Ratings and reviews

Really nice app. I regulary use it to share links and strings across devices without having to go online.

Very clean app, open source, no ads. Has a lot of functionality, so not very user friendly. You need to know what you're doing. Also can't set to open websites automatically. Not a good choice for those who just want to scan and open urls. Edit: Developer added the functionality to open urls automatically. Thanks dev 😃

Just do what it's supposed to do, while being lightweight and simple. Plus it's opensource.
