QR Code Reader · for Negative User Reviews
✓ Be aware of cheeky subscriptionI downloaded this app and intended to use the 3-day trial free allowance but it automatically opt-in for 1 month Pro Version subscription without me noticing it until I checked my bank account. Read some other reviews on here and found out deleting the app within the 3-day trial period does not remove you from the Premium list on this app which then led to automatic subscription. Very unhappy and furious about this and I demand for a refund please. Thanks and much appreciated..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Can’t get rid of without supportI download this at my child’s project share where we needed a QR Reader to listen to a Podcast. It was chaotic at the event so I may have missed the warning that this was a paid app with automatic renewal, but I ended up having to have a long chat with Apple Support to get it cancelled. There were literally no options for doing so, only different increments of automatic renewals. In trying to figure out how to get out of this a friend found an article on shady developers that specifically highlighted this app. On top of the exorbitant fees I couldn’t cancel without outside help, the app didn’t even work when I needed it. I did end up being able to cancel the automatic renewal and get a refund, but it took more a couple of hours of frustration to do it..Version: 2.3.4
✓ The sleaziest app I have ever seen!!This app is hands-down the most scammy and sleazy app that I have EVER seen in the App Store. I literally want to go wash my hands after having used it knowing that I’m going to cancel it immediately. First of all being so shady about the app not being free is one problem, but $7.99 for a QR scanning app is highway robbery and that’s how you know the people that make this app are scammers to the highest degree. Scammers with no shame charge 7.99 for a QR scanning app but scammers who are trying to come up with a way of paying their rent would charge $.99. Be assured you will find other QR scanning apps very very easily for no cost whatsoever in the App Store the disgust I have for this app is overwhelming..Version: 2.3
✓ ScamStuck with monthly subscription that is a pain to get rid of. Stay away and use a less greedy developers app..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Doesn't workI used it on things and all it said was unknown item and takes a long time to scan the item.Version: 2.3.28
✓ Beware the auto-subscription scamI downloaded this app which created a subscription for $7.99 per month. That is a ridiculously expensive fee for an occasional-use utility. I tried it, found it slow and unreliable and cancelled the subscription. Hours later, the bill for showed up. I’ve tried asking for a refund but have not received one. Apple App Store response was it was not eligible for a refund. This is a scummy way to do business. Hopefully enough people will 1-star this thing so others don’t get tricked the same way I did..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Scam purchases pro version during install without you asking for itThe install forces the pro purchase during setup unless you spot the notice under your finger. They then send a bad link in email to let you cancel the subscription so there is no way out and they do not respond to emails. I have had to remove my billing card from iTunes to stop payments and they continue to ask for money but will not cancel the weekly subscription..Version: 2.1
✓ EXPENSIVE APP- Deceptive SubscriptionWent to review the app and it directs an automatic payment that is NOT REFUNDABLE! Fraudulent and deceptive viewing practice that tricks viewers into an unintended purchase. BEWARE!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ Frais cachesOn na chargé 3 mois sans me demander $&$ 36$ de frais ...... je n'ai même pas utilise l'app.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Not free, confusing interface tricking you into being chargedThis app gives you a big blue “Continue” button when you open it which automatically enters you into a subscription for which you will be charged. You have to hit a small pale X to not enter into payment. The designers of the app should make the choice to use the free version or upgrade to a paid version more transparent, and there should be a way to cancel the subscription within the app of course. There’s also no option to get a customer service number or email to ask about charges. Also iTunes should make it easier to unsubscribe..Version: 2.3.12
✓ Ads pop up over the results.Add supported is one thing, having to click to a website of an ad in order to see results is a whole other league..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Tricks you into subscribing to PremiumI’m now on the line with Apple trying to get 20x$2.99 back. Over $50 for 20 weeks of charges from this App without the App even showing I’m in premium. That’s why I thought I was OK when I looked in the app even though while using my home button to get out of a wrong screen in the application it authorized the purchase of it. What a mess and yes it’s the application’s fault but everyone funnels through Apple to sort it out. I’m very, very frustrated now. I need a native app to read QR codes. Help!.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Scam to Erroneously Charge My CardI inadvertently purchased this app, and immediately went to settings to cancel it, but my iPhone would NOT allow me to cancel the purchase, because it shows a ZERO charge. It advertises that it is purchased, with a 3 day trial, afterwards my card will be charged. In a separate review, another customer cited a similar experience, and 3 days later he was charged $30. So, to avoid the charge, I contacted Apple Support to help me cancel the purchase. After 40 minutes, Apple Support said they could not cancel the charge. Apple suspects that the developer will charge my card, NOT Apple. How can the developer charge my card, when the developer does NOT have my credit card info? Only Apple has my credit card! Or did Apple share my credit card, with the developer? That’s the only way the developer could directly charge my card! BottomLine Apple should be able to help me to resolve this... Apple is going to charge my card, NOT the developer. Apple needs to close the backdoor, so that this does not happen! Hopefully, our complaints will prompt Apple to stop these erroneous charges to our cards!.Version: 2.3.11
✓ Free Version BadYou thin it is a free app until you try to use it and the big red “Remove Ads” is splayed across your screen irritating you to the point you click on it and find out it is $9.99 per month. I back out, the obstructive “Remove Ads” is displayed again with no ability to X this irritating banner. Then I tried my first scan and a employment add shows up and you spend time figuring out how to get out of that. I did finally get to my website, but I am deleting this program after one use..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Scam app - don’t useI downloaded this app as it looked like it was free. As soon as I’d downloaded it, it told me I was automatically signed up for the most expensive version of the pro app at £7.99 per month. This app is misleading and underhand as it’s not obvious this will happen when you download the seemingly ‘free’ app. This should be illegal - you shouldn’t be able to dupe people into purchasing something that they thought was free. I’ve cancelled it but I’m unimpressed - wish Apple would crack down on apps like this. It puts you off using the App Store..Version: 2.3.3
✓ How to cancel this stupid appOpen the Settings app. Tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.* Tap the subscription that you want to manage. Don't see the subscription that you're looking for? Choose a different subscription option, or tap Cancel Subscription. If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, the subscription is already canceled and won't renew. *If you don't see "Subscriptions" in the Settings app, tap "iTunes & App Store" instead. Tap your Apple ID (which is usually your email address), then tap View Apple ID. Sign in, scroll down to Subscriptions, then tap Subscriptions..Version: 2.3.4
✓ DONT GET A WASTE OF SPACEI got this to check something for my mum took me a couple of minutes to to realise that even though I clicked the button I didn’t turn on. Once I had sorted out that problem I tried several time and I didn’t work, there was also a thing to remove ads be careful I is a scam because this is what ends up happening. Hope this helps you and don’t make the mistake that many other people did.😡😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 2.2.8
✓ Scammer alert!!I downloaded the free version, which came through my iTunes payment history, correctly as free, then the premium version popped up that I DID NOT ORDER, and then was charged $7.99 three days later. I had other free readers that I deleted since I never used them. STAY AWAY!! They may tell you there is an iTunes page to cancel your subscription but it DOESN’T WORK!! HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE STILL ON iTUNES?!?! This is dishonest and criminal, even for India and Pakistan..Version: 2.3.28
✓ QR Code ReaderTrying to cancel a subscription after the three free trial days is extremely difficult..Version: 2.3.4
✓ I am deleting this appIt does not take you to the manufacturer of thr product, but assumes you want to buy it giving you advertising about it. On top of that they give you other unrelated ads. They get money for all the ads they show, but why show someone subscribe to have more junk?.Version: 2.3.8
✓ Too muchIt’s okay but they want to sell you more than you need.Version: 2.3.40
✓ AnnoyedRemoved the app but still was charged . Really annoyed 😡😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 2.3.15
✓ Be aware!! Auto-renew! Scam!!!Be aware!! Auto-renew! Scam!!!.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Not freeWhy in earth would I pay for this service?.Version: 2.3.35
✓ It might workI haven't tried it long enough to know how well it works. The first time I used it, there was a video ad for real estate that wanted to install an app. It eventually responded to the Skip Ad button, or it was simply finished running. I've had enough..Version: 2.3.34
✓ Search a fxxxx abb it will steal your moneyThis app show like Free but after few weeks later they send invoice if you received and found you are luck BC still have time and protect ur money. First down load and few weeks later the app automatically renew and steal ur money. Be careful.Version: 2.2.8
✓ Not the most effectiveRecently, it's started to present ads before I can access the link provided by the QR code. I don't remember the app was doing this before. Annoying..Version: 2.3.34
✓ Beware: they try to trick you into subscribing....It’s a QR reader. It works. However, I really dislike the underhand attempt to get you to sign up for a subscription (£3.99 per month). The subscription sign up screen is clearly designed to get you to click “accept” and there is very low prominence given to how to move past this (you need to click the microscopic light grey X to close the box, top right hand corner). It’s an example of underhand sales tactics, a lot of people fall for this - I work for a bank and I see daily the transaction disputes from customers (victims) who inadvertently chose the wrong option. Don’t fall for it. The companies who operate like this need to be giving equal prominence to how to access the free version as they do to subscription sign up. For this reason, I give them a 1 star. Poor behaviour from an App developer - in future, this type of activity will get regulated and you will get told to stop doing this. In the meantime, it is sharp practice. Do the right thing..Version: 2.3.13
✓ Scam!!I uninstalled the free version app months ago, but uninstalled it because I never used it. But I just noticed last week a $7.99 charge on my credit card for the pro version. I never requested the pro version, and I haven’t even had the app on my phone for months. I cancelled the subscription (that I NEVER signed up for, and yes, I know how they try to sneak the subscription in—I didn’t accept it), but unfortunately they won’t refund me any charges. Steer clear of this unethical developer..Version: 2.3.6
✓ SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE BE WARNEDThis app is free for 3 days but you have to unsubscribe after 2 days or else it charges you a subscription fee of £3.49. There’s no was to unsubscribe through the app, you have i do it through your itunes subscription manager. Basically it’s a scam. They say ta free for 3 days but it’s not. It’s crazily overpriced (£3.49 a month- that’s over £41 a year! for a QR scanner!!). They make it as awkward as possible to unsubscribe. There’s no obvious way, especially not for tech novices. Oh, it did work the 1 time I used it though....Version: 2.0.6
✓ Not usefulNo way to manually tell it to scan a particular area that may contain a number of barcodes. It tried to do a product lookup when all I want is to scan and copy to clipboard. Very expensive and full of ads. Not worth it..Version: 2.3.28
✓ Prices May VaryBought this once for work, used it once, then deleted it. Somehow, it continued to charge me for the following 6 months, twice a month for varying amounts each (fluctuating between $6-$13 dollars) I finally called iTunes and they said it was the same app (this one) that AUTOMATICALLY enrolled me into a subscription after a one-week free trial. There was no communication whatsoever about the subscription process and how it worked, as I only needed it in the one instance. And the fees for the subscription apparently vary week to week. TLDR: DO NOT purchase this app. I honestly do not know if it’s legitimate. It literally stole about $70 from me over the course of 6 months..Version: 2.2.8
✓ Absolute thieves.This app scams you into an automatically recurring monthly payment of £7.99 a month! It has been designed to be deliberately confusing to ensure you do not realise you have accepted this subscription... I only realised when I checked my Apple subscriptions months later. Possibly the most frustrating thing of all is that in all this time that I was paying without realising, I only used this app once. Do not download..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Total scam!I figured out how to stop it by just making a fake Apple Card and downloading it and going to settings to delete my subscription so I don’t get charged and if there charging your normal card and you already deleted it and it still charges you. You could make a Apple Card with no money and download it and then delete the subscription your welcome and don’t ever trade your phone to some dumb scam it’s literally pointless but make sure you follow the steps your welcome.Version: 2.3.4
✓ QrTerrible app, says it’s free then you open it and it wants 8 dollars, if you have finger print scan you might accidentally accept the fee.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Pay 2 winMoney.Version: 2.3.40
✓ This App is a ScamI don’t even know how Apple allows these shady things on the App Store. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. I downloaded it without reading the reviews at first. Saw the bogus pay plans they were trying to sell me so I came here to read the reviews. Saw all the reviews about the fraudulent charges so I went looking in the app to cancel my “free trial.” Went looking for a way to cancel from the app and all it gave me was the option to contact them about my subscription and I told them to cancel. Here I am months later and my CC statements show “Apple iTunes” charges of 8.65 for the past 9 months. Apple failed hard with this app..Version: 2.3.8
✓ TrashGot it to try and scan an apple sticker because i was bored, which is also why i’m writing this review. Didn’t work at all, not sure if i’m just dumb and don’t know how to use it though. Also what the heck is the other review for this app haha. Anyways wouldn’t recommend it..Version: 2.3.3
✓ No to dark patterns!!!!No to dark patterns!!!! As soon as you install the app and run it, it prompts with a dialog to agree to subscribe 'fo free'. Unless you accept the dialog, it doesn't scan codes. You accept the dialog. It turns out this will activate a paid subscription. This is very surreptitious and unfair. Let us TRY the app first and then AFTER three days or three scans or whatever ask us if we want to BUY. We do NOT want to provide you with an infinite revenue stream JUST to test your app once!!! It is unethical!!.Version: 2.3.28
✓ Barely a useable appGarbage. Slammed with Ads on every press of the buttons..Version: 2.3.41
✓ Beware $$$$This app (advertised as free) as a monthly cost which it automatically starts after a few weeks, even if you decline and/or delete the app. And it is a weekly debit which easily runs into hundreds of dollars a year. There are QR reader apps that are free and do a great job..Version: 2.2.8
✓ What a piece of ……Screams very loud at you with music and ads as soon as you turn it on and then freezes for a minute before you can cancel it. Or maybe the author just hates people. Couldn’t even read any codes I tried. Constant ads. Seriously bad and I had to share way to much info for it to work. Do not get this..Version: 2.3.27
✓ Enrolled in automatic renewalFirst off, the app didn’t do what I needed it to. Second off and more importantly, they enrolled me in an auto renewal $5/week premium package. Who would pay 5/wk for this crappy app. I deleted the app same day of course but found out a month later I had been charged $20+ over that time. Apple thankfully refunded me but I’m disappointed in this apps ethics. Apple should also have a function when deleting an app that has an active subscription to prompt user if they want to keep said subscription..Version: 1.5.4
✓ I have been charged for premiumI am really annoyed that I have been charged £8.99 for the last 2 months for the premium version without knowing the app automatically charges after the free initial download. I am contacting Apple to find out how this is allowed and would appreciate an explanation from Tiny Labs together with a full refund. If I knew this would happen I would never have downloaded this expensive version. If you can’t make your charges clear you shouldn’t be allowed to be on the App Store!!!.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Buyer’s bewareThis app signs you up to a $59 charge. Do not use..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Deceiving and underhandedI downloaded this app specially because it offered a 3 day trial, something I thought was a very good way of evaluating the quality of a product before purchase. Immediately after installation however it automatically automatically subscribed me giving me virtually no chance to stop the process. I then immediately uninstalled the app assuming I was within the 3 day trial. A couple of weeks later, so received an invoice from Apple for a month’s subscription and had to visit iTunes to cancel the subscription. Stay well clear of this app unless you really know your way around the iTunes/AppStore mess.Version: 2.2.13
✓ Do not downloadThis is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you download, you will be charged for a subscription. This tricks you into a subscription and is morally and ethically WRONG!!!!!! It makes it extremely difficult to “cancel” a subscription once it’s made even if it’s an accident. I canceled this right after I downloaded it to try and I STILL got charged! This is EXTREMELY bad for APPLE to have for purchase. It gives them a very bad name and I will share this information about this app to everyone that I know. Do not even think about using this app…all they want is your money!!!!!!!.Version: 2.3.30
✓ Beware of pop up which tries to charge you £7.99When downloading the app and the on app launch you are presented with a big blue continue button. This is presented as the continue button to start the app. Instead it is a button that gets you to subscribe to pro features after a three day free trial and at the charge of £7.99 a month. Luckily I spotted this and cancelled my subscription before the end of the free trial. Some feedback to the app developers, I think the process to subscribe should be presented differently, the pro feature should not be presented this way. I have now deleted the app and won’t be using it again..Version: 2.3.28
✓ Beware!This app will convert to subscription without you realizing it. It has been identified by Forbes as one of top grossing sneaky apps on the Apple Store. It converted without our knowledge to 7.99 per month subscription. It appears apps are only free until they start automatically billing you. Since this has been known by the likes of Forbes and others since 2018, the appearance is that Apple endorses this behavior. Also, take a good look at the reviews. The 5 star reviews aren’t even for this app. What a fraud! Beware!!!.Version: 2.3.3
✓ NopeOpens a subscription pop up immediately, accidentally purchased a $39 annual subscription without even a chance to read what it said. Cancelled immediately, but trust is lost. Super shady, will use a less tricky option..Version: 2.3.8
✓ IT ASKED ME FOR MY LOCATION?!?!I don’t understand why something so simple and of mundane use needs a £9.99 monthly subscription to unlock premium features?!! I only want it to scan my QR codes (which it does perfectly fine by the way) I didn’t ask for 12 adverts popping up every 30 seconds or any in-app purchases whatsoever. This is just another example of how ridiculously money-hungry app makers are these days. Why can’t you just charge 69p for the app and be done with it all I just don’t understand... Oh and then it asked me for my location. Someone explain that to me please..Version: 1.4.1
✓ BooDue to COVID-19 tracking at a store, I needed to download a QR scanner for a once off use. This came up as free and so I downloaded it. Turns out it automatically signs you up for subscriptions and I have been charged $51.99 for a years subscription!.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Deceiving theftI downloaded this free app and then noticed a charge on my credit card! I contacted Apple and they said it was a charge for an auto renewal subscription. This was never mentioned to me and I was never asked to confirm a payment of any kind. This is a scam in the hope that people either won’t notice the charge or won’t bother disputing the $5.99..Version: 2.0.8
✓ This app rips your money offRecently I’ve downloaded this app, because I thought it is a free one. During setting it up it asks to agree with terms and conditions, but also they add an information about monthly payment. The app developers are aimed at your carelessness to withdraw 7.99 usd every month. After I found out it, I deleted the app, but after 1 month I was still charged for the app. Please be cautious! App developers, it is not right that to do like this! You should inform so everyone can easily see that this app is not free!.Version: 2.3.27
✓ Take care when usingI too downloaded this app to scan one barcode, attracted by the fact I found it after entering Barcode Scanner Free into the search on App Store. However once it was downloaded a subscription option flashed up whilst I was holding it quickly followed by a thanks for subscribing message. Thankfully cancelling the subscription is easy if you follow the link through the email confirmation from Apple but beware you may be paying £2.97 a week after a few days of you’re not careful!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Completely Unworkable. Did Not Work a Single TimeRarely do I write reviews and the few times I have they were all fairly positive reviews. Nevertheless this complete piece of garbage App drove me to pop my “bad review cherry”. The app is entirely worthless and I feel like I was ripped off even though it was free. I scanned about 8 different pieces of merchandise which were all relatively popular items and all I got out of it each time was a full screen advertisement which I was required to close in order to view the pricing information. Unfortunately all that appeared was a blank screen. Same thing happened over and over with each of the 8 attempts and then I deleted the app and moved on to this review..Version: 2.2.8
✓ Hate itTerrible nothing showed and it try's to take your money by saying remove all ads it's stupid don't get it I'm warning you also it is not worth the money to remove ads obviously I didn't buy it but I'm sure it doesn't work any way also (sorry this is long) whenever you scan it it brings up another ad anyway don't listen too the five star raters the creator probably gave them money to write the.Version: 1.3.3
✓ How do I remove it properly.I uploaded didn’t see the subscription attached to it an info, but don’t down load soon as you do other stuff says free trial then will keep if you accept this doesn’t give you the option an if bank details are already saved then it takes automatically unless you do something or other which I really don’t understand at all so no I need to go to bank maybe get this payment stopped unless anyone can help me please!! Only give a one star because you have to rate with star otherwise it wouldn’t be getting a star at all.Version: 2.3.3
✓ :/Question why are you’s useing Samarian coding ? And tech The last time this was used it was to bring in a global new order since I know the UN want that. then that makes sense why you’s are testing it and changing the culture. It Annoys me when people take from our ancestors knowledge and use it with our there consents.....Version: 2.2.9
✓ Most intrusive ads everIt's seriously the worst I've seen. You can't even scan or see the result because of so many adds taking the whole screen over. Used it once, couldn't read the resulting website, deleted it..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Be very careful! How to unsubscribe.I downloaded this because I had one barcode I want to scan and just wanted something free and simple. Once I’d downloaded this I opened it and a message flashed up about subscriptions and it instantly took my thumb print (that’s how I hold my phone a lot of the time) so it changed to a message saying thank you before I had even read the first one (the message was visible for less than a second). I scanned my barcode and it couldn’t find a result. I then tried to find subscriptions so I could make sure I wasn’t going to be charged - I couldn’t find them anywhere in the app apart from one thing saying I was on a 5 day free trial. There was no option to end this trial so I figured I’d just delete the app and that would do the trick. It didn’t I’ve just been charger £4.95 for a week long premium subscription to an app and no longer have. How to unsubscribe: If you want to check or cancel your subscription you should go to the iTunes Store and click on your account at the bottom of the page. Under subscriptions it will come up and you have the option to cancel..Version: 1.5.5
✓ This app is a rip off. Strongly recommend not using itGot the pro version downloaded and installed. Ok it said it’s a subscription. Figured yearly no problem. Then it did not work. I contacts them. Left messages and no replies. I informed them I’m am removing the app and wanted a refund all within a week of installing it. No replies. Then today I get bills. For renewal $3.99 for renewal every 7 days. Had to call the App Store techs and that are currently trying to get me a refund. Beware of this product. It is a complete rip off..Version: 2.0.9
✓ WARNING! I you can be tricked into expensive subscriptionI had this for years on my iPhone an iPad after using the free version about 3 times. Then today I spotted an email saying I had subscribed for £4.49 per week, then another email with the next two weeks for the same price each. On what planet would anyone pay that much per week? I was definitely duped into subscribing. I really don’t think Apple should allow this sort of thing to happen to their customers..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Let me downHave to say this let me down. I don’t need to scan qr codes that often, but had this app for the odd occasion that I might need it. Tried to scan something the other day and I get the spinning wheel of death while it struggles to open a webpage Could’ve typed out the address 10 times whilst waiting for it. Tried again a few days later and the same thing happened. That’s it, I’m afraid - trust gone. Deleted..Version: 1.3.9
✓ Tricks you into a subscriptionDon’t use this app.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Put my money backI downloaded but removed at same day but they charged me .. too expensive.. I didn’t like that😡.Version: 2.3.13
✓ Annulations du forfaitNe pas prélever de montant $ provenant de mon compte. Je ne m’abonne PAS pour cette application.Version: 2.3.35
✓ Do not download- it will charge your account without your consent.This App offers a Pro version which automatically renews weekly for $3.99. I don’t recall signing up for the Pro version or authorizing a weekly renewal charge when I downloaded the App. It was only after noticing the charges on my card that I realized the App was taking my money. It is obviously nefarious behavior on the part of the App provider because they offer multiple rate plans (only discovered after I realized I was being charged) but it defaults to the the more expensive weekly renewal. I would not recommend this App..Version: 2.2.6
✓ This absolutely sucked.When I first opened the app it immediately asked me to sign up to the pro feature. When I were trying to get the image it gave me a http instead of the image. When I tried to get the image it only lead me to 404 error. It didn’t give me the image. Waste of time don’t bother buying it..Version: 2.3.21
✓ You will be subscribed - bewareI downloaded what I thought was a free app but I was immediately charged a fee without warning. I wrote this off for my mistake and told myself to take care in future. Well I certainly will take more care in future as I happened to go into my subscriptions today for something else and discovered I had signed up to pay £7.99 a month for this app. I had no idea it was a subscription so am absolutely appalled by this. This app should be taken off the store..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Duped into buying full versionI downloaded the free version and on first opening it went straight to a buy full version link. Unfortunately I didn’t notice as was wanting to scan something straight away, suddenly I’m being told my purchase was complete!! Not happy at all, very rarely have the need for a QR scanner and already had another free one anyway just wanted to try this one out. So be warned!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Scans WellThe app seems to want to find an item in its database- I only wanted to scan a barcode to verify the data encoded so the lookup was a bit annoying.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Scam! Scam! Scam!Please people don’t download this app!! It’s free to begin with but after 3 days they start a subscription of $14.99 a month without your permission and it’s a pain to get rid of.Version: 2.3.10
✓ ScamDo not install it. I needed an app to scan a barcode. I installed this “free” app and after a few days I was charged 10 dollars for MONTHLY subscription. I tried to cancel it but nothing happened, so I had to contact support to get rid of the app. Would someone pay for a barcode scanner $10 per month? Ridiculous!.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Be aware! Trick subscriptions!Downloaded app and don’t remember any screen asking to approve an annual membership fee of $30. Was charged $30 to my credit card linked to Apple. Realized 4 days later when I saw an unknown charge on my card and went into subscriptions in Apple. I cancelled the subscription right away, and it shows I have paid through next year. There is no listed grace period and it does not allow you to change to the 1 week subscription for $2.99 either. I am reporting it to my credit card company to try to deny the charge. Wish me luck..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Fishy pop up adsEvery time I scan pop ups for known scam websites like Starller appear..Version: 2.3.40
✓ Scam GarbageI have finger print scan on. I was trying to press the scanner to return to menu. It charged me for this useless app. Deceptive POS..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Kinda scam?Subscribed at $14.99 without knowing it. Should have read more carefully..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Waaaay too many ads - just use Google lolJust use Google app. Free and easy. This was great but waaaayyyyy to many ads. Upgraded in hope that basic respect for user had been realised but got hit with even more and longer ads!!! Delete this and just using Google app. Much quicker and easier..Version: 2.3.27
✓ Big fat conDownloaded this app I only used a couple of times and couldn’t find the product And by now 3 months have passed And one day I went to check my PayPal account and found they took £7.99 for 3 months and I didn’t even know , I never signed up for a premium qr reader and I never pushed a banner to yes I accept No email to say I am paying £7.99 a month or nothing PLEASE NEW AND OLD WHO GOT OR ARE GETTING THIS APP PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR ACCOUNT JUST IN CASE YOU GET DONE.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Be carefulUsed thumprint to download something else popped up and my thumb must have been still there as immediately said thank you for getting premium ad free version or something. Didn’t want this, you have to cancel subscriptions which isn’t easy to find on iPhone but found from a search. Stupid design, probably deliberate to try and scam money off you. Very poor. Barcode scanner only worked on 1 of the 4 things I tried so far and the result from the one that worked came up with a slightly different version and in German! Don’t bother..Version: 1.5.8
✓ App doesn’t work-AvoidDownloaded this app and after trying several times it doesn’t scan. Garbage.Version: 2.3.8
✓ ScamLike a lot of review . I had no idea it was charging my cc card . Damn u scammer . How did it get on apple store ..Version: 2.3.6
✓ Poor results for meI’ve been subscribing to this for several months. I paid in order to scan a barcode for a specific job. It didn’t work! I thought I’d come back to and get it working later. Long story short- it’s never worked for me. Cancelling subscription and deleting app. Does not focus the camera on my iPhone Doesn’t recognise bar codes. No use..Version: 2.3.41
✓ Scam ArtistI read some reviews started download/install which I saw double click peer button on IPhone 12 to in stall. Next I see a screen that I am enrolled in subscription service for $7.99 per month. Program hasn’t even installed yet and I hadn’t even had chance to open it. Needles to say, I deleted program immediately and IOS asked if I wished to cancel subscription which I did. It will be interesting to see if these shisters try to charge me for 1 month even though I never used program once I recommend not downloading this.Version: 2.3.28
✓ Scan appThis. App roped me off. It subscribed to a very expensive monthly sub. I did not even know I had subscribed. Apple should pull this app.Version: 2.3.10
✓ ScamI downloaded this app not realizing it cost $7.99 a month. I didn’t use it and deleted it immediately but see another post saying they were still charged for it. I went to the support page and tried to send them a message explaining what had happened but it wants me to choose a reason from a drop-down list, but when I tap on the arrow to try and bring up the list of reasons nothing happens and it won’t let me send my message without a reason. This is a total scam..Version: 2.3.6
✓ Bad applicationAfter 15 minutes, I deleted this application!!!! I lost me time!!!.Version: 2.3.4
✓ SCAM! DO NOT DOWNLOADI have no idea how this company has been charging me 2.99 for several months now, sometimes 2 and 3 times in one month. I wasn’t initially able to see the charge in my account manager then finally saw it had been charging me for months. I may have used this app once, like the one time I downloaded it because I needed a barcode reader. Now I get to fight with the company to try and get about 100 worth of charges back. Why would anyone authorize getting charged for this when there are tons of other barcode scanners that are free! TOTAL FRAUD.Version: 2.2.10
✓ !!Terrible app - scammed my Mum and stole her money!!This app is terrible and scams your money. Seriously. Says it’s free then charges. As other reviews have mentioned, if you have a finger print id be careful. My mum was charged $17.49 per week for subscription!!.Version: 2.3.13
✓ READ REVIEWS!I downloaded this app before reading the reviews. Should’ve read them first! I did hit cancel when prompted, but still not sure if it worked. I sent an email through the app to confirm cancelation, but it conveniently says that they have no power or way to check subscriptions, and state that it has to be done through iTunes. I deleted the app already. I checked my subscriptions, and it’s not on my list. I guess I’ll find out once I check my bank account later..Version: 2.3.11
✓ Scammer appBeware don’t even try to download the app. Otherwise you’ll get charged with yearly subscription unnoticed. I.Version: 2.3.5
✓ The app is brilliant but .The app is brilliant but the tricky post installation tactic is simply silly. Once it’s installed I got a screen with a start banner across it. My youngster clicked on it to realise that it is not starting the app but a 3 days free assessment followed by a paid subscription. Cheap trick because I was going to actually by the app till I saw this and no way ... I don’t respect companies that don’t follow ethical ways. If it wasn’t for that I would have given this app 5 stars and also bought the pro edition..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Didn’t workCouldn’t get it to scan a barcode. Uninstalled this and installed another scanner app (which worked immediately). Wouldn’t recommend this app..Version: 2.3.35
✓ Pop up ad scams via this appI used this qr scanner app to pay for parking. A generic payment form came up in my browser. But instead of paying for the parking it was a third party scam site/company called topline entertainment that immediately charged my credit card and doesn’t let you contact them or dispute the charge. Obviously I will never use this we scanner again..Version: 2.3.34
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADI only gave one star because I couldn’t give negative stars! This app appears to be free, but automatically sets up a £4.49/week!! Subscription from your apple account! You can cancel it but be quick so you don’t get charged - cancel through the ‘iTunes & App Stores’ options in settings. Google it to find exactly how to cancel. Absolutely disgusting that they attempt to con you out of such a ridiculous amount of money in such an underhand way. Disappointed that apple allow this sort of thing in their App Store as well. I expected better. Daylight robbery, avoid this app!!.Version: 1.5.5
✓ POS scamScam software.Version: 2.3.10
✓ ScamThis app tricks you into paying for a year subscription. No way to cancel even though 3 days is meant to be free.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Wrong datesI only got the app to be able to scan for COVID-19 check in. The scanner is easy to use, however the date was incorrect on both occasions that I used it (the date on the app was the day before I was actually at the locations)...which of course, completely defeats the purpose of checking in for covid tracking. The app also pushed me to subscribe for $13 a month (as in, I could t use it the second time until I subscribed), and I had to go into my subscriptions to cancel it.Version: 2.3.15
✓ App is a scamThis app is a Scam Apple need to take responsibility for criminal activity in the App Store. Do not download this app!.Version: 2.3.13
✓ Charged $45 for pro version but I never signed upI used this app for the first time in ages on Friday just gone, and I’ve just received an invoice from Apple thanking me for my payment/upgrade to the pro version. Funny thing is, I didn’t sign up to the pro version. I don’t want it. And I’ve never had much use for the free version anyway. I have had the app for years and maybe used it three times. Who would pay $45 for something they hardly ever use? I demand a refund immediately..Version: 2.3.13
✓ Pointless app...Everything i scanned is not on their data base... so it’s a pointless app... it didn’t matter what I scanned it just said “ not yet on our data base” this included most basic items from large supermarket chains... electrical item etc.. I have been using the app on and off for a long time and I keep wondering why I don’t remove it from my phone... then I think “oh maybe it’s got better” NA!!! Waste of time, I’m only glad I never brought it.Version: 2.3.4
✓ FraudThe App Store should do better than allow this junk to be at the no.1 position for "qr scanner". This app first wants to scam you into signing up for a paid program. After that I scanned a barcode. It uploaded the photo who-knows-where and then I got a 500 Internal Server Error from an asp page. First of all, there is no need to upload the photo anywhere. The iPhone is quite capable of reading a barcode on its own. So I think the photo was meant to be uploaded so my private data would be illegally sold. I have immediately deleted the app from my phone but it still feels like it was infected. Apple needs to ban this app right now!.Version: 2.3.34
✓ Dairy QueenFirst time ever have I tried something like this on my own. I’m nervous about it. But I know I can cancel n delete it if I don’t quite understand it. Thank you.Version: 2.3.41
✓ No different from the rest exceptThis app somehow charged me £7.99 and continued to charge me £7.99 for 3 months! Took me forever to figure out what was charging me, of course default setting for renewal receipts is ‘off’ thanks apple. I’m sure this app has good ratings from its free version but the pro version isn’t worth £7.99 a month, that’s more than subscription TV services and they’re not worth it. It’s obvious to me that they’ve priced it so high knowing that they’re methods to obtain subscribers is dubious at best, illegal at worse. Unfortunately that’s the way people think nowadays fast money with little effort by whatever means..Version: 2.3.11
✓ Do not download!!I downloaded the app and immediately got a email from apple that I signed up for a year subscription for $30. If you don’t read the fine prints when you download this app. It gives you 3 days for free then it automatically signs you up for a yearly subscription. Good thing I noticed it before they charge me. It was also really annoying to cancel (you have to click into your phone settings instead of directly on the app)..Version: 2.3.11
✓ Waste of time and MONEY!!! Sneaky app....This app makes a 3 free period then to charge you £8.99 for a month renewal! So difficult where to find where to unsubscribe and the iPhone camera can do the same job without charging you £9 for redundant software. The only time I found the unsubscribe feature was when my emails notified me today. Absolute ripoff and disgusting piece of money stealing software. Avoid at all costs....Version: 2.3.3
✓ AppIt’s what it says but it’s a really rough outdated app.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Needs more adsThe ads are huge, numerous and in your face, almost couldn't use the app due to the volume of ad content. Eventually got to scan the code, and like others said, just got a spinning wheel. Total waste of my time..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Watch out!! Automatic annual subscriptionIt’s a beautiful looking app, but very sneaky how it signs you up automatically for an annual subscription. Going into the options section of the app makes it look like you aren’t signed up yet which is extra devious in my opinion. To cancel your annual subscription, you have to delete the app and “manage subscription” before deleting - make sure to hit the “cancel subscription” link, if an annual subscription is not what you were intending to have..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Watch out — hidden charges!As another reviewer points out, the first time you use this app, the developer very subtlety slips past you an auto-renewal agreement, whereby you’re immediately charged after the “trial” period ends. Fortunately I read such a review, then went straight into my settings and, sure enough, I’d been enrolled without realizing it. The developer plays innocent in their replies to this criticism, but rest assured, they know exactly what they’re doing! There are many other options out there that won’t try to “trick” you..Version: 2.3.27
✓ Auto chargesI would give this zero stars if it would let me because it’s very unclear that it automatically put you in a subscription when you try it for one scan. All of a sudden $7.99 appears on your account and you wonder what it’s for because you didn’t subscribe for anything. I would advise you not to use this app their billing and auto charging technique is unacceptable. They got their $7.99 For our one scan and there’s zero star rating! If they’re on Facebook they’ll get a rating there too..Version: 2.2.12
✓ Sucks like hellIt sucks, not worth it and doesn’t even work 24/7. Overall it’s a freaking -10/10 and useless cause you can’t even scan stuff with it.Version: 2.3.34
✓ Not freePushing for monthly payments. Free versin did not work at all..Version: 2.3.41
✓ Good little scannerWorks well, very fast scans, ads not too intrusive. Expensive to get rid of ads. Would be better if it had an 'open in Safari' option..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Very Sneaky...Be careful of this app. It charges you a monthly subscription fee and makes it hard for you to cancel as well. Just installed and opened the app with my thumb still in the finger print scanner and a proceed subscription box pops up real fast and closes....what happened is you subscribed for a 5 or 7 day trial and then charged a monthly fee.....it was that fast I didn’t even see the initial trial days. Anyway...unsubscribing and deleting app.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Not workingAs soon as I got into the app, straight away the 3-day trial pops up, and I didn’t really want it as I only wanted to scan one thing. I tried tapping on the little x at the top, but it would not let me get out of trial pop up. I shut down the app and re-opened it, but it still didn’t close down trial pop up. I never even got to scan the thing I wanted to..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Be extremely carefulJust checked my accounts as didn’t even get any idea it was a app that has subscription just thought it was a free app and they have fleeced £33 since August and even double amounts of £2.79 per month? As well as double £3.49 one month? As the previous review stated there was no signal to state it was gonna cost anything i just used finger scanner to load app and then it just took my money.. scamming gits DO NOT DOWNLOAD AS THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Subscribed me without me knowing!This app was charging me $7.49 per month without me choosing the “pro” version!! Im not sure how long they have been raping my bank account! Would have used this app twice in years and it is of no decent value!!! Choose another one!!!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Rip offAwful.Version: 2.3.14
✓ I got scammedDo not get this app, I used it for 30 seconds to scan something so I could get into my local squash club then deleted it. I have just been charged 15$ for an app I did not used. Apple needs to take this down.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Don't even do it!!!!!😡😡This app should not be in the app store or google play. When I downloaded this app I was thinking oh thank you cause I've been looking for this app for ages. Then, I realized that this app is the worst u pay £8.99 for removal adds and that it doesn't even work. U scan the barcode then it just has this white paper and that has nothing on it. So now I had to rate this app at 0%, it's THAT BAD I HAD TO REMOVE IT FROM MY HOME SCREEN ON MY PHONE!!! Thank you for reading I hope u have the same understanding as me.Version: 1.3.9
✓ Needs your Visa cardI found myself downloading this app when in a restaurant as it was the only way they would let me view their menu. Opened this app and thought I would be able to scan menu and order. App requires my card details which I input only to find it was for the app and not to enable me to order off the menu. My ignorance for not realising but don’t know why they need this info..Version: 2.3.12
✓ SCAM appDon’t download this app. It is free to download initially but you will then be charged $7.49 within 3 days if you don’t unsubscribe your subscription through your Apple ID as there is no function to edit your account settings in the app to turn off the auto renewal..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Scam add.Opening the app would popup an add that ask you to pay for the service. It is not linked with this app and ask for your info and cred card. Beware. Please..Version: 2.3.35
✓ Scammed into paying $15 a month while advertised as freeScum.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Do NOT download this appListen to the reviews or you will regret it! Wish I had read the reviews on this app before downloading. Says free trial for 3 days. I tried the app didn’t like it and deleted it the same day! Be sure you go into settings and remove from subscriptions. It automatically add itself to them. Just deleting the app won’t stop them from charging you. Went to see why I was charged $8.55 from iTunes. $7.99 a month is what it states, yet my bank account shows $8.55 for this app and have zero other subscriptions..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Not bad but...The app seems to work fine however it is covered in ads and a huge red banner (which is really intrusive) asking you to upgrade to remove ads. The catch is the “pro” version is $10 a month subscription. No way! Not for as little as I would use it. If it was a reasonable one-time buy of a couple bucks, then no problem, but not a $10 monthly subscription. That’s ridiculous! I really had high hopes for this one....Version: 1.5.1
✓ Poor AppHad downloaded the app, however, wouldn’t let me scan any barcodes? Deleted it and re-downloaded it just too see if that would change anything. It had not. Poor app, defeats the purpose of a having barcode scanner really. Would look at other apps..Version: 2.3.3
