This is a QR code and barcode scanner built around how people actually use codes in real life — not just one scan at a time, but across every format, every content type and every situation where a code appears and you need to know what is inside it immediately. The app reads. The app generates. The app remembers what you scanned. Here is when each part becomes useful. WHEN YOU JUST NEED TO SCAN SOMETHING FAST * Point the camera at any QR code or barcode and the result appears instantly — no button press, no loading screen * The scanner recognizes URL, text, phone number, email, SMS, WiFi credentials, vCard contacts, geographic coordinates and standard barcodes automatically * Each result type opens the right action directly: a URL goes to the browser, a phone number to the dialer, WiFi connects without typing, a vCard saves as a contact WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CODES TO GET THROUGH * Switch to Batch Scan and move through a stack of QR codes or barcodes without stopping between each one * Every scanned result is captured and logged as you go — nothing is lost, nothing needs to be re-scanned * Use this when you are processing inventory, checking in items, scanning products in sequence or any situation where stopping after every single code slows you down WHEN YOU NEED TO CREATE A CODE FROM SCRATCH * Open the Generator and choose what type of code to create: URL, plain text, phone number, email, SMS, WiFi network, vCard, location or standard barcode * Fill in the details, generate the code and save or share it immediately — no design tools, no third-party service required * Use Creator to produce codes for business cards, product labels, links, contact sharing or any use case where you need a scannable code ready fast WHEN YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO SOMETHING YOU SCANNED * Every scan is saved automatically to History with the content type, the result and the time it was scanned * Open any past entry to copy the result, trigger the action again or share it without rescanning * History keeps your scanned codes organized so nothing useful gets lost between sessions WHAT'S INSIDE QR Code Scanner — instant recognition of all standard QR code formats with automatic content type detection Barcode Reader — full barcode scanning across common retail and inventory formats Batch Scan — continuous multi-code scanning that logs every result without stopping between scans Generator and Creator — QR code and barcode creation for all supported content types, ready to save or share History — complete log of all scanned codes with content, type and timestamp for every entry Supported Content Types — URL, Text, Phone, Email, SMS, WiFi, vCard, Geo coordinates, Barcode SUBSCRIPTION & ACCESS Important: Subscription required; no free content.

Found something in the kitchen? A bite on your child's arm? A tick on the dog? Take a photo. PestSnap tells you what it most likely is, how sure it is, which danger signs to watch for — and what to do tonight. WHAT YOU GET IN THE FIRST MINUTE • The answer: what it looks like, with a plain "how sure" — never a guess dressed up as fact • Danger signs: the ones that mean call now, call today, or watch — with Poison Control and the Pet Poison Helpline one tap away • Tonight: 3 concrete steps for this pest, this bite, this tick • Up to 3 photos per scan — a close-up, another angle, where you found it — for a sharper answer THEN IT KEEPS TRACK FOR YOU Every finding becomes a case with dated checks: count the sticky trap on day 3, look for the second wave on day 14, check the bite spot tomorrow. PestSnap reminds you on the evening it matters — never about billing. • Photos over time: slide between day 1 and day 14 of the same spot and see what changed • Your places: kitchen, basement, bedroom, the dog — one tap says "nothing found" • Plans built for each problem: roaches, bed bugs, termites, mice, ticks, fleas, bites ASK THE AI GUIDE ABOUT YOUR CASE The guide knows your scans, your checks and your notes, and answers in your own language. Short answers first, "Tell me more" when you want the rest. It is an AI, says so, and points you to a doctor, vet or licensed pro when that's the right call. SEND IT TO WHOEVER HAS TO ACT One tap turns your case into a clean PDF with your photos, dates and the app's reading: • Your landlord — dated photos and a ready letter asking for an inspection • Your doctor or pediatrician — the same spot photographed day by day • Your vet — when and where the tick was found, the checks, the questions to ask • A pest pro or inspector — what you saw, where, how many, what you already tried • Your partner at home — what it is and who does what tonight FOUR WAYS TO SCAN • The bug itself — roaches, ants, spiders, bed bugs, termites, wasps and more • A bite — compared with common bite patterns • Signs without a bug — droppings, mud tubes, shed skins, gnaw marks • On your pet — ticks, fleas and mites in fur MADE FOR Homeowners protecting their house · Renters who need a dated record · Parents checking a child's bite · Dog and cat owners in tick season TRY IT FREE Start with a 7-day free trial of the weekly plan (for eligible new subscribers), then $7.99 a week — or choose the annual plan at $39.99 a year. Prices are shown in your local currency before you buy. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends, or at purchase for the annual plan • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period • Cancel anytime in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions IMPORTANT PestSnap gives AI-assisted identifications from photos. It is not a diagnosis and not medical, veterinary or professional pest-control advice. For a severe reaction call 911 or Poison Control (1-800-222-1222); for a pet emergency call your vet or the Pet Poison Helpline (1-855-764-7661). A licensed exterminator confirms an infestation.
