### 3/5 — Works great except…

*2022-09-14, version 6.2*

I don’t see where you can chose it to scan a QR code in a pic on my iPhone.  Simply enough, I have a Pic of a QR code that’s saved to my phone. If your app(s) can’t scan a photo for the QR code, that’s a big hole in the functionality. If it can, it’s not obvious how. For this use, it’s lacking

### 3/5 — Crash when tapping on created QR code

*2021-01-03, version 6.2*

I created a QR code in the app. When I tap on the created QR code icon in the list, the app crashes.

### 2/5 — Вылетает!

*2018-12-13*

При создании текста в QR-коде вылетает, не сохраняет ничего... подложить фото, сделать прозрачным невозможно! Зря приобретал... две звезды это авансом!

### 3/5 — Accessibility issues – labeling

*2018-07-26*

This is a very useful app however, there are some issues with accessibility and voiceover. When taking a finger and moving down to the tab area the five tabs are not properly labeled all they say is tab 1 of 5, tab 2 of 5, tab 3 of five, tab for of five and tab five of five. You have to spend an excessive amount of time searching through the screen to find where you want to be an activate the feature. This app would get five stars if the buttons were properly labeled

### 3/5 — Good app, but why the ads???

*2018-07-08*

I can’t get beyond the ads, and I just paid 2.99 hoping that they’d disappear... no such luck!  What gives???

### 2/5 — QR Reader Premjum

*2016-02-28*

Awesome 😎

### 4/5 — Good Deal

*2015-10-27, version 4.5*

Really nothing to complain about...I like!!!

### 3/5 — Premium version hasn’t been updated since...

*2015-06-18*

This premium version hasn’t been updated since 9/26/2014. Perhaps only a few people have purchased the premium version such as myself…? Not enough users for the developer(s) to put some time and effort? Or is this version so perfect, it does not need to be updated any more. Hmmm… The free version was updated just yesterday… What gives?

### 4/5 — Great little Scanner

*2015-06-16, version 4.5*

Think this app works great.
No problems, you can save if you like & is very fast!

### 4/5 — QRReader

*2015-06-02, version 4.5*

Extremely easy and useful way to go to a web page when the author includes it!

### 3/5 — Doesn't pick up everything..:

*2015-02-09, version 4.5*

Wish it was more reliable to pick up everything, rather than scan and scan...

### 3/5 — App Title!

*2015-02-06*

Very good app, but the app title displays wrongly, should be the same as the iPad version and just show as "QRreader" under the icon rather than do "QRreader for iPhone..." Please fix as this is very annoying!

😝

### 4/5 — Nag screen problem Retraction

*2014-11-29*

The problem I was experiencing was not the QR Reader for iPhone Premium App.  Sometimes I can be so dense.  Anyway, the App is good and works fine, and I hope the folks at TapMedia can forgive my previous review, and keep up their good work.

### 5/5 — То что надо!

*2014-03-21*

Очень быстро! Очень-очень-очень быстро! Даже не успеваю девайс (5s) толком спозиционировать, а оно уже все распознает!

### 1/5 — Worst we generator

*2020-07-29*

When ever creating barcodes with transparency option it keeping closing app ,
 I bought the premium for transparency option but unfortunately I lost fees which I be paid for such application

### 1/5 — The options in create mode don’t work

*2018-12-02, version 6.2*

I make the purchase because the ‘create’ option.  It’s not matured.  It doesn’t allow me to use all the shapes and color on the shape options.  It just gives a message of invalid choice.  If it’s invalid, please don’t make the options available for us to pick.  The message didn’t say which option is invalid.  Very frustrated. It ends up, I could only pick a color for the code.  No background color, no change shape are allowed — invalid option...  I think I was fooled by the picture on the App Store.  It shows all the options for creating code, but only one option is working.

### 1/5 — Paid money for this and doesn’t work

*2018-11-12*

Seems like a scam, don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2018-05-16*

Пытаюсь создать qr код transparent и программа вылетает! Жаль потраченных средств.

### 1/5 — Вы издеваетесь?!

*2016-03-17*

Не верно сканирует товар, и не выдает соответсвенно верную информацию! Уже не работает в России? Нахрена я купила приложение, которое не работает?! Исправьте как было!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not working with IOS 8

*2014-09-25, version 4.2*

I upgraded to IOS 8 and ever since QR Reader (Premium) won't startup or work. But yet the free version works great. Anyone else having problems getting the premium version to work with IOS 8?

### 1/5 — Waste of time & $0.99

*2013-06-02, version 3.1*

First, it took many tries for the app to sync to my iPod--by which time the convention I'd bought the app for was long over. Then the app didn't work! I "scanned" a QR code, then a bar code, and nothing happened.

### 1/5 — Premium-Version mit Eigenwerbungstexte!?

*2012-11-21*

Seit dem letzten Update werden die gescannten Texte (in der Premium-Version) mit Eigenwerbung wie bei der Gratis-Version versehen! Dadurch für mich nun OHNE Nutzen (Scannen und DIREKTES Einfügen in Formular-Felder)

Bitte umgehend echte Premium-Version wieder bereitstellen. (Fehler beim Update-Einreichen bei Apple?)
MfG

### 1/5 — This is the same as the free

*2012-09-10, version 3.0*

This app is the same thing as the free one come on

### 1/5 — QR Reader

### 5/5 — So far awesome

*2023-02-09*

So far awesome and exactly what I was looking for. I work at Trader Joe’s and sometimes customers ask me about the continents, nutrients, etc…… just being able to scan and search is cool and what I was looking for without paying a frucking monthly fee that seems to be the norm with these scum sucking in-app purchase clown developers

### 5/5 — Bhitch I Mii (Mac 🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

*2021-11-13*

Let’s Go

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-10-07*

Works perfectly, no bugs. This app is extremely helpful, get it.

### 5/5 — good app

*2017-06-29*

use it very good app

### 5/5 — Recomendo!

*2016-01-21*

Além da função de leitor de qr code, acessar web etc... é um scan de sudoku muito preciso. Tb p/ o sudoku possui as funções de dicas, resolver, guardar em pasta criada pelo usuário, renomear o problema.

### 5/5 — Einfach zu bedienen

*2015-05-16*

Tolle App! Funktioniert reibungslos! Empfehlenswert!

### 5/5 — Gutes Werkzeug

*2015-03-20*

Funktioniert tadellos. Kann man nur empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Great app to use

*2014-12-07, version 4.5*

Very easy to use. Great app to have.

### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert!

*2014-09-28*

Sehr vielseitiger QR-Reader, von dem sich andere "etliche Scheiben" abschneiden können!
Die Umsetzung ins Deutsche könnte etwas besser sein, insbesondere ist die 'Hilfe' noch in englischer Sprache. Wenn man dort auf 'Deutsch' umschaltet, wird nur ein Teil der Hilfe und noch in englisch angezeigt.
Das ist aber wirklich nicht schlimm und wird sicher noch angepasst.
Wesentlich ist, das diese App ordentlich arbeitet, leicht zu bedienen ist und dabei noch eine Menge an Auswahlmöglichkeiten anbietet!

### 5/5 — Super!!!

*2014-09-27*

Er macht was er soll und mit dem neuen Update funktioniert er auch mit iOS 8
