The options in create mode don’t work
I make the purchase because the ‘create’ option. It’s not matured. It doesn’t allow me to use all the shapes and color on the shape options. It just gives a message of invalid choice. If it’s invalid, please don’t make the options available for us to pick. The message didn’t say which option is invalid. Very frustrated. It ends up, I could only pick a color for the code. No background color, no change shape are allowed - invalid option... I think I was fooled by the picture on the App Store. It shows all the options for creating code, but only one option is working.

Paid money for this and doesn’t work
Seems like a scam, don’t waste your money
★★★★ JaneTennison 6/2/2013 v3.1
Waste of time & $0.99
First, it took many tries for the app to sync to my iPod--by which time the convention I'd bought the app for was long over. Then the app didn't work! I "scanned" a QR code, then a bar code, and nothing happened.

This is the same as the free
This app is the same thing as the free one come on

Didn't work with the new iPhone. Bought the free and the .99 version. And both were ineffective.

App doesnt work
I can't get this app to read anything, I have a brand new iPhone with an 8 mega pixel camera and it was a waste of .99 cents
★★★★ Ellie1900 11/24/2011 v1.3

Qr reader for iPhone
This app doesn't work for my 3G iPhone, a dollar waisted. When I try to report a problem the link conveniently can't connect to the iTunes store. Apple give me my money back!
★★★★ Wking8 11/5/2011 v1.3
A dollar wasted
The app is very difficult to use; focus, lighting, etc all hard to achieve. Finally got it to work, but not worth the effort. How do I get my money back?
★★★★ Jhouiy 10/27/2011 v1.3
Works like a three-legged donkey
Hasn't been as much help as I had hoped it would. I was looking for a good application to manage a small business.
★★★★ Stone Kisses 10/25/2011 v1.3
Horrible
I tried repeatedly to use it. Wouldn't even recognize a QR code.
★★★★ Graydot16 10/17/2011 v1.3

★★★★★ Sarahmaruri 11/5/2011 v1.3
