Some users praise Knox Capture for being easy to use and feature-rich, with positive vibes like “love it” or “best app.” However, a clear pattern of instability emerges: frequent crashes, not opening, and compatibility problems on various devices.

Overall, reliability and privacy concerns outweigh the positives for many users. ### Pros - Easy to use - Generally good with useful features - Positive overall sentiment (love it / best app) ### Cons - Frequent crashes / not functioning across multiple reviews (app crashes on launch, refuses to start, closes automatically) - Device compatibility issues on several models (not working on Galaxy A14, tablet Blu M8L, etc.) - Security/privacy concerns (claims of hacking/hijacking by others) - Misleading free-scan limits and pay-after-100 scans (claims of free scans used up or need to pay) ## Similar extensions and apps - [Barcode & QR Scanner Keyboard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nikosoft.nikokeyboard) — 395,007 users, 3.68 / 5 - [Scandit Keyboard Wedge](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scandit.KeyboardWedge) — 9,945 users - [SwiftWedge by Honeywell](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.honeywell.pss.sdswiftwedge) — 1,129 users - [Scanner Keyboard](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tecit.android.barcodekbd.demo) — 476,961 users, 3.95 / 5 - [Cuckoo SerialSnap](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cuckoo.app.serialsnap) — 231 users - [Asset Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.abyss.qrscanner) — 8 users - [Scandit Express](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scandit.KeyboardWedge2) — 13,042 users - [Klir Smart Capture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.klir.smartcapture.klir_smart_capture) — 83 users - [DataScan](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.keitgen.datascan) — 164 users - [Scanner Pro (1D and 2D Codes)](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sacredwits.scannerpro) — 25 users - [Barcode Keyboard : Scan & Type](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bioruststudios.scanner.ime) — 105 users - [R.Scan+](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.desiwah.rscanplus) — 17 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.samsung.android.app.smartscan)
