The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.

Findings and evidence

0 published · 4 shown, not confirmed

One source only — shown, not confirmed 4

Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.

Usable without an account

One source only

The store privacy disclosure (8 entries) links no contact details or identifiers to the user — consistent with an app that does not require an account. Self-reported by the developer.

Sources: The store privacy disclosure
Agreement: Only one kind of source so far. Shown, not counted.
Where measured: From the App Store privacy disclosure

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

Definition

The app's own screens offer a way past sign-up — guest access, skipping, or browsing before registering — rather than gating the product behind an account. The store's privacy disclosure is checked alongside it: that disclosure is self-reported, so it corroborates this credit rather than establishing it.

Open evidence

Aggressive ad load

One source only

Aggressive ad load: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (1.2% of 508 reviews scanned)

Sources: User reviews
Agreement: Only one kind of source so far. Shown, not counted.
Where measured: From App Store reviews

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

Definition

Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.

Open evidence

Hard to cancel

One source only

Hard to cancel: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (1.6% of 508 reviews scanned)

Sources: User reviews
Agreement: Only one kind of source so far. Shown, not counted.
Where measured: From App Store reviews

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

Definition

Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.

Open evidence

Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording

One source only

Constant upsell pressure: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (1.0% of 508 reviews scanned)

Sources: User reviews
Agreement: Only one kind of source so far. Shown, not counted.
Where measured: From App Store reviews

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

Definition

Declining an upgrade is written as a loss ('No thanks, I don't want to improve'), or users report being repeatedly pushed to subscribe during normal use.

Open evidence

Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.

What reviewers report

508 reviews read · 3 review-based observations

508 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.

Aggressive ad load

Shown, not confirmed

Too many ads — To many ads once again can’t do anything when every 5 seconds a pop up ad appears
3★ · App Store · 2025-07-31

Way too many ads and moments of trying to make me pay for stuff — It’s a qr reader and they are asking for a subscription service for this 🥀
1★ · App Store · 2025-07-23

Too many ads — Decent scanner, but multiple ads before you can use it. Very annoying! There were several codes it couldn’t decode.
1★ · App Store · 2025-07-21

Hard to cancel

Shown, not confirmed

Unwanted subscription — Somehow I got subscribed to this app and I cannot cancel it!
1★ · App Store · 2024-12-07

Don’t download — They make it impossible to cancel your subscription - you’ll be charged endlessly for a completely pointless app. Huge mistake.
1★ · App Store · 2022-12-07

Can’t cancel!! — I signed up for a free trial of Qrscan and it says easy to cancel. I no longer want this but can’t find where to cancel.
1★ · App Store · 2022-11-29

Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording

Shown, not confirmed

Awful — The barcode function works (earning the one star) but the spam and popups to get you to subscribe is abysmal UX. Hiding the x using color matching to the background image is disgusting, anti-consumeristic and downright…
1★ · App Store · 2026-02-13

Notifications are insane — Sent 8 notifications at the same time asking me to upgrade and give feedback. Here’s my feedback
1★ · App Store · 2024-07-16

DO NOT download this app! IT SQUEEZES YOU FOR MONEY! — If you download this app, it won’t be long before you’ve paid $20 for a full year of the app. You basically can’t use any features of the app without entering a trial and they set the…

Measurements

5 measured · 3 not assessed

Supporting measurements. They are not a complete list of possible harms or positives. “Not assessed” means we could not measure it — never zero, never a pass.

3 or more themes reported

Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.

Five-star share of ratings

80–89% five-star

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

How the automated analysis works

This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.

No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.

There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.

Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.

Limits of this report

A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.

Not yet human-reviewed. A hands-on test can confirm or contradict a finding and adds its own measurements; it does not change a measurement row. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
