Could use free
Don’t work and constantly puts up adds
Wanted to make a QR Code for my dad‘s funeral go fund me and it just brings you to a Google web search
Not Free
Because it is not free
Not Good
Many other less expensive QR scanners that offer the same features.
Absolute trash cash grab
Don’t waste you time. You get 1 free try before it tells you spend ~$30 to continue. And btw the first time will take 10 minutes to read and then not do anything for you. I wish I could rate this 0 stars
$39.95????
You’re using our phones and connect time. This should be free.
Disappointing
It says download for free but then you go to sign for a subscription and pay for it otherwise you can’t use it rip off
Rip off
I didn’t know there was a weekly charge for this app! I want out!
Not Free
Don’t download it, this app is just working for premium accounts.
Never gave cost until downloaded !
Never gave cost until downloaded what a sham
Trial App then !39 Annually!!!!
Is this a joke?! Everybody becomes a premier member?! Download it and it’s a free trial for 3 days then $39 annually! I wanted to try it at a store, not regular use. Their “cancel at any time” clause. Really. Who needs that after they forget and see the charge.
Not going to pay for this
Ugh senselessly paying for this
Karen
I cancel this I can’t afford it thanks any way
More expensive than a marriage
Thumbs down
Not free
Not free
Not free....scam
Not free.....poor!
Not free
If the trial is free then we should not have to enter account information until we decide to keep it. Not before we try it. Do not want everyone having my account information
Problem
It is not scanning the code
Sneaky
The app doesn’t let you know there is a cost. And my review is hidden.
App
I purchased this app because I buy pallets of Merchandise and I needed to get prices on some of the stuff which this app doesn’t give me, and now I’m having trouble canceling the payment
Quentin
Did not work could not find anything
Don’t waste your time
Can’t even scan a simple code without paying for the pro version? Trash app. Tell people the app is useless without a subscription before they download it.
Don’t do it
Not worth the price. And trying to cancel the subscription is a nightmare. Do not recommend.
You gotta pay to even really use it
Bad
Not free
The app is good but not free
Won’t work. Only tries to get me to upgrade.
See title
Screw me
Advertise free. Free for three day trial. Then! $40!
Can’t use
Won’t scan without first showing pop up wanting me to sign up for premium service.
Doesn’t work
Paid for this app and made a code that doesn’t work unless you use the app to scan it. Terrible app
Expensive subscription
This comes to several hundred dollars a year!
Bait / switch
“Free” app - for THREE DAYS after which you subscribe and $5 each WEEK! Are you kidding me!?!?!
Beware of charges.
It works fast but did not realize there was a charge after 3 days. Still trying to cancel it!
Mistake- Selected this app that is free on phone.
As I prepare for customer no service to cancel this app I’m wondering how long this will take. QR code reader is offered free on your phone (found out after I downloaded this app). Do not pay for this app.
AVOID
Costs $10.00/per month billed to your phone!!!!!!
Waste of time
Doesn’t scan. Just teaser to get you to download and purchase 39.95 subscription.
Tell the cost upfront
Need it to be a one shot price not a subscription imho
