Fake QR stickers on parking meters. Fake delivery notices in the letterbox. Phishing emails with a code to "confirm your account". A QR code is a link you cannot read, and scammers know it. QR Snap shows you where a QR code really goes and checks it for scams before you open it. SEE THE REAL DESTINATION • Short links and redirects are followed to the page they end on, so you see the real site, not the sticker's address • See when the website was registered: most scam sites are days or weeks old • Nothing opens until you tap CHECK FOR SCAMS • Checked against Google Web Risk and a public list of active phishing sites • Spots fake brand names (paypal-secure-login.com is not PayPal), misspellings like paypa1, look-alike letters from other alphabets, and the "@" trick • Flags payment and sign-in pages on free website builders, a common setup for fake parking and delivery sites • Plain-language results that say which checks ran and what they found • Pattern checks run on your phone for every scan, free; email domain checks are unlimited SCAN FAST • Live camera scanning for QR codes and barcodes • Scan from gallery images, or share an image with a code straight to QR Snap • Batch camera scanning for several codes in a row • The right action for each code: open link, call, SMS, join Wi-Fi, save contact, add event, open map and more CREATE AND SHARE • 13 types of QR codes and barcodes: links, text, email, phone, SMS, Wi-Fi, contacts, events, location, social profiles, product barcodes, ISBN and custom barcodes • Share a link, text, contact or event from any app to QR Snap and the right QR generator opens, already filled in • Add your own logo or a built-in icon; save, export and share • Home screen widgets: Quick actions (Scan, Gallery, Create, Clipboard) and Pinned QR, which keeps one of your codes on your home screen FREE • Scanning and creating are free • 1 full link check every day, plus 2 more for each optional rewarded ad (up to 4 ads a day) • One Pinned QR widget and the Quick actions widget • Ads support the free version LIFETIME UNLOCK (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • No ads, ever • 2 full link checks per day, +2 for each short ad; add credit packs if you need more • Batch scan from gallery • Backup, restore, export and share • Point of Sale tools on your device: products, checkout and reports • Pin as many QR codes to your home screen as you like • Restores with your Google account LINK CHECK CREDIT PACKS • Starter, Standard and Value packs of extra link checks • Credits never expire on this device • Credits stay with this installation: they cannot be restored after uninstalling or on a new device PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account needed • Your scan history and created codes stay on your device • A link check sends only the link to our server No checker can catch every new scam. QR Snap tells you what it checked, so you decide with the facts in front of you.
