### 1/5 — Falso

*2026-06-29, version 4.8.0*

Es pura mentira no la descarguen

### 1/5 — キャンセルや最低定額プラン

*2026-06-12*

アプリ内でキャンセルの仕方わからない方や、800円の最低定額プランが表示されない不親切さが低評価の理由。

### 1/5 — Decepcionada

*2026-06-07, version 4.7.9*

Entré a esta aplicación por error, solo quería un app para editar las fotos y esta es para leer código, nada que ver con lo que yo buscaba. La estaba cancelando pero cuando te preguntara si quieres cancelas la app tú le dejas esa opción y te lleva a la opción de diferentes planes y está ubicada en un plan de un año y no te deja salir de ahí. Te acorralan para que tengas que pagar para poder salir de ahí. Necesito la devolución de mi dinero.

### 1/5 — This thing doesn’t work

*2026-06-05, version 4.7.9*

I can’t get the QR to scan, charging me to control the lights is a scam. They should’ve disclosed that before purchasing

### 1/5 — I didn’t not wanna purchase this app

*2026-06-04, version 4.7.9*

-5 stars

### 1/5 — なんだこれ

*2026-05-30*

画面上にアプリは無く、ダウンロードした記憶もQR作成もした記憶も無く（調べたら自身の情報をQR化出来るもの？必要無いのよ使うことがない）、１週間で1800円が毎週徴収され続けAppleに返金の申請はしたが納得いかん。使った記憶がまず無い。iOS26以降の罠なのか？何のために必要な物なのかもわからんものに10,000円近く搾取された。自らの意思で購入し、高い料金を払い使っている人がいるのに疑問。
デベロッパーの回答見る限り、使用者の問題であって作り手側の配慮や誤解がないように、間違えてサブスク申し込みしないように、など努力する気配が微塵もとれない。
間違えたのはあなた。
返金はAppleにお任せ
最低ですな。
追記
Appleに返金をお願いしましょう。
諦めなければ大丈夫。

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription

*2026-05-29, version 4.7.9*

I can’t move around in app and tried to cancel subscription and that won’t update please email me

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-05-25, version 4.7.9*

Have no idea how to set up the camera because the directions are small to read never could find the + sign it said to tap on to add a camera. Can’t unsubscribe either and to many pop up ads to make you buy buy buy.

### 1/5 — Inop

*2026-05-24, version 4.7.9*

Not working.

### 1/5 — Misleading Subscription Cancellation Process

*2026-05-23*

I found this app unhelpful, and canceling the subscription was unnecessarily difficult. The app only provided options to change the subscription plan instead of canceling it entirely. In the end, I had to cancel the subscription through my Apple device settings. I would not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — No detail on my product

*2026-05-21, version 4.7.9*

When I scared the bar code, alk it told me us information about the product which was exactly what was in the box.  I was referred here to find out if the product had an expiration date or when it was made but this app did not provide that information.  Useless.

### 2/5 — No

*2026-05-19, version 4.7.9*

Doesn’t even work says unknown for every product I try to scan and you have to pay after 4 “scans”

### 1/5 — Cancel anytime? Haha!

*2026-08-09, version 4.8.2*

When you click on cancel it just takes you to the same page as the change subscription button.  I can’t find a way to actually cancel it.  It clearly says you can cancel anytime…..

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-08-04, version 4.8.2*

It’s forcing me to subscribe

### 1/5 — Junk—as in J. U. N. K.

*2026-08-01, version 4.8.2*

If this app actually does work then it has a pretty strange way of showing it. The two barcodes I « scanned » resulted in ZERO. Of course, the app doesn’t offer much help in how to remedy such issues, no doubt because it’s too busy bombarding you with ads for, um… other scanner apps. 
My advice: AVOID THIS ONE LIKE THE PLAGUE (unless you enjoy being  scammed instead of scanned!).

### 1/5 — Customer service Contact

*2026-07-22, version 4.8.2*

I need a contact number to speak to a live person from this company.

### 1/5 — Impossible to unsubscribe

*2026-07-21, version 4.8.2*

Didn’t appear to scan a standard airline luggage check barcode. 
The process for unsubscribing from the free trial just takes you to options for longer chargeable subscriptions. This could be a scam to drive unwanted subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-20, version 4.8.2*

This app doesn’t do anything it’s suppose to do. It doesn’t even allow you to cancel subscription. The app doesn’t help with the drone set up. Features are not the same as the tutorial video.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2026-07-19, version 4.8.2*

Will be returning due to substriction

### 1/5 — Sam

*2026-07-17, version 4.8.2*

Does not read all barcodes. Can not cancel through app.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-14, version 4.8.2*

Can’t cancel

### 1/5 — AVOID APP

*2026-07-06, version 4.8.1*

Avoid this app. None of the advertised features actually work. The scanner can’t focus on or recognize QR codes, even when they’re large, clear, and well-lit. Importing QR codes from photos doesn’t work either.

To make matters worse, the app appears to make canceling your subscription unnecessarily difficult. The “Change Plan” screen works perfectly, but when you tap “Cancel Subscription,” it just takes you back to the same Change Plan page with no way to actually cancel. It feels like you’re forced to subscribe without being given a functional way to stop the subscription.

Save yourself the frustration and choose a different QR code app.
