We currently have native apps for Android, iOS and Ubuntu Touch.

We also have an HTML-based app for other mobile OSes based on Cordova and PhoneGap. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features.

Phonegap - Android, iOS, Windows Phone (deprecated)

The application is mainly dedicated to the collection of products: bar code scanning , sending photos, input basic information.

The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova). It is packaged for Android and iOS and used to be packaged with the Moodstock scanner. It now needs the BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin instead.
