Well we’ll see. ### 5/5 — Camera *2024-07-19, version 7.3* Good ### 3/5 — Anthony *2024-07-19, version 7.3* I don’t even have to focus for this app to read it, fast & effective. Great app ### 3/5 — Not often. *2024-06-19, version 7.1* So I am just here hoping that this QR code maker app will allow me to make QR codes for various personal things so I’m hoping this will be free. And I’ve only made one QR code so far, so not really sure why they want me to give them a review yet normally reviews would come after using the service for a certain amount of time which I haven’t done yet. Maybe I’ll update this later so I’ll give them three stars to begin. And allow them room for improvement. Still hoping that what I’ll be using this for is free. ### 2/5 — Gut, aber zu teuer *2024-05-12* Ich würde dieses Programm tatsächlich kaufen, aber auf keinen Fall für eine monatliche Gebühr von knapp 5,50 €. Wenn ich das Programm zehn Jahre auf meinem Smartphone habe, zahle ich knapp 660 €. Und so gut ist diese App nun wirklich nicht 😕 ### 5/5 — Ultraximaging *2024-05-04, version 7.1* Karen Patterson RT was so kind and professional coming to our home to X-ray my husband. What a great service! ### 3/5 — QR CODE *2024-04-07, version 6.8* Not the best but helpful for QR codes ### 3/5 — Nice app *2024-04-03, version 6.8* 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Satisfied *2024-03-31* Ai is there now ### 4/5 — It’s cool *2024-01-28* 👍👍 ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-01-27, version 6.5* It’s great ### 4/5 — Good *2024-01-21, version 6.5* Good app ### 3/5 — Seems okay *2024-01-17, version 6.5* Nothing special but works ### 5/5 — Dope *2024-01-17, version 6.5* Really love it ### 5/5 — POLINKIS *2024-01-09* It’s OK ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App will not focus *2025-05-28, version 10.6* Didn’t even get to try this before they are asking for a subscription. I passed over those screens to give it a go and could not get the camera to focus on a QR code. But it will save you a nice, out of focus picture of a QR code. Tried several and got the same results. And you want me to pay for this abominable service??! Really? Go ahead and tell me I don’t know how to use my phone’s camera. Good grief! ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-03-29, version 10.2* Wouldnt generate any code ### 1/5 — Gnthnjtyh *2023-09-23, version 5.6* Ghnghnghn ### 1/5 — Have to buy premium *2023-09-01, version 5.4* In Order for the application to work you have to spend $4.99 per month. What a ripoff ### 1/5 — Keeps asking for money *2023-08-31, version 5.4* Trying to use app but it only shows ad trying to sell me pro version ### 1/5 — It’s the printer *2023-05-01, version 4.9* I hate it…a waste of money. Can’t get anything to work TR8620 Canon. Toss it ### 1/5 — Sometimes it read, sometimes it doesn’t *2023-02-13, version 4.7* I just tried to cancel my three day trial. No place to do that. I’m certainly hoping that I don’t get charged for it. Anybody reading this knows how to do it. Please tell me in the comment section the scanner doesn’t work very well. It took me eight tries twice and then on another scan it wouldn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-09-27, version 4.4* Do not want nor need all the crap you hang on the app. Most people just want to scan and nothing else. Then on top of that, they want $5 a month to use it. No f ing way dude. It not worth me taking the time to even write this review. ### 1/5 — Garbage ‘free’ QR code app *2022-08-21, version 4.4* I got this to try to see if it would work for what I wanted. I tried creating 3 QR codes, which didn’t work the way I wanted and now it won’t let me create any more without a monthly subscription. I’m not trying anything ‘premium’, just creating a code from a list of text. But it now won’t let me. Garbage. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Ffs £4.99 to use a we reader *2022-07-09, version 4.4* Having a laugh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rory *2026-05-22, version 11.1* Best thing ever and I even got my sister to try it so you should buy it ### 5/5 — K bc as eh my *2025-11-21, version 11* M m z D m CD s ### 5/5 — Review *2025-06-15, version 10.7* 1st ### 5/5 — Microsoft *2025-06-08, version 10.7* Me ### 5/5 — Great *2025-06-01, version 10.6* Great ### 5/5 — OR Code reader *2025-02-26, version 9.5* Love it ### 5/5 — Wow! Just wow!!!! *2025-01-28, version 9.2* So so so so good ### 5/5 — Us Shein credit *2024-12-22, version 8.8* $500 ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-10-11, version 8.0* I love this app because it can send QR codes to other people by just putting in their phone number!When you take a picture of something, you can turn it into a QR code and that’s awesome. I love this app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-23, version 7.6* I made a happy birthday thing for my friend it was fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
