Blippo

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?
No. Blippo has no login and no backend server — you can start scanning the moment you open the app.
What can Blippo scan?
Barcodes and QR codes. Scanning a barcode looks up product information via Open Food Facts; QR codes are decoded entirely on your device.
What kinds of QR codes can I create?
Links, plain text, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, Zoom, Wi-Fi, contact cards (vCard), and calendar events — the My Codes tab has a dedicated form for each, and keeps them saved on your device.
What's batch scan?
A mode that keeps the camera live so you can scan several codes back to back, instead of stopping at a result screen after each one.
Where is my scan history stored?
Locally on your device only, capped at your most recent 100 scans. You can search it, filter by type, and organize entries into folders — nothing is uploaded to us.
Can I lock the app?
Yes — turn on App Lock in Settings to require Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode before the app opens. This is handled entirely by your device's own operating system.
Does Blippo show ads?
Yes, banner and interstitial ads through Google AdMob. Where required by law, you'll see a consent form to control whether ads are personalized.
Does Blippo collect analytics?
We use PostHog to see how the app is used in aggregate — things like which settings get changed or how often scans succeed — but never the actual barcode, QR content, or product names. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
What languages does Blippo support?
English, Turkish, Polish, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
How do I delete my data?
Since everything lives on your device, clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it removes all of it — there's no separate account to delete.
