FRAUD link compromised my information and bank!!! I have reported this app to reportfraud.gov!!!! I scanned a QR code to pay a bill and clicked on one of the links! My bank notified me of suspicious fraud!! When I went back the link had said "ad" There is NO way to contact customer service!!! Even if it was an "ad" link. Why would you use fraudulent ads on your app!!! Be VERY careful!!! I suggest everyone who this has happened to, REPORT it!!! I will do everything I can to let people know!!!

the app works fine, but when my mom, who wasn't familiar with it, used it on my phone for something, she naturally clicked on the "OPEN NOW" and not the link. she then handed the phone back to me to fill out and I then needed to cancel my debit card as the ad placement directly led to a scam site.

This app was awesome for years but now they want to sell your personal data to third parties! You have to manually opt out of like a hundred individual checks and hope you didn't miss anything. I should have never let the app upgrade, but the changes claimed that it was for bug fixes. A shame to see this kind of change to one of the best free apps on here.

Scam alert! Don't click the ad on accident! I scanned the QR code to activate my credit card and a button in the middle of the screen said "Open" with the word "Activate" above it looked like the way to open the link but it was a link to a scam! I didn't realize it until I had put in my card info and even though I cancelled, it tried charging my account as soon as it was activated.

They support scam ads. Was at a restaurant that you had to scan your tables QR code. Took me right to a site that asked for the normal credentials. Turns out it was for something totally different, some "digital membership" that you can't cancel. So now I'm having a headache explaining to my bank how it's a scam and I did not make a purchase for $39.99.

The app is very quick and, in my opinion, intuitive. My reason for the 4 star instead of 5 star rating is the placement of the scanned barcode image below the ad. The decoded text of the barcode is at the top, and the barcode image should be placed next. Instead, an ad comes next (no criticism of the advertisement, dev has to be paid for their work) with an Open button. This arrangement implies that the Open button is pressed to see search results, but it opens the ad.

DO NOT USE THIS SCANNER!- This is connected to scamming companies! I used it to reactivate a PBS account on Roku and when I clicked a link on my phone it took me to something that was not PBS (I didn't realize that). I stupidly gave my credit card number and they said my account would not be charged. It was charged right away. When I try to login to their website it does not allow me to. I've had to lock my debit card and go through the process of changing all my billing accounts. BEWARE!!

Works as expected, though ads are not vetted for deceptive practice. Most ads have a big call-to-action button beneath them, either "Open" or "Install". This button is not an obvious part of the ad and schemed to look like a functional part of the app. When showing the "Open" button, it is entirely too easy to confuse with a button that would open the link decoded from the barcode. Although the ad is labeled as such, it needs to be visually framed. Until that happens, this app is deceptive.

Deceptive ads are allowed directly underneath scanned links. I knew to look out for them, and still one day it caught me off guard. I went to pay for parking in a new city and, with the glare of the sun making it difficult to see my screen, I clicked on the ad by mistake. It took me directly to a page to fill out my credit card info, and thinking that I was paying for the parking I filled it out and got my credit card stolen. That experience prompted me to find a better app to use.

Was trying to sign up for a limited time thing, and downloaded this to use the QR image. The ads are deceptive and was just vague enough for me to believe it was the correct website. I put in my email/phone number and have been inundated with spam calls/emails non-stop, even 2 am. They could've set it up in a way that clearly indicates you are viewing a different website than the one you wanted, but they probably make more money if you trust them and fill out the ad. Use any other qr scanner
