About this app

"The ""Hack Check"" app is designed to enhance your QR code scanning experience by providing a layer of security and control that most standard QR readers lack. When you scan a QR code, instead of being automatically directed to the embedded website, Hack Check presents you with the URL first. This allows you to review and understand where the QR code is taking you before you visit the site, offering a crucial security check to prevent phishing and malicious attacks.

Key features of Hack Check include:

URL Visibility and Editing: Upon scanning a QR code, the app displays the embedded URL. You can then edit this URL, giving you the flexibility to modify the destination address before your browser launches. This is particularly useful in situations where a QR code might redirect to unintended or harmful websites.

Tracking Code Stripping: Hack Check can automatically detect and remove known marketing and tracking codes embedded in URLs. This not only ensures a cleaner browsing experience but also enhances your privacy by preventing marketers from capturing your tracking data.

Preliminary Site Research: Before you proceed to a website, Hack Check offers a feature to conduct quick research on the site’s origin and credibility. This includes looking up the site's location and other pertinent information that can help you decide whether or not to visit the site.

By integrating these features, Hack Check not only protects you from potential cyber threats hidden in QR codes but also gives you greater control over your digital interactions, ensuring a safer and more informed browsing experience."

A very bad app all it is, is a quick cash grab with 1000s of adds all the time when you try to do anything and you only get to do one thing before you have to pay a stupid price to check more emails/gmails or Facebook accounts over all a very bad app and a scam.
