Privacy, security, and file management
The app keeps scanned entries in an in-app collection so you can manage and revisit them later. For safety when opening URLs, it offers a sandboxed browser environment that minimizes exposure to external apps and reduces the risk of unintentionally switching contexts.
Who this suits
This tool is a good fit for users who need frequent scanning and occasional QR creation — from casual sharers to small-business users who want branded codes and a simple way to catalog scans.
Alternative option
If you want another choice, consider 文字识别-快拍识图 (Free) — it’s recommended as an alternate app with optical character recognition and quick image-based identification features.
