### 5/5 — perfect

*2025-12-14*

tnsvendhdgggfur

### 5/5 — Love the app but would love updates to Liquid Glass

*2025-12-12, version 1.1.5*

Awesome app and great value for lifetime deal

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2025-10-28*

No problem. No ads. No tracking. It’s just that this one time the app kept crashing for no reason. Like this was a sort of important QR code i really wished i had but i guess maybe the text was too long so the app just crashed multiple times in a row. Other than that, Literally perfect. I just don’t think I can wish for anything more.

### 3/5 — Overall good app, but misses a bunch of features.

*2025-10-15, version 1.1.5*

Qewie has one of the best UIs i’ve seen so far, and allows to generate QR Codes that are not boring.
But, compared to other QR generators (devs, check QRbot and take inspiration), this application misses a lot of fundamental features (like correction levels and color customization of the single elements).
Still, this application has QR stats, redirection and templates, which ar features that some other apps lack.
Overall, Qewie has a lot of potential to become even better. If the devs are interested, i would like to send a list of all the features i think this app should have, because i would like to actively contribute to the developing.

### 1/5 — Schlechte erkennbarkeit

*2025-06-16, version 1.1.5*

Aufgrund des Designs können die iPhones kaum die QR Codes erkennen. Nicht zu empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-04-24*

Not only does this app have a great design and layout, it is a joy to use. Saw this on “Hidden Gems of the App Store” and decided to download. 

There is a payed option, but it’s not too intrusive. There is just enough locked behind it to make me consider paying for it, but not too much to the point that it removes in any way the necessary features of the app.

### 4/5 — Nice app. But dark mode and dark icon are missing

*2025-01-10, version 1.1.5*

Nice app. It’s beautiful interface, easy to use… nice job!

The only thing that I didn’t like is this icon. It’s a little generic for a beautiful interface. If you can update it…

In fact, not just this. I’d like to request dark mode and a dark icon. Plus, if we can add our QR codes to Wallet, it would be cool.

### 5/5 — QEWIE IS AMAZE!

*2024-12-23*

I’m in college and this app is the best tool for my club and Greek life! What a great app.

### 1/5 — $50 QR code generator

*2024-11-17, version 1.1.5*

I think the price is absurd.

### 5/5 — Best QR generator

*2024-11-06*

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!

### 1.1.3 — 2024-10-23

Hello friends of Qewie! We're back with another update. This update addresses some bugs that were sent in, adds a new feature (Templates) and reintroduces improved scrolling.


FIXED
- No more contrast issues — The dynamic color algorithm that powers the Qewie UI has been rewritten from scratch to look great in all permutations. Thank you to all who wrote in! It may not be perfect so please screenshot. If you're interested in how it works, I'll be open-sourcing it on my github later today.
- Logo masks breaking with SVG's — If you exported your QR code as an SVG and it contained a circle logo, it would lose its circle shape on export. This had to be re-written to adjust for how SVG's mask images. It works now!. Thank you, JG who filed this bug with me.
- The "Save to Photos" button in the action sheet was exporting your codes as .jpeg which was causing them to lose transparent backgrounds. They now export as .png. No more white backgrounds.
- Code Types now display in your collection view — Previously, code types were not displaying in the Collection but now they will. You will only see these on codes you save to your collection as of this update.

I try to respond as immediately as possible to bugs send to me on X/Threads and email — So keep sending them! I'll fix it as fast as I can and give you a shout-out. (If you want it)


NEW
- TT and PL wrote in asking for the ability to use previously saved code styles as a template for new codes. Now you can! In your collection view, you should see "Use as Template". Just tap the button and you'll be transitioned to the editor with your previous styling. Logos will not appear as of now but they will in an upcoming release.
- Improved Scrolling — The editor has been rewritten to improve the scrolling experience. Now, when you need to edit your code with options later in the list, you'll still be able to see your code in the preview. 


---

That's all for today - I hope you all continue to enjoy Qewie. Please continue to send me your notes and feedback (hello@qewie.app or @josephpalbanese on Threads/X). If you like the product and want to continue to support it, please consider giving it a review. It goes a long way.

### 1.1.2 — 2024-10-17

Hello friends of Qewie! We're back with another update. I'm really excited about this one. 

Before I get into the details, I want to extend my gratitude to everyone for the support and feedback on the launch of Qewie Pro. It's been just over a week and the responses have all been heartwarming and productive. My goal for Qewie is to provide a best-in-class free experience as well as a premium version that you feel good about supporting. It's going to be a journey! So please keep the comments coming. They're all welcomed.

Now, on to the update. Let's start with what was fixed.

FIXED
- When you opened the gradient color picker, your Qewie would change to the color purple when it appeared. Not fun. This is fixed now.
- Another bug with the gradient color picker — when you released your finger, the color you selected would change its hue ever-so-slightly to a similar but different color. This bug and the one above it were fixed in v1.1.1 but I'm mentioning them again here because I should have explained the issues in more detail and I forgot to shoutout Qewie-supporter @CamTalksTech who notified me on X of the issue. Thank you, Cam!
- If you tried to add a Contact to a Qewie, in some cases, the app would crash. This was due to an issue in how a Contact's URL was being handled. This is fixed and its because JB (@breitero on Github) emailed me and notified me of the issue this morning. Thank you, JB!

I try to respond as immediately as possible to bugs send to me on X/Threads and email — So keep sending them! I'll fix it as fast as I can and give you a shout-out. (If you want it)


NEW
- JB (@breitero on Github) sent me an email (hello@qewie.app) asking for the option to have a Logo's shape be either a circle or a square. It was a good idea and it's now live.
- Related to the above, when you add a Logo you'll notice an updated UI for styling it. The previous one wasn't as scalable for more actions as I'd hoped so I made a new one.


LOCALIZATION
If you're still reading, you've made it to the good stuff. As of today, Qewie is now localized for the following languages (excluding English):

1. German
2. Italian
3. French
4. Spanish
5. Japanese
6. Korean
7. Danish

I've been overjoyed, and genuinely surprised, by the international support for Qewie since launch and I wanted to show my appreciation. For those of you in those locales, my hope is that Qewie will feel more at home and user friendly.

This was a large undertaking but it was worth pursuing. Thank you all again for the support. It means a lot.

I tripled-checked my translations as best I could but should there be something that seems off, you can file a request to update me in Settings. I'll be monitoring this daily.
