User Reviews

Overall sentiment is negative. The main issues are a heavy, expensive subscription model with trial charges and difficult cancellation. Functionality is inconsistent—some scans work, but many users report codes not being read or information not returned, and manual input or saving features are limited. A few users note quick scans when it works and minor features like saving generated barcodes, but these positives are far outpaced by the recurring complaints about price, access, and reliability.

Pros

Basic QR/barcode scanning works when functional.
Dedicated scanning workflow beyond the native camera.
Some reviewers express positive sentiment and gratitude.
Ability to generate/save barcode images within the app.

Cons

Heavy subscription model with high prices (e.g., $7.99/week, $24/month).
Trial charges and unauthorized charges; difficulty canceling; no clear cancellation button; weak support.
Core functionality is inconsistent or nonfunctional (codes not read, cannot input manually, no product info).
Paywall blocks basic features; many tasks require subscribing to access results.
Multiple users accuse the app of misleading pricing and behavior that feels scam-like.

Recent reviews

Downloaded this to scan codes within images. I feel as though I’m young and competent which is why I’m totally unsure as to how this app was greenlit to take the amount of money it did from me. If you have a connected payment method, it apparently took very little to activate a free trial (unbeknownst to me) and I can’t believe a service like this isn’t free
