Smart Scanner - Free QR & Barcode Scanner

Ads kept popping up at random times, even when the app wasn't even open. The app could be closed and I could be doing something totally unrelated, like just texting someone, and get pop ups that filled the whole screen that I would accidently click. Took me forever to figure out what app it was coming from. Horrible.

This app caused random almost totally anonymous pop-ups, it took a while to finally figure out what app was doing it, because it was set up to cover its tracks when I would attempt to switch to a prosess manager to see who the culprit was creating these random ads that would appear no matter what I was doing and even would crash my calls sometimes. So in short, Beware DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

Warning: This app will start popup ads all over your phone, irrespective of what task you're currently doing on your phone. I am an Android developer, got annoyed and decided to dig what's causing these ads, and found this app to be culprit using the system logs. Could've given zero star if I could.

As others have mentioned, full screen pop-up ads occur even when the application is closed. Tried scanning my phone with Avast, Malwarebytes, and ESET, but all scans found nothing. Began researching and found this app to be the culprit. No obtrusive ads since I've uninstalled it.

This app worked great.....but the ads Oh my! I thought my phone had a virus. I tried to make a call and an ad would just start playing or I simply unlocked my phone and my phone would freeze then an ad starts playing. Sorry but I had to uninstall this app.

Ads pop up randomly on the phone even when the app is closed. Using the GPS an ad would randomly pop up and interrupt it. This would happen ALL the time. It would also happen with netflix and any other app I had open.

Adware alert! Great app at first, but then the popups start. Interrupting all other apps on your phone. Malware. I can't belive these horrible developers want $23 a month to use an app that causes popups on your phone. Don't support this kind of garbage on Google Play and lets watch them disappear!

This app opens pop up ads randomly no matter what application you have open or even if nothing is open at all. It works fine to scan codes but the full screen pop up ads that appear when the app is closed aren't worth it.

Basically malware which creates constant popup ads. They attempted to prevent seeing whats causing it, but simply looking at your open apps shows this to be the culprit. Deleted it and I no longer have ads.

Loaded full screen popups on my phone even when the app was closed. Completely unnecessary and unacceptable for a QR code scanner. Also wasnt super great at scanning codes. Overall, there's hundreds of less shady options out there.

After installing, I began getting pop up ads everywhere, including my home screen. They stopped immediately after uninstalling this app. I wouldn't be surprised if it is stealing passwords. DO NOT INSTALL!!!!!!. I have also reported this to google.

This app is malicious. It played ads while it was not open. They were full screen intrusive ads and interrupted content on my home screen. As soon as I uninstalled it the intrusive ads stopped. -10/10 would not recommend.

Word of advice, do NOT use this app. About a week after downloading, is will start push ads, or in other words, you'll be watching something, and *boom*, a huge ad for toilet paper that pulls you out of the video app entirely.

This app is full of adware. Even when not using it, it'll pop up in the middle of other apps and show ads. I can tell it was this app because I used an ad catcher program and it caught this, and once I uninstalled, the problem stopped. Avoid this app.

If google play is ok for this app to hi-jack your screen, its the best app ever! I uninstalled it thou. Kinda annoying to have popups even this app is not being used. I just felt like this app has a trojan or malware or whatever you call those random ad popups.

Although this app works as intended, it seems to actually be adware in disguise. If you install this app, you will be given pop-up ads that cover your screen without warning, even when you're not using this app. Unless this is your last resort for a QR code scanner, do NOT install this app.

DON'T DOWNLOAD! Infects your phone with popups. They appear fullscreen all of the time, and interrupt anything you are doing. Scanner worked ok, but so not worth the popup hassle.

Got full screen pop up ads even when this app was fully stopped. The ads would close what ever app I was on. When trying to diagnose the problem i found out that flashlights and apps like that hid this kinda garbage.

This will run ads on your homescreen like malware. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Who knows whay else it is trying to do to your phone. I can tell it was this app because I hadnt installed any apps in months. I downloaded this, and then boom, the next day im getting ads popping up on my homescreen and over other apps. I opened up my playstore apps, and this app said, 'just used 2 mins ago'. I havent opened this app since yesterday afternoon. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Ads pop up from this app even when not using the app. I don't mind ads for free apps, but having them pop up when I'm on the home screen crosses the line. No thanks.

this app has the most intrusive pop up ads ever! I swore my phone had a virus because every 5 to 10 minutes a pop up would appear over whatever I was doing even if the app was closed out. Do not download!

adware!! after installing this app ive been having full screen pop up ads on my phone. went to look through all my apps abd this one shows up opening over 15 times a day when i only used the app once last week.

The app worked fine for a few days, but then started to insert pop-up ads into everything I did. I don't know why this is allowed, because I am not running the app at the time when it does this. F-- would not install again.

Thank you all I was having Pop Up ads all of a sudden after downloading this app which was truly pissing me off finely I came back and really read these reviews. Whatever you do don't install this app or you will have Pop up ads. They were coming up in my private apps Doctors Portals, Banking App and so on which is very disturbing. Save yourself the headache don't download this.

Disgusting adware. pops up in the middle of the night, full blasting ads. Has woken the dog and myself numerous times. Impossible to locate until you ask what you've installed recently.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Malware that will take over your screen and pop up ads randomly. If this also happened to you please report it to Play Store, it is dangerous. It will try to mask that it is coming from this app and will take you deleting everything and finding out by elimination. Go download another better, honest app. 🖕

Enables full screen pop ups when you are not using it! Does it's own job well enough but it took me a week to figure out why I was getting all these pop ups and it is not worth it. So irritating!

This app worked fine during initial use but eventually started loading full screen pop-up ads on my phone even when the app hadn't been opened in days. Malware garbage.

Has pop up ads that randomly show up even when the app isn't running. Don't use this, its extremely annoying. I thought I had a virus.

This app causes pop up ads on your phone no matter what app you are using. It also does not open the app, so you can't see what app is doing it. This should be removed from the play store.
