Updating my rating from 1 to 4 stars as the software itself does a decent job. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I paid for a perpetual licence for version 2 in the App store about a year ago and I use it about once a month. I came to re-install it today on my new Mac and version 2 is no longer available in the app store. When I "restore purchases" with version 3, it tells me there are no purchases to restore. The only option seems to be pay again for version 3 (which is pretty pricey) so I am opting to purchase a different QR code generator from a more trustworthy vendor. ### 2/5 — Bad UI and adherence to standards. Can’t quit. *2024-11-30* I bought the program, used it for a while, and had good experience. But I decided to end the subscription. When I tried to delete the program, they have prevented and remapped the command-Q to force their advertising and subscription. Bad form…horrible experience at the end. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for. *2024-04-17* Perfect application for QR codes. Easy to navigate and use. Only thing I would like to see is the website address field in contact information. That would be awesome. ### 3/5 — Cant Preview Without Paying *2024-04-13* I'm starting a food company and I have a MASSIVE book and item colloection I need to make barcodes for. This app looks great, but I dislike the fact that you can't seem to test the app without agreeing to a minume 3 months at $4.99 after 7 days. I would much rather be able to test the app for 7 days and then they lock the app until you sign up or somthing. The main reason I get enough junk emails about promos for apps I've shown no intrest in and will never buy or use. (I uninstalled without testing.) ### 3/5 — NEED UPDATE *2024-04-10* You guys need to update the font of the code, moore font for the codes. C'moooooooon. ### 5/5 — Contact with Developer! *2024-02-29, version 3.3.9* I had an idea to create a QR contact code with the information of ANOTHER PERSON that I could put on the back of my phone. The idea was that if someone found my phone, they'd scan the info and contact that person to let them know they had my phone (because, DUH, if they had my info, I wouldn't get the call!). So I wanted the NOTE to be super clear that this was MY phone and the contact info was someone else. Additionally, I wanted the NOTE to have line breaks... and wasn't able to figure out how to do it. I reached out to the developer (Matt) and he got back to me quickly and told me how to do it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP and KUDOS to Matt for being on top of his customer requests/communication! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2024-02-09* I purchased this app recently to help me generate bulk qr codes for a client. The capabilities are fantastic and reliable. For bulk codes there's a slight learning curve, but honestly very slight. Today I tried the brand new AI feature just for fun. The ChatGPT plugin works very well and I can see how it will streamline creation of codes for me in the future. ### 3/5 — Unless you need batch processing, not worth the price *2023-11-30* I appreciate the local-only processing for security, but there are free QR creation apps available in the Mac App Store with much broader visual stylisation options that also process locally (and offer Shortcuts actions!). Unless you need built-in batch processing (which I haven't tested and cannot comment on), I don't think this is worth it. Not even on sale. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing our local processing feature. While there are free alternatives, QR Factory 3 offers a suite of unique capabilities tailored for diverse needs. Beyond batch processing, we support both RGB and CMYK color models with both bitmap and vector export options. It's available for both Mac & iPad, offers a variety of built-in types (Calendar, Person, Location, Social Media with icons, and many more), and also ensures the integrity of the QR codes with auto verification and auto reliability level. Customization is key in QR Factory 3; from adding text under codes, adjusting borders, to zero-gap center icons - the level of detail in customization is extensive. In addition, our support for printing to Avery, DYMO and custom sized labels makes physical distribution of QR codes practical and straightforward. We are committed to constant updates and improvements, ensuring QR Factory 3 remains a versatile and powerful tool for our users. We hope that you'll reconsider and give it a try in the future. ### 5/5 — exelente producto *2023-11-02, version 3.3.7* lo recomiebdo ### 3/5 — No se pueden cambiar los pixeles de forma *2023-09-21* Solo se puede cambiar el pixel a forma redondeada, y tampoco se pueden cambiar los ojos del QR. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tried free version once, then deleted *2026-02-04, version 3.4.8* This app seems to draw out polarizing feedback and count me on the ultra negative side. Was just looking for a simple, free, basic QR generator to create a single QR code, not bulk generation. What I got for free was a QR code that opens not to the URL I specified, but to a “splash page” advertising this app with a link to the URL I desired. Sorry, that’s not the definition of “free”. ### 1/5 — Bad Model *2025-11-29, version 3.4.8* Look, I don’t mind paying a developer 0.99 or even 2.99 or 3.99 for a really useful app that is nice to work with, but SUBSCRIBING to a QR Generator is silly and borderline offensive. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-05-19, version 3.4.6* No free version. Just try to start a paid tier version. ### 1/5 — low capacity *2025-02-22, version 3.4.4* Had an academic poster bibliography to do. QR generator could not handle 7 pages of text. Broke it down to 2 documents and QR code reader still could not handle. It only worked for another section which was a few sentences long. ### 1/5 — Misleading Purchase Process *2024-10-21* On the purchase process screen, it stated that a 7-day free trial was included. However, I was charged immediately, even though I hadn't decided if I wanted the product. Additionally, the product isn't integrating the logo well, and I no longer want it. My question now is, how do I get a refund? ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-07-17* I installed this app on my Macbook Pro. Went through the intro setup to the page where it FORCES you to sign up for a purchased subscription (I thought it was free). Now it won't let me shut down the app or remove the it even though I've tried every way possible. Can't even shut down my Macbook because the app is open. Maybe this is a good app for the people who are paying for a monthly subscription, but it's a HUGE SCAM since it won't let you close the app until you give them money. ### 1/5 — Abofalle *2024-07-11* nicht kostenlos, man kann nur mit überteuertem Abo QR Codes erstellen! ### 1/5 — Falso *2024-07-04* Dice que es gratuita, pero para poderla usar te piden pago ### 1/5 — Looks Free Isnit *2024-02-07, version 3.3.8* Can't try before you subscribe. When faced with this kind of agressive UI design I find it is better to move on immediately. ### 1/5 — It is NOT "Free with in app purchases" *2023-09-02* You have to subscribe to this app before it will give you a chance to try it to see if you want to subscribe to it. Until you subscribe, you can't even click out of the "PAY HERE NOW BUY BUY BUY" screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it :) *2026-04-18, version 3.4.8* Xxxxxx ### 5/5 — Powerful! *2026-03-08, version 3.4.8* Played around with alternatives but this one is tops. Intuitive and powerful. ### 5/5 — A livesaver! *2026-01-16, version 3.4.8* I need to print QR codes, plus text, for a simple serial number tracking system. The only solution I had before discovering this app was to one-by-one type up codes, click and drag, etc., etc. SO time consuming, almost canned the whole thing. After using this app, I can finally step it up, and track serial numbers for my products! Thank you! Very worth the $29.99 lifetime subscription too. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2025-12-31* Having used multiple other sources such as Bitly, the intrusive ads that they placed infant of the QR destination was not what we wanted our viewing customers to see. SO… we tried this app. It is EXACTLY the solution we needed and works VERY well! ### 5/5 — AWESOME! So intuitive and fun to use. Great results *2025-08-10* It lets me get great looking QR codes, easy, to my tastes. App is easy to use, well designed and full featured. So glad I got it. ### 5/5 — Einfach Topp! *2025-02-02* War eigentlich nur auf der Suche nach einem Tool, mit dem ich VCARDs erstellen kann, und war dann angenehm überrascht, daß man bei der QR-Code-Erstellung zwischen der Ansicht „QR-Code“ und „Roher Code“ (VCARD) hin- und herschalten kann. Jetzt kann ich beides, perfekte QR-Codes erstellen, und VCARDs. Merci! ### 5/5 — Charles Eaton, PhD *2024-09-03, version 3.4.3* I am 91 years old. I had want'd to be able to creat QR code, but the options were perplexing. However, Apple and QR Factory! Just what I wanted: simplicity and clarity YES, others can make eye-blinking wonders, but all I wanted was a program that was easy to use and had everything I needed––and no more. All I wanted was some butter with my bread. I got the butter allright––Hec, I got the whole COW! ### 5/5 — Excellent bulk CSV features *2024-05-29, version 3.4.2* I love this software! As a developer myself, I really value well written software, and excellent technical support. Since begining to use QR Factory as part of a workflow that requires regerating hundreds of QR codes per week from CSV data, it has exceeded all my expectations. Their development team has added features specifically to support my workflow, and with their rapid response times and superb manner the only thing I wish for is that I could buy more software from these guys! I'd love to have Tunabelly style support for other software titles I have to use :-) If I could give this app more than 5 stars I would! ### 5/5 — Sehr nützliche App *2024-05-01* Gelegentlich habe ich die Notwendigkeit, QR-Codes zu erzeugen. Für meinen Anwendungsfall ist der Funktionsumfang absolut perfekt. Eine frühere Rezension, bei der ich das Nur-Abo-Modell bemängelt habe, will ich hiermit korrigieren, denn es ist auch ein Einmalkauf möglich. Bei einer notwendig gewordenen Neuinstallation hatte ich aufgrund der Lizenzdarstellungen Schwierigkeiten, meinen Kauf einer Dauerlizenz wieder herzustellen. Das ist mir nun aber gelungen und ich kann die App empfehlen. ### 5/5 — Great, great app! *2024-04-18, version 3.4.1* I use this for my small business and it works GREAT! Getting lots of newsletter signups by people scanning the QR code at their table. Keep up the great work! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
