Does Scan2PDF mode cost anything?
No. Scanning, filling in, merging and sharing are free and unlimited, like everything else in the app. More about pricing ›
Can I fill in and sign a scanned form?
Yes. Open the document and tap “Edit”. You can type text, set a cross or a check mark, insert today’s date and sign with your finger. The app remembers your signature for the next form. More on the page about Scan2PDF mode.
Can I merge several scans into one PDF?
Yes. In the list of documents, tap “Select”, mark the documents and tap “Merge”. You set the order and get a new document with all the pages. The single documents are kept.
Can I open a PDF file I already have?
No. The app works with paper you scan and with pictures from your photos. It cannot open PDF files from “Files” or from an email.
Data and device
What happens to my photos and documents?
They stay on the iPhone. Photos, codes, lists and documents are not uploaded, and you do not need an account. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, personalized only with your consent. You can switch off anonymous usage statistics in the settings. Everything else is in the privacy policy.
Which iPhones does the app run on?
Any iPhone with iOS 16 or later.
Which languages is the app available in?
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Vietnamese. The app follows the language of your iPhone.
