### 1/5 — “Scanner is not available”

*2024-06-12*

Just signed up and it doesn’t work. 
CANCEL my subscription please!

### 5/5 — То, что давно искал

*2024-04-03*

Наконец-то, нашел приложение, которое нормально считывает и создает все типы баркодов, а не только QR)

### 5/5 — Приложение ложь

*2021-03-09*

Снимает деньги за пробную подписку, само приложение не работает

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2020-12-01, version 1.8*

I had the same horrible experience as everyone else. I downloaded it to read a barcode but didn’t realize it was not free. Only discovered it a month later on my credit card bill. I wonder why apple store allows this to happen. Requested a refund. Hope it will come through. What a scam!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-10-27*

I am able to create codes for my own use!

### 2/5 — Trying to cancel subsciption

*2020-10-25*

The app works bit when and if you try to cancel the “app store help” button goes to a broken link and it is totally unclear in general on the account how to cancel!! 😤😤😤

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2020-10-21, version 1.8*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Pegadinha

*2020-10-19*

Péssimo, pois os criadores te induzem a erro, da a impressão que ao baixar, você vai poder fazer a leitura. Instalado ele só deixa fazer a leitura, depois que vc aceitar a assinatura semanal e bem cara.

### 1/5 — Quero. Cancelar a compra e não estou conseguindo. Como fazer?

*2020-10-14*

Quero cancelar a compra e não consigo. Não há informações a respeito. Não quero ser cobrada. Como faço?

### 1/5 — No info about price

*2020-10-12, version 1.8*

No info about price. Then they charge you. Disappointed.
