Squinting at a QR code that won't scan, or wondering if a link inside one is actually safe to open — that's exactly what QR Code Pro solves. Point your camera at any QR code, barcode, or NFC tag and get an instant, accurate read, then create and customize your own codes just as fast. One purchase, every feature, no ads, ever. INSTANT SCANNING Turn your iPhone into a fast, accurate scanner. Point the camera or import a photo, and QR Code Pro recognizes 13 formats in seconds: QR, Aztec, Data Matrix, Code 128, Code 39, Code 39 Mod 43, Code 93, EAN-13, EAN-8, Interleaved 2 of 5, ITF-14, PDF417, UPC-E Ultra-wide camera support makes it easy to scan large or hard-to-reach codes, and batch scanning lets you capture several codes in one pass instead of stopping after every one. SAFER LINK CHECKS Before you open a scanned link, QR Code Pro checks it for you — flagging disguised domains, link shorteners, unsecured HTTP connections, and unusually long or suspicious URLs, so you can decide with confidence whether to tap through. NFC SCANNING Read compatible NFC tags with your iPhone, including tags that store more than one record — every record reads correctly and displays in full. CREATE AND CUSTOMIZE QR CODES Build a QR code for a website, Wi-Fi network, contact, phone number, email, SMS, text, location, or calendar event in a few taps. Make it yours with custom colors, eye shapes, pupil styles, and your own logo — perfect for a business card, a menu, a classroom, or an event. PRINT & SHARE Print QR codes directly from your iPhone with adjustable layouts, or share them digitally for packaging, flyers, posters, and product labels. STAY ORGANIZED Unlimited scan history keeps every past scan within reach, and Favorites keep the codes you use again close by. iCloud sync carries your history and created codes across your Apple devices, and you can set Scan, Create, or History as the tab that opens first. ONE PURCHASE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED QR Code Pro is a single purchase — no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no ads, ever. Every feature above is included from the moment you install it: - Scans QR, Data Matrix, and 13 barcode formats - Ultra-wide camera support for larger or farther-away codes - Batch scanning for multiple codes in one pass - Safer Link Checks before you open a scanned link - NFC tag reading, including multi-record tags - QR code creation and customization with your own logo - Direct printing with adjustable layouts - Unlimited scan history and Favorites - iCloud sync across your Apple devices - Choice of default tab on launch - No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads People use it to check a restaurant menu, verify a delivery code, build a QR for a Wi-Fi password or business card, or just confirm a link is safe before opening it.

MyGroceryList is the smarter way to shop. Build your list by typing, scanning barcodes, or speaking — then shop with confidence knowing exactly what's in every product you buy. BARCODE SCANNER Point your camera at any product barcode and instantly see its full nutritional profile: Nutri-Score (A–E), Yuka wellness score, NOVA processing level, Eco-Score, and a complete nutrition table with traffic-light warnings for fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt. Product photos are saved with each scanned item so you can spot it on the shelf instantly. NUTRI-SCORE RATINGS Every scanned product is graded A through E using the internationally recognised Nutri-Score system. Tap any item in your list to see its full nutrition breakdown. For lower-rated products, the app finds healthier alternatives in the same food category — and lets you swap them into your list with one tap. VOICE INPUT Add items completely hands-free. Tap the microphone, say what you need, then tap the category. No confusing commands — just natural speech. SMART SUGGESTIONS Start typing and suggestion chips appear instantly, covering hundreds of common grocery items across 20 categories. Items from your history are always one tap away. SHOPPING PROGRESS Check off items as you shop. A live progress tracker shows how far through your list you are. When everything is checked, your shop is saved automatically to history. SAVE & REUSE LISTS Save any list to history with a custom name. Load a previous week's shop in one tap — replace your current list or merge with it. Never start from scratch for your regular shop again. ICLOUD SYNC Your lists, categories, history, and scanned nutrition data sync automatically across all your iPhones and iPads via iCloud. No account required — just your Apple ID. 10 LANGUAGES Full support for English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic (with right-to-left layout), Hindi, and Korean. Switch language at any time in Settings. PRIVACY FIRST No ads. No account. No tracking. Your grocery data stays on your device and in your private iCloud. Nutrition data is sourced from Open Food Facts, a free and open non-profit database.
