QR Code & Barcode Reader for iOS
Everything that you can imagine doing with a QR-code or a barcode seems to be implemented in this mobile application. Meet QR Code & Barcode Reader! But don’t get fooled by its name since it is not only a reader. With this app, you can easily create, edit, manage, share, and look for info on codes. A highly demanded kind of an app in a modern world, it sure got into our rubric for a reason(which is the bugs, as always). So let’s start scrutinizing this app and its flaws with our Weekly Bug Crawl!

You can see how Bug Crawl is mostly oriented towards mobile apps. What is the reason behind such a decision, you ask? You see, QAwerk has been through a lot of software testing projects already, regardless of the platform. Mobile, web, desktop, it doesn’t actually matter for us. But only with mobile software testing projects, fragmentation plays such a big villainous role. Ultimately, it’s a huge problem to address. And in our bug reports, we both try to point that problem out and use it for the purposes of making bugs obvious.
It’s so comfortable when nearly all of the functions to work with QR-codes and barcodes are fitted in one application. Even if you don’t interact with the QR-codes too often, this app still has something to offer. For example, the function which allows you to compare prices by the barcode alone is a must-have, I think. However, there are some bugs in this application that have to be taken care of.
