What's New in QR Scanner · Baro

1.0.14

August 24, 2026

The screen that explains why this app needs the camera now says "Continue" instead of "Allow". Small wording, real difference: iOS asks for the permission itself, in its own dialog, and that is where the choice belongs. A button of ours saying "Allow" made it look like the decision was already made — so people stopped reading the one screen that matters. Nothing about what the app does with the camera has changed.

Response from developer

You were right, and thank you for saying it plainly — there was no visible way out of the result screen. That was our mistake, not yours, and calling it a bug was fair. It is fixed in the current version. The result now has a close button at the top and a "Scan next code" button at the bottom, so you go straight from one code to the next without hunting for a gesture. Your review is what got it found. If anything else gets in your way, the "Built with you" card in the app opens a message to us directly. We read every one.
