Look before you tap. A QR code hides where it goes. Foreglance shows you the link first, checks it, and lets you decide. Point the camera at a code — or pick a photo you already have — and Foreglance reads it, shows the full address, and runs a safety check before anything opens. Several codes in frame? Tap the one you meant. Code too small, or washed out by glare on a screen? Pinch to zoom and it re-reads just that area. WHAT THE CHECK LOOKS FOR • Plain HTTP pages, where anything you type can be intercepted • Links pointing at a raw IP address instead of a real site • Lookalike domains borrowing a brand name they don't own • Shortened links, unmasked so you see the real destination • Punycode domains that imitate familiar letters • Credentials buried in the URL to disguise where it leads • Known phishing and malware sites, via Google Web Risk (Pro) OPEN IT SAFELY — OR DON'T Open a link in the built-in private browser and nothing is kept: no cookies, no history, no traces. Or hand it to Safari. Or save it for later with a note and the page title — Foreglance checks it again before it opens. FREE Camera scanning, the full URL, every heuristic check above, shortened-link unmasking, and Open in Safari. PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Google Web Risk checking against millions of known phishing and malware sites, the private browser, save-for-later, and scanning codes out of screenshots and saved photos. Web Risk is a switch you turn on yourself in Settings — nothing leaves your device until you do. Every future Pro feature is included. PRIVACY No account. No ads. No analytics, no tracking, no profile. Links are matched against a list stored on your own device, so ordinary scans never leave your phone. When a scan does need a second opinion, only a short, anonymous fingerprint of the address is sent — never your browsing history, and never anything tied to you. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No checker catches everything, and new scam sites appear faster than any database updates. Foreglance exists to give you a look and a reason to pause. It is not a guarantee, and it does not pretend to be.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NEEWER Studio at none against Foreglance's 1. NEEWER Studio also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Foreglance's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
