Scans QR codes using your webcam.

Description from store
Scans QR codes and displays their contents on a Chromebook or other computer with a suitable webcam. What's a "suitable" webcam? It's one that can focus the QR code within the red square in the app sharply enough that the app can decode it. My test results:
- Chromebook Pixel: yes
- Samsung ARM Chromebook: yes
- Acer C7 Chromebook: yes
- CR48: yes
- 2009 MacBook Pro: yes, except for very small, dense QR codes
- 2011 iMac: no, unless the QR code is ridiculously large (over one foot across)
If Chrome implements an API to let developers adjust camera-focus settings, I'll be able to improve the app to work with more cameras.

- (2019-07-29) Giancarlo Barrizzi: Does not work on any of my devices (PC, Chromebook), says wrong code, whereas other Android app can decode fine.
- (2019-03-04) Jill Doyle: It worked for a while, but now my camera light comes on and nothing but a black screen with 2 intersecting red lines on the top left side of my screen. Does anyone know how to fix it?
- (2019-01-30) Akua Afriyie: it just showed black and thats it
- (2019-01-16) Kyle M Daly: Unfortunately doesn't work anymore with Chrome OS Version 71
- (2019-01-14) Mike McLaughlin: It worked well. We were using it on the chromebooks in our school district. It looks like Chrome Version 71 broke the app. It will not allow access to the camera any longer. It just opens a black box with a pulsating red scanner line. Same thing on chromebook and pc with Chrome Ver 71.

- (2018-10-09) John R. Sowash: An essential tool for elementary teachers! Makes it so much easier for students to visit websites!
- (2018-07-09) Does not work...

- (2017-03-05) Salvador Matta Jr: The app didn't read the QR Codes I need. Tried from close to far away.
- (2016-09-08) Georgia Sheldon: Works well for schooling systems
- (2016-04-26) Idan Ralbag: not working
- (2016-03-01) mike winsor: it works great for me, quick, focused, shows me where to center QR, easy.
- (2015-12-25) Blake Powers: This is a ok Qr reader but needs improvement. It sometimes doesn't read the Qr correctly, and you need the scan the Qr without shaking the paper or else the camera will get fuzzy.
- (2015-12-10) Anthony Clough: Simple doesn't work on my Samsung chromebook.
- (2015-11-08) MARINA KLOSE: QR SUPER APP
- (2015-11-08) liLwizchildKhasifa: it failed to recognize the QR C0DE after trying to troubleshoot 5 times.
- (2015-10-05) Shameka Edwards-Crittenden: Horrible! Impossible to use because its upside down and has to be used in reverse
- (2015-09-08) Glenn Johnson: dont work
- (2015-09-04) Oz L: This app works for me so far, good response time. once you get used to it, scan QR is no problem. works on Surface Pro 3s.
- (2015-08-26) Logan Summer: It dosent read
- (2015-08-24) Jacey Erickson: Didn't work
- (2015-07-31) Jeffrey Dow: It works pretty well, but uses the wrong camera on my tablet, with no way to swap.
- (2015-06-07) gianna chan: The app didn't read any QR codes whether they are right in front or far away. After two tries, the camera turned all fuzzy. It's a shame since it's the only one in the store.
- (2015-05-15) Omid Seyedzadeh: best qr scanner
- (2015-05-09) Tony Scardina: Seems to work perfectly on Windows 7 Professional, but on the same hardware running Kali Linux, it does not work. I used "gstreamer-properties" to test the webcam itself, and it works inside Kali. I would have given five stars if not for this.
- (2015-04-22) Josh Halterman: Didn't work for me
- (2015-03-26) Flawless indeed. Works like a charm.
- (2015-02-20) Jonathan Holden: didnt work
