Mostly ads to bug & trick you into clicks. Didn’t scan first code tried & I deleted. Must have gotten a ‘5’ by some flakey method. ### 1/5 — Littered with ads *2021-01-19, version 1.4* Ads ads ads. Need I say more? ### 1/5 — So many ads! *2020-12-27, version 1.4* Most obtrusive ads on any app! If it takes more than a few seconds to scan a code... another ad!! And there is no simple way to dismiss some ads besides killing the app. Other reviews are entirely fake ### 2/5 — Não é free *2020-12-12, version 1.4* Deviam ser sinceros quanto a gratuidade! São apenas 3 dias! Não testei ### 1/5 — 0 stars if I could *2020-12-04, version 1.4* Opened the app and was bombarded with ads. Don’t waste your time. ### 5/5 — Muito útil *2020-11-26, version 1.1* Muito útil ### 5/5 — Muito fácil *2020-11-26, version 1.1* Muito fácil ### 5/5 — Fresh chicken *2020-11-26, version 1.1* The service was great and the chicken was fresh! We will definitely be going back!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Endless Ads *2023-01-09, version 1.4* Takes forever to read the w r codes/bar codes - so many ads ! ### 1/5 — Enganação *2022-12-04, version 1.4* Não perca seu tempo! É o qrfavil.me disfarçado ### 1/5 — Cobrança indevida *2022-09-06, version 1.4* Péssimo ### 1/5 — SCAM *2022-01-11, version 1.4* This in NOT free!!!!! ### 1/5 — Junk *2021-07-25, version 1.4* All I wanted to do was scan a couple codes on my phone. I tried 4 -5 times and all it kept doing was sending me advertising trying to get me to load on my iPhone. If these companies are going to do this why don’t they just come out as say up front “ we are going to spam you to death” rather than suggesting it’s a free app with no in app purchases. Google sucks. I am sick of this. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2021-06-13, version 1.4* Avoid, nothing but ads come up ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2021-05-30, version 1.4* Every time you scan a QR an ad pops up. The ad never goes away; I waited. All I get is ads! ### 1/5 — Scam to steal Data DELETE ASAP *2021-04-13, version 1.4* Pretends to scan qr code whilst stealing data and information and accessing personal photographs - tried several times to read QR codes from two different items - Then realised it did not work and is unfit for purpose - Sadly too late before I noticed all my family photo collection was showing inside the app as I deleted it. WARNING - More APPLE COMPLICIT DARA MINING - Apple still pretend they don’t get virus or malware - HA ! What the H is this then? Ever since SJ went, Apple has been overrun with . Gov spyware anyway - CLOGS TO CLOGS IN THREE GENERATIONS - Highly Likely ### 1/5 — Never got the QR result - just ads *2021-03-19, version 1.4* This was a frustrating experience because I needed a QR code read in a bit of a hurry and every single time I scanned the QR code, it just popped up an ad. Tried again, and a different ad popped up. Did that a handful of times before I gave up and deleted it. I’d recommend a different app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as a scanner and made my phone stalk *2021-02-15, version 1.4* There’s something clearly wrong with this app or it’s doing something bad in the background because it doesn’t scan codes and makes my iPhone stall. Instantly deleted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-06-20, version 1.4* Truly excellent. ### 5/5 — THIS IS AMAZING *2021-02-05, version 1.4* This app reads very quickly and I rlly recommend this app!
