### 5/5 — QR code

I love this app!

### 5/5 — Best scanner

*2016-11-24, version 1.1*

This is the best scanning app so far, it's my top pick because most other apps wouldn't scan the code sticker cuz the size of or was to small and none of the other scanning/coding apps I've tried could focus enough to be able to scan but this app!! No problems easy breezy- love it

### 2/5 — Nope

*2016-08-23*

Once you create the QR code the 'open in' and 'share' buttons don't work. What's the point?

### 3/5 — Works fast but needs work

*2016-06-28*

Doesn't read the image of QR code created by itself. Why?

*2026-01-07*

iPhone 17 Pro Max uses the wrong camera will not focus on QR codes

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-18*

Every time I scan, it takes me to a blank screen that says Home at the top,  that just takes me back

### 1/5 — Fake

Nothing else it is horrible

### 1/5 — Install but failed to scan useless, don’t bother

*2019-03-18, version 1.7*

Installed and tried to scan , it say place code within frame then nothing!

### 1/5 — Porcaria

*2017-09-10*

Não cria, apenas propagandas inconvenientes!

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2016-04-14*

I couldn't get it to do anything but manual creation, which seemed to be the only mode that worked.  
In any other type mode- as soon as I selected a  "type"  the app closed when I opened contacts. 
I don't see any way to delete the QR test code I made. 
The manual create mode should have option to include photo. 
The FAQs link goes nowhere. 
This app has HUGE potential. I'll check back later for "bug fixes" before deleting it completely.

### 2/5 — Constant App cashes

*2022-06-30, version 3.2*

This app let me generate one code then kept crashing.

### 2/5 — В топку

*2021-08-04*

И какая польза от того что она распознаёт цифры на штрих-коде? Больше никакой информации не выдаёт . В топку.
