### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-09-09*

This is why people won’t pay for apps. Won’t scan a qr code with my front camera so pretty useless and £2.00 for nothing - in fact more because I probably wasted about half an hour of my time as well.

### 5/5 — Thanks Chris

*2021-11-19*

Lifesaver for iPhones with broken cameras

### 5/5 — Thanks for this app!

*2021-08-15*

This app is a godsend for those with a broken camera module. Apple doesn’t allow for scanning QR code’s on the selfie camera but this app does. It isn’t perfect - given the lack of focus on the front camera, QR codes need to be big and low detailed, without reflections… that's not the apps fault though. Perfect for covid safe check ins. Thank you!
