| 2024-06-06 |  | | I've been using this app for several years. It's a QR and barcode scanner - that's it. Easy to use, no bells and whistles, works great. |
| 2023-10-06 |  | | I have found this app accurate in its read, URL derivation etc, however I am disappointed in two aspects firstly the app has no specific batch scanning capability which would be extraordinarily useful. Secondly it accurately decodes ISBN numbers, returning Titles, Author etc and stores them in History. Viewing history shows all the detail is there. However upon exporting the history csv it only sends the date! for ISBN scans. Product and URL scans are sent complete needs to be resolved please. |
| 2021-11-04 |  | | Has worked very well for me so far, and I will definitely keep on using it. One minor thing: a couple of times when I have started it, it has displayed some text in a foreign language (looks vaguely Arabic?) with 'Later', 'Yes' and 'No' options below. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with that... There doesn't appear to be any settings that I can use to set a default language (or any settings at all!) |
| 2020-12-08 |  | | Hello, How are you ? Great I hope! Works as promised.... Just saved the day for me. I have an app that cannot open the camera on phone to set up a login account. I had the secondary option to import a url which I was able to do using the Lightning QR code reader to extract the url, then copy and paste the url into the app's designated box. This saved me from doing extensive trouble shooting or worse having to send phone back because this was needed for work! Great Job! Have a great week! Tony |
| 2020-07-05 |  | | App was great for a while just sat there for when I needed it. Then I start getting notifications about FB QR codes multiple times a day so turned off notifications, then started getting ads for games constantly despite not using app for 6 months. 12 ads in 4 hours, completely unsolicited!!! Ridiculous!!!! Needless to say uninstalled app. Do not use it's a bloody joke!!! |
| 2020-02-21 |  | | Although I've only used the "Lightning QR code Scanner" a couple of times, it's done exactly what it advertises as doing- everytime, without any kind of waiting. I really, really like the speed at which it recognizes the QR Code. IMO, there's a whole lot of Apps that just take entirely too long to DO, whatever it is they're supposed to do... But certainly not THIS one- BAM! ...as SOON as you bring up the "Lightning code Scanner" and it sees it's "QR target", you get the result. SO fast... |
| 2020-02-08 | | | The advertising is shown so that it deliberately covers up the soft keys on the phone. This makes it very difficult to close the app down without clicking on the advert in question. If this hadn't been the case, I would have rated this 5 star. My advice to everyone is not to install this app because it could force you to visit sites that you do not want to visit, and which could contain malware. |
| 2019-10-08 | | | when one scans a code, just to see the url but doesn't follow the link and then locks the screen, with the app still in foreground, the app keeps running at full steam (phone heats up and battery drains). edit: further regression. on phones that don't have separate buttons outside the screen, the app prevents rendering of the 'home screen', 'back', 'switch app' buttons, so once i scan© a code, i can't go to another app and paste it there. only clicking the advertisement gets you out. |
| 2019-08-29 | | | A+. I've installed this on at least one previous phone as well as this phone. I test many similar apps, and this reader is always the most impressive. Allows to product search, code search, save, share and more in app. Ads on bottom are a bit more intrusive now than they once were (slightly larger, noisier) but DEF not a deal-breaker. Non-issue. Super small footprint, powerful/versatile, quick, highly accurate, and asks no intrusive permissions. I continue to be impressed, great job! |
| 2019-08-25 | | | I'm using this app mostly to see what used books sell for. Its fast and better than another app I used to do the same thing for books. I'll use it to identify best prices when.i shop.for other things, works smoothly. Save my money instead of picking up books with little or useless resale value. Let's see how it goes but so far I'm impressed. |
