Ratings and Reviews
🤔 legit? or scan scam❓
Edit: dev gave a spot-on reply to my concern. He also makes an app for Sonos which looks to be excellent.
original review: I've had this app a while, but I've never used it. I have no way of determining whether it is legit. In the app there is no info about the developer, no privacy policy, nothing that will tell me that I shouldn't worry about this. This is an opportunity for the developer to reply:
Developer Response ,
Hi, i understand your concerns. The privacy policy is linked in the App Store page, not directly in the app. I will add this in the next version. I made this app because I always wanted to have a look to the data/url in a code before visiting that site. That's why this app is really made with maximum user privacy. No login, no tracking, no analytics, no history. Just scan any code, look a the "raw" data inside and then decide what you want to do. Share the "raw" data with AirDrop or visit a URL if it looks ok. The app is free but you can make a donation via in app purchase if you like. If you have any additional question just use the support contact address visible at the App Store page.
