Rating: QR & barcode scanners

Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader

gamed rating

The app gates basic features behind a paywall and, based on several reviews, asks for a high rating as a condition of access. Users who made it past that barrier note the scanning speed and support for multiple code types. Price comparison via Amazon and eBay leads to a generic search result rather than the specific product. History is saved with a photo.

About the rating

pct5 66 with only nrev 29, and the quality of five-star reviews is terrible. One review is about a drone ('absolutely useless for me, should be zero stars', clearly about a different app). One user writes directly: 'Had to give it 5 stars to access functionality. Do not rely on this review'. Several non-English one-liners with no content. Classic pattern of forcing a rating before unlocking features.

Strengths

What users love

  • Saves a scan with a photo of the product. Supports multiple code types. Fast camera response. Works as an inventory tool.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • Forcing a rating as a condition of feature access is manipulation of the App Store review system. Amazon price lookup leads to a generic search
  • Not the specific product. Part of the interface appears in Chinese with no language option.

Who it is for

Someone who needs photo-based inventory with export capability, if they can get through the monetization barriers.
