I’m not sure why you would need to scan twice. I didn’t experience that. You’ll need to do some debugging to figure out if the problem is with the `scan barcode` block or something else. I use this method: [Debugging in Thunkable X (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/debugging-in-thunkable-x-video/849471).

I don’t understand what you are asking. Do you want the data source to be cloud-based or local on each device?
