Does a good job of reading QR codes, but contains adverts in prominent places that look like the link you just scanned, but end up scamming you. Just when you're in a rush to pay for parking or something, these ads take you to a site that charges you roughly what you're expecting to pay anyway, but it's a completely different site and you're unwittingly signing up for some monthly subscription you don't want. Very cynical manipulation by the advertisers. That's why I've uninstalled this app.

The best QR code maker I've used. I highly recommend it. Compact size. Easy to make and scan qr codes offline. History section to see links you've turned to qr codes keeps me organized if I forget. I've also scanned barcodes with it. I only wish I could name the image file name as it is generated but I can do that in my files app. Thank you developers! Keep up the good work!

QR codes are a crucial tool, and this app's approach to ads fails to respect that. The browser doesn't render pages correctly and displays Google-sourced phishing ads over those pages that disguise themselves as normal website features. This leaves users open to scams. I barely dodged this because the source of the code was a trusted institution. It may be a case of thoughtless design rather than malice on the part of the devs, but go with an ad-free scanner.
