QR Scanner
Does the QR Scanner app have a history feature to revisit old scans?
Yes, the app includes a history log that saves all your previous scans. This is especially handy for retrieving information like Wi-Fi passwords or links days later without needing to scan again.
Can I generate QR codes with this app, or is it strictly for scanning?
QR Scanner is designed exclusively for scanning codes and does not include any QR code creation tools. If you need to generate a QR code, you'll have to use a separate app for that purpose.
Why does my QR code scan fail when the code is glossy or at a weird angle?
This app is actually quite good at handling difficult codes, but if you're still having trouble, try adjusting the angle or lighting. The built-in flashlight toggle can help in dim conditions, and the scanner is generally more reliable than your phone's default camera app for tricky surfaces.
The app feels slow or unresponsive when I tap on past scans in the history. What can I do?
Some users have noted that the history list can feel a bit clunky and unresponsive at times. A quick fix is to restart the app or clear its cache in your phone's settings, which often smooths out the interface lag.
How does QR Scanner compare to my phone's built-in camera scanner?
QR Scanner is significantly faster and more reliable than most built-in camera scanners, especially with glossy or angled codes. It also offers useful extras like a history log and a dedicated flashlight toggle, though it lacks the ability to generate QR codes that some competitors provide.
