### 1/5 — Doesn't Work MacBook Pro, Ventura

*2023-08-29*

Doesnt' work at all.  When you try to scan a code, the camera doesn't come on and you just get some dummy QR code.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing and we would love to help you resolve the issue. Just drop us an email at support@2stable.com, and our team will assist you promptly.

### 5/5 — This is THE greatest QR app I've ever seen

*2023-08-10*

I've been looking for this kind app for a long time! You can scan codes on your screen! You don't need to show your code to the built-in camera, you don't need to save codes first and then import them. (I mean, you can do that if you want, of course, but that's not what I was looking for.) You just open the app and BOOM! it was so quick that I have to double check if it was scanned corectly. And the design also! simple and perfect. I totally recommend this app!!

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your positive experience with our app. We are thrilled to know that we're heading in the right direction and that you're enjoying our app! 🙌

### 5/5 — Best QR scanner for mac!

*2023-07-06*

This is by far the best QR code reader for a mac, Unlike other free programs, it can read from the camera, your screen, or a file/ picture. No ads, no purchases.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your positive experience with our app. We are thrilled to know that we're heading in the right direction and that you're enjoying our app! 🙌

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-06-10*

After giving the app access to the camera, it wouldn't engage with a QR code. Instead, it wou;d just detect nonsense and direct me to "http://" which is nonsense.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing and we would love to help you resolve the issue. Just drop us an email at support@2stable.com, and our team will assist you promptly.

### 5/5 — Seems to be exactly what I wanted

*2023-04-28*

I’m attending a convention event pretty soon but the QR code ticket that I received didn’t have an option to add to Apple Wallet. After looking around on Reddit for a bit I found someone who made this app and it seems to do exactly what I needed. Scan a QR code and turn it into a pass for Apple Wallet. Super simple, straightforward and no adds. There’s some weird notification pops (in-app, I turned notifications permission for app off) which I presume are links to other apps the dev made (or maybe it’s their way of making some money). Either way they’re unobtrusive enough that I’m comfortable with continuing to use this app.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your positive experience with our app. We are thrilled to know that we're heading in the right direction and that you're enjoying our app! 🙌
