QR & Barcode Scanner

Thought this app was great at the start, then realized it was nothing more than a redirect app to numerous other apps, most of which were some type of security suite, VPNs, Virus Scanners, etc. Lots of other options which all look the same or similar. Walk Away! Ratings don't tell the whole story. I would have recommended the app just after I got it. But somewhere down the trail, the developers must have grown some greed and sold out to "redirects" who pay them a commission for the redirects.

I just downloaded this app. Initially I had a negative reaction when I scanned a QR code. it prominently showed an ad in the middle and choosing Continue at the bottom would have taken me to the ad. Solutions: First, simply look at the top of your screen and choose the displayed URL you just scanned. This takes you to where you want to be. Second, in Settings, select "automatically open the scanned URL." Next time, it will go straight to the scanned URL. Great App. Scans with lightening speed.

When scanning a QR code, an ad will come up in middle of screen. I didn't realize this was an ad so I clicked on Open and put in my credit card to pay for parking. Well, turns out it was not the parking site I was on. it was a fraudulent company that charged my credit card on 2 separate occasions days apart and my bank notified me and I had to cancel credit card. Stop letting fraudulent companies advertise on your app!!

It works as described. I do have a problem with the way the advertisements are set up on the page after you scan a qr code. Like other people have said, there is a blue "open" button between the picture of the code and the address, that looks like it will open up the link you scanned. It instead opens up an advertisement link in your browser. I don't believe it is an intentional scam, but it is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. It is on this app, no mistake (like support has said).

Similar complaint as other users have said. When I scanned a QR, it brought up two links. One link with a big blue button that was actually an ad. The other link which was the one I wanted, was much more inconspicuous. I was in a rush trying to pay for parking. I accidentally opened the ad link thinking it was to pay for parking. I foolishly filled out the form and entered my credit card info. Now, my bank account has been hacked because the link is a scam site. 1 star for hosting a scam.

Like many others have stated, the App plaves it's ads in a way that causes you to mistakenly click them, which lead to me having to replace my debit card. And for the likely reply I'll get to tgis no it's not because of the QR Code I scanned and yes your app is free and having ads isn't a bad thing but put them at the very top of the app not dead center with a huge blue "Open" button. Seriously, that's uncalled for. Also, before it's said no, I did not confuse this app for another one.

I don't care for the way the ads are presented after scanning a code: Ads are in the middle of the screen, with a large blue button, while the actual scanned link is an inconspicuous url at the top. I feel like this intentionally misleads users into clicking on the ads, and I will be uninstalling because of it. The scanning capability itself works fine.

BEWARE. Same thing as others have said, the ads are vague. I downloaded this QR scanner to scan a qr code on the side of the router I got them clicked on an ad thinking it was the link to start my intertet up. I input the card info for the "free" account, which was kind of weird looking back, but next thing I know my bank sends me a text saying they blocked a transaction of $39.99 immediately after I tried creating the "free" account. The Ads are scams. Choose a different app.

Ads are scams! I was attempting to pay a restaurant bill, and instead of the restaurant opening up, the ad did. It took my information and now is billing me 49.95 for something I didn't order or have access to. Be aware that the app allows ads that are scams. In response to your response. BULL. I am not stupid to mix up apps. That is insulting. I maintain my statement.

Downloaded at the moment I needed it. Developer must have known that to be something that happens often cause as soon as I opened the app it went straight to the camera, ready to scan. It was easy to scan the QR code and it returned the result lighting fast. I was given options on what I wanted to do (open the weblink, share the link or what-have-you) and when I touched the "open link" button, I was quickly moved to the exact correct target for that link. Worked great!! Love it.

Deceptive ads are allowed directly underneath scanned links. I knew to look out for them, and still one day it caught me off guard. I went to pay for parking in a new city and, with the glare of the sun making it difficult to see my screen, I clicked on the ad by mistake. It took me directly to a page to fill out my credit card info, and thinking that I was paying for the parking I filled it out and got my credit card stolen. That experience prompted me to find a better app to use.

I have only used this QR & Barcode Scanner one time but it wasted no time in presenting the number I was looking for! Before I ever even got it in focus, I thought that it was an error 😁. Quick, Simple and even more effective than the others I've tried. Great job in putting it together and offering it to the public! CHECK IT OUT GUYS! NO NEED To Keep Looking, you found it!

Was trying to sign up for a limited time thing, and downloaded this to use the QR image. The ads are deceptive and was just vague enough for me to believe it was the correct website. I put in my email/phone number and have been inundated with spam calls/emails non-stop, even 2 am. They could've set it up in a way that clearly indicates you are viewing a different website than the one you wanted, but they probably make more money if you trust them and fill out the ad. Use any other qr scanner

The app is very quick and, in my opinion, intuitive. My reason for the 4 star instead of 5 star rating is the placement of the scanned barcode image below the ad. The decoded text of the barcode is at the top, and the barcode image should be placed next. Instead, an ad comes next (no criticism of the advertisement, dev has to be paid for their work) with an Open button. This arrangement implies that the Open button is pressed to see search results, but it opens the ad.

Works as expected, though ads are not vetted for deceptive practice. Most ads have a big call-to-action button beneath them, either "Open" or "Install". This button is not an obvious part of the ad and schemed to look like a functional part of the app. When showing the "Open" button, it is entirely too easy to confuse with a button that would open the link decoded from the barcode. Although the ad is labeled as such, it needs to be visually framed. Until that happens, this app is deceptive.

DO NOT USE THIS SCANNER!- This is connected to scamming companies! I used it to reactivate a PBS account on Roku and when I clicked a link on my phone it took me to something that was not PBS (I didn't realize that). I stupidly gave my credit card number and they said my account would not be charged. It was charged right away. When I try to login to their website it does not allow me to. I've had to lock my debit card and go through the process of changing all my billing accounts. BEWARE!!

There are ads, with "Open Link" right where you'd expect to open the scanned link...and opening that ad, installs ads that randomly pop-up on my phone, and are a pain to navigate away from. The ad app that gets installed has a blank title, so it's harder to find to remove. This is evil.

I tried entering a snap-on tools promotion I had multiple tickets for, I scanned the first one clicked download didn't think anything of it then on the second one I stopped and read the tiny print at the top it was for a free trial for something completely unrelated to snap-on with subsequent monthly charges of £34 a month do not download this app how it can have 4.8☆ is criminal, it was associated with Ireland so that says it all

I downloaded this app for scanning once. But I watched at least 6 ads for scanning one time. I can't suggest this app to anyone. One ads leads to another. I am surprised how one get such good reputation ( 4 + stars ) with such low quality?!

It's easier by not waiting for any waiter/waitress in restaurants to rush timing for our orders. Just press the menu dish, drinks and any ingredients for adding in will be done by double confirming with the receipts we have been ordering.
