Ratings and reviews

Works like a charm, fast, simple & open source. Great!

Simple, fast, exceptional data privacy and safety.

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 😃
