An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The app works inconsistently and is aggressively monetized through ads. Users report camera aiming errors, inability to create custom QR codes (only from a fixed template list), and a limit of one free generation. Ad load is extreme, reportedly more than 12 impressions in two minutes per one tester. Basic QR scanning sometimes works but is unreliable.

I searched pdf417 generator and this came up first. It does not let you make your own codes at all in any form you have to pick from a list ex. Contacts, Wi-Fi, Facebook etc.
