## Description

The simplest QR Reader for iPhone, designed to scan QR codes, barcodes, PDFs, business cards, and even puzzles. Auto-detect scanning means you just point and hold to capture results, then share via email, Messenger, Facebook, or Twitter.

It also turns your iPhone into a portable PDF scanner, lets you create QR codes (export as PNG or SVG), exports scans as CSV, and supports NFC scanning on compatible devices. You can browse products, deals, and coupons, and subscriptions like TapMedia PRO and Database Scanner unlock additional features.

## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Some users praise the app and its QR reader when it works, but others report reliability and usability issues—scans failing to recognize items, glitches, redirects to other apps or sites, and slow loading of features. Overall, the app shows potential with positive sentiment when functioning, but consistency and UX improvements are needed.

### Pros

- I love this app!
- This works well—the QR reader feature is useful and should be adopted by other apps.
- Overall positive feedback about the app when it functions properly.

### Cons

- Doesn’t recognize scanned items or misreads barcodes.
- Glitchy app / unstable performance.
- Free QR code scanner? Not hardly—keeps redirecting to a scanner app I deleted.
- Not clear on how to operate; scanning sends me to a FIDO website.
- Some features load slowly (e.g., waiting for the phone number part to load).
