### 1/5 — QR scanner

*2019-05-06, version 1.0*

What a load of rubbish. It won’t switch on.

### 3/5 — Not reliable

*2017-06-21, version 1.0*

I downloaded this app because I have a vision impairment I wanted to be able to identify books in my library using the UPC on the back half the time this thing can't even recognize there's a UPC in front of it I'm very careful hold the camera very still and have a clear image and it will never recognize the UPC half of the rest of the time it recognizes the UPC incorrectly and says it's a different book than it actually is this app just isn't worth it

### 5/5 — Best simple scanner without ads

*2022-01-08*

Like it

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!

*2017-02-15, version 1.0*

Have been looking for some time for a simple app that would allow me to bulk scan multiple barcodes capturing the scan and time and allowing me to email the details when I require. This app does this and more exceptionally well and is so easy to use. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2017-01-02, version 1.0*

Love how simple it is to use and how there is no unnecessary fluff to it. Love the bulk upload mode.

### 5/5 — Why is this not more popular?

*2016-03-10, version 1.0*

This is easily the best QR Code Reader in the App Store. No ads and incredibly simple to use. Thank you for making the QR codes open directly in Safari. Too many QR code readers use UIWebView which means that it is impossible to view a website in fullscreen or to open a link to a video feed or an interactive website.

This is great work. TY so much.
