Point at the code. It reads itself, with nothing to press. And before you open a web address, QR & Barcode Scanner tells you if something is wrong with it: a name imitating a well-known site, a numeric address instead of a name, an unprotected connection. It explains it in plain words, before you open it. WHAT IT READS • QR codes • Product barcodes (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC) • Code 128, Code 39, ITF, PDF417, Aztec, Data Matrix • Also from a photo you already have on your phone WHAT IT CREATES • A QR code for your home Wi-Fi: guests point their phone and connect, with no password to dictate • Links, text, contacts, phone numbers, SMS, email • Barcodes for your home or shop inventory • To save to your photos, share, or print as a PDF BUILT TO BE READ • One switch and all the text gets bigger • Wide buttons, plain language • It can read the result aloud EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE The app does not connect to the internet. It collects no data, asks for no sign-up and has no ads. The codes you read stay on your phone and you can delete them whenever you like. The address check is help, not a guarantee: never enter passwords or card details on a site reached through a code you found somewhere.
