Different apps vary in their ease of accessing barcodes.
On my iPhone, I use something called RedLaser to locate the code because
it's good at locating them, then, because that app isn't great at UK codes,
I use DigitEyes to read the info on the product. Sounds longwinded, but
isn't really.
The more expensive option is to use KNFVReader which is pretty good at
reading print on packets.

yes i am not sure of the degree of accessibility thoughts you have to get
the bar code lined up with a marker line for the device to read it properly.

That's far from being a silly question the purpose of a bar code reader can
range from a quick and convenient way to access a web site (scan the bar
code on a product to be directed to the relevant website ) to obtaining
additional information on a package which is stored in bar code or qr code
format to save space, price information is often bar coded into products as
well,
there are probably numerous other uses of bar codes as well but it is only
since the emergence of convenient and reasonably priced scanners that people
have started to see the potential of bar codes .
