1. [R15] QR Code Reader · 3/5 · US App Works, but hate the Ads: I appreciate the functions that I’ve used on this app, like creating QR codes for visitors too easily scan and log onto the proper WiFi network. In that respect, I think it’s well-programmed, but the Ads are frustrating me. I don’t use this app very often (so not paying $10/mo for a Pro subscription), but I’d say that about 1/3 of the time I’ve spent on it has been wai
2. [R38] QR Code Reader · 5/5 · US BEST QR CODE READER APP IN APP STORE!!!: Developers made some big improvements with this app in 2025. It’s faster and scans any QR code instantly even makes a confirmation sound. Clean interface. Good utility app
3. [R68] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 5/5 · US QR code Scanner: Makes lightning into accounts very much easier than having to type out my email and password over and over. Highly recommend!
4. [R4] QR Code Reader · 2/5 · US Easy: Too difficult for an elderly person to
5. [R96] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 5/5 · US LOVE IT!: I am 70 years old and even I can work this. That is saying a lot if you knew me. Thanks guys for your hard work.
6. [R102] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 5/5 · US Best QR code scanner out there: Easy to use
7. [R23] QR Code Reader · 4/5 · US crashes: i like using this app a lot but for some reason it keeps crashing, it’s getting a bit annoying but the app is really good!!!
8. [R35] QR Code Reader · 1/5 · US Doesn’t scan: Waste of time. Doesn’t scan anything.
9. [R67] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Horrible does not work: Horrible does not work
10. [R1] 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.
11. [R27] QR Code Reader · 1/5 · US $9.99/month…Greed is a thing.: So I have to set everything up to subscribe just to use it for free for 3 days..then it’s $9.99/month for a QR reader. But hey that covers all the necessary updates and new features…FOR A QR READER. I’d give this minus stars just for the greed. NO THANKS.
12. [R61] 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.
13. [R64] 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.
14. [R39] QR Code Reader · 1/5 · US No option to cancel: The advertisement says 3 days free trial but after I downloaded this app there was no option to cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15. [R41] QR Code Reader · 1/5 · US Scammers: Stay away from this app, it tries to auto bill you. SCAMMERS
16. [R97] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · US Be Very Careful. Bad business practice: I used this ONCE to scan a coupon. Never got the Normal Apple box that confirms a subscription. I just happened to look at another subscription & I was charged for $19.99 for a scanner when I used them once in a blue moon. I would have NEVER confirmed this. Bad business practice when they charge ppl without their knowledge!! Not happy at all!!
17. [R70] 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.
18. [R111] QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App 1/5 · GB Not free!: Click on "continue free" and the ApplePay screen pops-up. Updated, same experience. Deleted.
