Don’t purchase
Nothing works right on here. Doesn’t do what you want. I’m tapping on stuff and don’t open. It’s not worth it.
Junk
Junk in the middle of viewing it disappears and you have to go rescan again then same again. I am uninstalling it and reinstalling it, hoping this will fix it. If not, I will select another code reader app.
Crashes or Freezes When Attempting to Make a QR Code
I have not been able to get a QR code without it either freezing or crashing.
Black screen

Poor directions
This thing had a QR code that didn’t seem to work on where everything goes. So aggravating trying to just set it up.
Garbage
Gave a it 3rd chance and downloaded. Doesn’t recognize anything I scan. I have a better job typing in barcode numbers manually into Bing.

Don’t get fooled
Free QR code scanner? Not hardly! Kept bringing me back to a scanner app I deleted.

Printer set up
Does not connect with my iPad
Nothing came up
It doesn’t show you anything
Leads directly to phishing sites
If you scan a QR code, the website will take you to a site that asks for credit card information. This is a dangerous app. User beware!
X rated add
I do not want to watch porno when I’m trying to get a game on tv, I think you could and should do better picking advertising
Dont download
Itsa scam
Adware of the nasty kind
I feel like I need to wash my hands after uninstalling.
Sucks
Won’t scan doesn’t not work
Scam!!
Seemed like it worked fine until you want to use one of the other features offers a free trial ($.99 per month after trial) then immediately tries to charge every card that you have $19.99
False advertising
It said it was free bot when I downloaded it was just free for 3says and then 9.99a month.
No
This app doesn’t work don’t waste your time on it
Ink cartridge
Terrible instructions for installing cartridge
Zoom slider doesn’t work on iOS

Updating new episodes
Just getting to the point where I don’t even want to watch Netflix because when I go to the movies or episodes that I’m watching the (Korean movies) they don’t have the movies updated or the release episodes… now they’re releasing one or two episodes a week for new movies being released however Netflix your app are not doing a good job… its getting to the point where I’m turning to other channels to watch a full complete drama because I cannot get episodes to be downloaded on time for the ones I start to watch on Netflix or one or two episodes a day and then when you go to check to see the update, it’s not there. Do not like the new format where you’re releasing episodes one or two a day or you missed three days and then release one.
retired
sometimes use
Porn ads
The QR reader works well enough, but stopped using this app due to the ads at the bottom with naked women. I let my little kid play with my phone and can’t have him seeing that.
