Does anyone know why i have to pay to use the barcode feature. But everyone i know who uses the app had this feature without paying? Its so much easier but i really don't wanna pay anymore when I know others are getting the same thing for free 😂

Quite a while back, maybe a year, MFP removed the barcode scanner from the free versions in the US. I've heard, but can't confirm, that it remains free in many other countries.1
