The main thing that would be nice is it could be set as a complication on the watch screen instead of having to dig for the app on my watch. Would be so much nicer. I would give it a 5 star rating if that feature was available. Nice app. ### 3/5 — Works but too basic for contacts *2023-01-30* It’s nice to have options for various types of QR codes, like addresses, WiFi passwords, etc. but the contact card only supports name, company, phone and email: too limited compared to other similar apps. ### 4/5 — You will like it *2022-09-27* I think this is a very good app, the only thing that it needs is to be able to add more than one phone number in one QR Code. By far the best one for an iPhone the others you aren't even able to make one QR Code. If you can make it so more numbers can be added I think you will change the game. Samsung phones create a code right when you input a number. ### 3/5 — Great but won’t print *2022-05-22* It is very easy to use and create codes, but when you try to print you have to unlock the feature for 99 cents. Still a good deal, but when you go to print, the app closes every time. ### 4/5 — Works Well *2022-03-22, version 1.6* Very clever and useful app. Integration with Apple Watch is very handy. Read where there was the ability to set it up as a complication but I do not see it. Pinning a code for use with Siri evidently was evidently was eliminated with iOS15. Only way to have a QR code appear in the Visual Code app on all your devices is to take a picture of the code with other devices. There is no syncing between devices with the codes, you have to manually place the codes on each device. Another workaround would be to send yourself a photo of the code (in app required) and create a album of saved visual codes. Very pleased with the timely responses to my questions sent to the developer. ### 4/5 — no longer works *2022-03-06, version 1.6* 6 Mar 22 - finally fixed the bug where codes did not fit on Watch, therefore they were useless. perhaps not fully ios14 compatible? Now when opening a code on Watch, the square displays and then immediately bumps up, obscuring part of the code, which can’t be decoded any more ### 4/5 — NOMES *2022-02-09* Como dou nomes aos QRs para identificação ### 3/5 — Apple Watch *2021-10-31* When you open the QR Code on the Apple Watch, the code is not the correct size and the user cannot read it to be accessed. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-06-06* Does not work on Apple watch - there is a title bar on top which blocks part of the QR code. This unfortunately make the app rather useless. App does not seem to be supported any longer. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable sur iPhone et Apple Watch *2021-06-06* Le scan est dysfonctionnant je regrette mon achat ! ### 1/5 — No instructions on how to utilize this app! *2021-05-30* No instructions at all. I’m sure to some it is obvious but for those of us who are not familiar there should be something. I rate it a zero stars. Even after I purchased the upgrade ... nothing! ### 1/5 — Inutilisable sur Apple Watch *2021-05-29* Un texte cache une partie du QR code, le rendant illisible. ### 1/5 — not readable *2021-05-03* unfortunately the qr-code is not readable on the apple watch 6 because the title covers the top part. emails in this matter are not answered. that is more than 8 weeks ago. a pity ... Update May 2021: I deleted this useless app, especially of the poor support! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don't Purchase Print & Share *2025-07-10* After paying for print and share, the app simply crashes every time I try to print. ### 1/5 — Crashes on print attempt *2023-02-03* Paid for the ability to print and it crashes every time. ### 1/5 — Unable to print *2022-06-01* Paid for the app in order to print and it kicks me out while it is in the process of sending it to the printer. Needs bug fix! ### 1/5 — Bought the save plugin but no save button ? *2022-04-27* So I bought the save to camera roll add on only to find it never made the option to save the qr codes available ???? ### 1/5 — Useless. Crashes with scan. *2022-02-12* Useless. Crashes with scan. ### 1/5 — QR codes cutoff on Apple Watch *2021-12-01* When opening a saved QR code on my Series 7 Watch, the code is slightly cutoff on the top which makes it unscannable. This was my only purpose for downloading the app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-10-30* Tried scanning a vaccine passport QR code and the app consistently crashes. ### 1/5 — Scanning the code bad *2021-10-16, version 1.5.2* I try to scan the code but is in impossible the title block the code For the add contact.I will give a 5 star if you fix it. ### 1/5 — Restore purchase *2021-09-25* Restore purchase button isn’t working. Just nothing happens when I press it. iPhone 13 pro iOS 15 Apart of it app deserves 5 stars ### 1/5 — Unfortunately synchronizing with Apple Watch is not working anymore *2021-07-21* No display of the QR Codes an Apple Watch since the synchronization does not work anymore ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rede Gabriel *2023-07-08* Wifi ### 5/5 — So simple *2023-04-04* Found this to be an incredible experience ### 5/5 — Solved a Problem *2022-10-23* I was looking for a solution to a problem where I could share my contact details or web site address on my Apple Watch face. I found the solution with this app. It does one thing and does it well. Once the app is installed on my iPhone it automatically appears on my Apple Watch. I then create the QR Code using the App on my iPhone by filling out the included templates. The QR codes are created and they appear in the Apple Watch app instantly. From this point on if I want to share my info I just call up the Apple Watch app select the relevant QR code and ask the recipient to scan using there device. The only way I can see this app could be improved would be to have automated syncing with my iPad version of the app. I thank the developer for a great app fit for purpose. ### 5/5 — So simple *2022-09-26* I’ve literally just opened this app and it took me one minute to create a QR Code for my WiFi to keep it private then I noticed it was only a one off 89p to enjoy the extras: bargain Top app well worth it if you need to make use of these codes that just make life simpler and the developers have made it easier so many thanks to you 😊 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-07-12* Excellent little app. Does exactly what it says on the tin. ### 5/5 — Great at what it does, would love a couple small features *2021-05-11* 5 stars for the base free app, 3 for the paid print feature. Things that would make the print feature better include the ability to resize the print area, and the ability to add custom fields/text to printouts (for example, to show SSID and password on WiFi printout, additional info on contact cards, or just whatever). Love the Apple Watch functionality. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2021-04-26* Fácil prático ### 5/5 — Series 6 issue *2020-12-04* Great app but not on series 6 . Top of code gets blocked by menu bar ### 5/5 — Great so far *2020-10-25, version 1.5.2* Would be nice if shared code had label and url on it. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-04-18* This app is absolutely brilliant. I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Now when I meet people I can give them my contact information, or website, by then scanning my Apple Watch ⌚️.
