$50 QR code generator

I think the price is absurd.

Best QR generator

I’ve looked through every QR generator on the App Store and online, this is by far the best. I use these every week for my small business. Thank you!

Cannot scan

Generated QR codes look nice but their design cannot be scanned.

Looks Good. Overpriced.

I downloaded this app after reading about it on 9To5Mac. It looks pretty but it has a subscription or a very high price (for what it does). There are plenty of free tools to get the job done and most people don’t care what color their QR codes are (although the free tools have this option).

The price is an insult to customer intelligence.

On top of that the “free” version is useless. QR codes can’t be saved. So it’s basically an ad.

fun ≠ value

Interesting app with stellar ui but.. the app is extremely limited without the pro version which is £20 lifetime, while for a business or creator that is good value. A general consumer having features like wifi, location and contact cards paywalled does not justify the expense, an app like this for my personal I would maybe spent a few pounds on for lifetime. Locking a custom logo or a link shorter service behind a paywall would make a lot of sense but not basic local qr code features. Hope to see this change.

Response from developer

Hi Theo, Thank you for this feedback. The app is still relatively new and I'm working through what the proper balance between pro and free should be. I admit, I did not get everything right on the first go. Within the next month, I expect to introduce more Pro and Free features and as the app becomes more complete I hope to provide a better balance that seems fair to all. Thank you for giving the app a try. Hope to exceed your expectations if you give it another go in the future. If you have any other thoughts or feedback, you can write me an email hello@qewie.app

A sad end to something promising.

Followed the development on the socials. Sad to see the developer went for the subscription money grab. Such a waste.

Response from developer

Hi Dogcow, Developer here — Thank you for the fair and honest feedback. In earnest, my intent with pricing was not a money grab but I understand that it may have come off that way and for that I humbly apologize. When I researched how to price the product, I looked at all of the other QR code generators in the store and landed at a benchmark that was comparable to others. I felt that the free version far exceeded all of the other products and that appropriate "pro" features for businesses would be well worth the lifetime price. Your comment makes it clear that I didn't get it right and I'm sorry you had a poor experience. You may never give Qewie another try, and I understand why, but I hope you take my words above as sincere and genuine. It was never my intent to displease the users of Qewie. I'm still just figuring everything out. Have a great rest of your day. If you have any other thoughts or feedback, you can write me an email hello@qewie.app

Free no more!

This was brilliant and I had from day one but now it’s got a pay wall. It’s a real shame when developers do this. Be honest up front and offer some options and a subscription or how ever but giving it all free then as it gains momentum and it gets publicity through tech sites you then bang on a paywall. Shame and another money grab. I would’ve paid no problem if you were honest upfront. Paying £3.99 monthly for WiFi etc QR codes is greedy. The prices listed in your IAP description are different than the app version. There is no £1.99 monthly or lifetime £19.99. It’s double the amount in your app? Please correct.

Response from developer

Hi Bennlloyd, Thank you for the honest and direct feedback. I'm sorry that your experience ended so poorly. When pricing the product, I was steadfast that all of the existing features in the free version should remain free (As well as not having ads, tracking, or expired codes). When I introduced introduced a paid model, my intent was to keep it isolated to "pro" features that make sense for businesses like adding a logo, different QR code types, specific colors, and new export options. I didn't get it right and for that I apologize. I'm a solo-developer just trying to provide a living for myself and my family. I'll learn from your comment and do better. As for the IAP, I'm looking into why that is showing up. I apologize for the confusion. Have a great day. If you have any other thoughts or feedback, you can write me an email hello@qewie.app

Good, but expensive

It’s a nice simple app, but with this little features now the extra in app purchase for $5 per month or $50 lifetime feel like a scam…

Loving it!

Stunning product! I love the actual options, but it keeps getting better! It brings us a fast, easy, efficient, and aesthetic tool for QR codes creation!

It’s so beautiful!

It’s simple, elegant, and straight to the point. Love this app!
