## Review summary

Users praise the app for being easy to use, fast, and accurate across a range of codes, including from photos, and for its lightweight, convenient feel. However, multiple reviews highlight problems after updates: intrusive ads and redirects, occasional scanning failures, and UI glitches when handling images from the gallery. Overall, strong core scanning performance is tempered by ad-related annoyances and some reliability/UI issues.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user-friendly
- Fast and efficient scanning
- Accurate and reliable across QR codes and barcodes (even with poor prints)
- Can scan codes from photos/images on your device
- Lightweight and convenient, often faster than a dedicated scanner

### Cons

- Some users report scanning failures or inconsistent performance in certain cases
- UI/navigation glitches when selecting an image from the gallery (e.g., can't resize, harder to go back)
