NeoReader updated with enhanced scanning and decoding

Published by at

NeoReader 4.4.0 is out now in the Nokia Store and brings 'enhanced scanning and decoding' facilities, along with some slightly misleading social sharing 'features'. Screens and comments below. NeoReader is one of my favourite QR and barcode scanning utilities on Symbian, so it's good to see this being updated still.

The 'Social' tab is misleading though, as it simply offers way to promote the application through your networks, not to actually share a product scan result.

'Share' also pops up on the scan history page, but is only for converting a result into a QR code for on-screen display:

Nice try, guys, but I'm looking for more updates still. I'd like to scan a product and then share its URL or QR code directly to a social network.

NeoReader is free in the Nokia Store.
