★★★★ Basil Marais 5/6/2026
I hated it... took over my phone and tried to upsell other security apps
★★★★ Chris True 5/5/2026 v1.4.3
does not work
★★★★ AJ H 5/4/2026 v1.4.3
too many ads. takes good 15 seconds to load while you're forced to watch misleading advertisements. the camo that broke the straw was I did not know it wasn't AG but it says your software has expired and you need to update but the update forces you to install a third-party software which I felt was very misleading. this is a reason I will now be uninstalling this app.
★★★★ Ean Richards 4/29/2026
extremely deceptive and predatory ads on this app. Any good reviews are botted. DO NOT DOWNLOAD unless you like getting phishing ads at every step of the way
★★★★ Nate 4/24/2026
Unusable. Ads upon ads. Ads prompting to install other barcode scanners. Ads pretending to be the UI.
★★★★ Bill Barnes 4/24/2026

Installed on S26 - and the entire Phone turned into nothing more than a QR code reader.. I don't know if this has been tested with the latest Android on the S26... CAVEAT EMPTOR

★★★★★ Thomas Wood 4/10/2026
Full of deceptive ads for other QR code scanners
★★★★★ Zyara 3/7/2026 v1.4.2
I don't even get a chance to center the entire barcode before it starts scanning a partial one. Once u get a good read it doesn't actually give u a price.
