This app is quick at capturing the code, while you try to focus it has already done it for you.

Poor quality app let down by built in adverts. I tried to scan a code and the application took far too long. The way the application produces the results of a scan make the app difficult to use. I'd honestly ban apps of this low quality from the play store if I called shots at Google.

I hate getting ads on home screen, so purposefully searched for apps with no ads and found this app. But after installing, it asks to choose either accept to get targetted ads or generic ads to use the app. I would prefer to give negative rating if that option existed, for mis-informing.

Very nice looking, fast and does a better job than my Samsung app.
