Here's me downloading APK's for it :grin: I think £2.99 for a bubble level is a bit steep if it were as simple as £1 or so I wouldn't mind Thanks for the post OP and for this post

I just read the new iOS 11 update puts a QR code scanner in the main camera app. My Samsung phone has a stock app called 'Optical Reader' that does QR codes, but it's a shame phones are only now starting to come with QR code readers by default. I wonder if they'll have a resurgence now.

Yes 10 years after the release of the first iPhone, iPhone 5s users and above finally get an inbuilt QR code scanner with iOS 11. Now that’s what I call progress!

Still sounds better than the Google approach of handing you great features then taking them away. QR code scanner used to be inbuilt into the Google Now app but was subsequently removed, just like how they removed text selection on any screen from Google Assistant.

I use Google goggles for my QR codes... Pretty cool for similar image searching too

The ZXing Barcode Scanner is free/open source, it works fine for me anyway. play.google.com/sto…oid

Yep. This is the only barcode/QR scanner you need. Safe and no bloatware. I don't know why you would go for a commercial scanner that includes advertising packages and demands unnecessary permissions to track you

Yes but zxing one seems to need a lot more permissions than this one. I worry about apps raping my phone info

The permissions are explained under the 'More Info' section on the Play Store or the GitHub site: github.com/zxi…ons
Contacts and bookmarks permissions needed so that app can generate a QR code for any contact/bookmark in your phone which you can share with others.

But I don't think it does QR codes?

It does, and it's literally the most popular scanner on the platform. Obviously, people think it doesn't because it's called Barcode scanner, but I can guarantee that most of the QR scanner apps use the ZXing framework to read them.

Good enough for Google as well! If you download their 2 step authenticator, they get you to download this, rather than their own Google Goggles app.

Why does this app need permission to record video? Use the camera to take a picture or scan yes but record?

I've never seen a prompt for "Allow x to take pictures". I guess if something has Camera permissions that in turn allows it to record video also. Not that it does. Correct me If I'm wrong.

Because when you hover for auto detect it'll be basically recording a video that whole time I'd of thought.

What sets this apart from all the other free barcode-scanning apps?

Why is the link showing the normal version and not the Pro version which is not free?

Just scanned a few things in but it just came up with gobbledygook. Is it supposed to show the price? Mine doesn't.
