User reviews

Great for safety and peace of mind

QR codes are everywhere, and it’s nice to have a separate app for scanning and checking links before blindly clicking on everything. This app goes WAY beyond the standard security checks built into phones and browsers these days. And I appreciate that NONE of the data is stored or can be used against me. It’s like a test strip for the web.

These days, it’s common to find bad links and dangerous sites and downloads. Trusting a QR code is like eating something you found on the ground.
