1. [R1] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Too expensive: $15 a month for an app that I might use 5 times a year. I’ll do without a QR scanner before I pay that much. I deleted my app.
2. [R4] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Not free: Was a good app when it was free. Not paying $3.99 a week for an app you use 5 times a year.
3. [R16] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Refund denied: I haven’t used the scanner for a couple years and the last time I used it it was free and then when I recently used it, they enrolled me in a weekly fee of $10.66 a month They supposedly now canceled but will not return the two weeks they charge me for
4. [R34] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · GB Disappointed: I have used this on odd occasions for years but now they want nearly £10 a month for something I rarely use so not going to do that.
5. [R10] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Only 3-day free trial: Only 3-day free trial until you’re automatically charged every month. The MULTIPLE pop-up ads for paid version (3 in a row!) was last straw. Awful.
6. [R14] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Disappointing: I’m not falling for a scam. “Continue for free but also subscribe? Shady ahh app. It’s disgusting
7. [R22] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Bad: After update too many commercials, you can’t even use it. Every time something pops out on the screen, you exit something else pops out. Very frustrating.
8. [R26] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Absolute Sham: Requires you to opt-in to an add-free subscription after explaining you don’t have to pay for the add-free version. The app opens with a screen that has two buttons: 1 button says Continue with free version and 1 button says View Plans. When you click on either button your iPhone opens the bottom-of-the-screen security dialogue box and it advises you to Double click your side versio

17. [R65] QR Code Reader · 2/5 · US Used to love but no more: I used to love this app and I had the pro version. I just cancelled it due to the ads. I probably wouldn’t have minded them but it was the kind of ads where they have x’s so small or light that you can’t get out of the ad as it try’s to force you to get whatever product it is for. It was a great product but they ruined it.
