Ratings and reviews

Generally don't give feedbacks but this app is something that needs attention and appreciation,only one star deduction and that's for my request you to please provide short vibration when scan is done currently only long vibration pattern is available please try to give an option to switch between these two :') thankyou.

An Okay foss qr scanner with no strings attached. Similar foss app (which is incompatible with newer android versions) can write scanned code directly to history without confirmation popups. It would be nice to also have that feature there.

The app does everything you would expect. With a sleek customizable design and no ads that's one of the best apps you can get around here. You can make like every type of barcode and in the qr code menu you can choose from simple text to Appsharing to contacts and events (11 options for QR-Codes and 12 different barcode types) For the developer: - add descriptions for the bar codes it can be a little confusing which to use - make more cool apps + don't give up
