Users appreciate the QR Scanner (PFA) app for being free, open source, ad-free, and privacy-friendly with minimal permissions. It reliably scans various barcode types and provides control over scanned content. However, common issues include an unremovable beep on scanning, occasional focusing difficulties, limited features for saved codes, inability to scan from gallery images, and some instances of app crashes or freezing.

Thank you! Scans different barcode types as well. Only thing missing is micro QR codes. This is the old style of "free software": High quality, no ads, no bait, no privacy infiltration - just a blessing for the world. 💚
