Rating: QR & barcode scanners

QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App

gamed rating

The in-app review prompt forces a five-star rating, which is direct manipulation. Basic scanning works, but the flow has regressed after updates. Monetization is aggressive with stacked popups.

About the rating

storeAvg 4.74, textAvg 4.10, pct5 72%. One user explicitly documents the mechanism: 'guessing it has such a high rating as the in-app review only allows you to rate it 5 stars'. Among reviews: a restaurant in Morocco, food orders, Sunday lunch. Real issues include scanning QR for 2FA opening Google instead of returning the code, and the auto-send flow breaking after an update.

Strengths

What users love

  • Simple QR-based login instead of typing a username and password.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • After an update
  • The automatic redirect after scanning was removed. You now need a manual step
  • Which is annoying during repeated use.

Who it is for

Users who need basic scanning for account logins and do not mind dealing with popups.
