I don’t appreciate trying to sell me the other scanner & I can’t use the scanner I have. This is the wrong way to try to sell a different one. Kind of makes me wonder if you are a reputable business. Telephone apps are full of dishonest est people. ### 1/5 — This is bad *2024-08-31, version 1.1* It doesn’t work at all ### 2/5 — Useless *2024-08-06, version 1.1* Does not scan a QR code unless you pay for a subscription.
