It's a total scam
Website makes it look like the QR is free, then they'll send you a 96$ a year invoice to keep it. Total scam. They even say on their website "FREE QR" A total of NINE TIMES. It's a blatant lie.
Sleazy company.
I don't know how this site is permitted to operate out of the European Union. Total scam. It's "free" until they send you a bill for an annual charge or your QR code will get deactivated. Really sleazy. Thankfully, we hadn't printed the materials yet. What a waste of paper that would have been.
FYI, you can make a free QR code in Chrome, which is what I did.
This site scammed me
This site scammed me. I created what I thought was a free QR code - was over the moon with it. Spent hundreds on creating banners, business cards and flyers for my business only to receive an email 4 days later saying that I either pay a £144 yearly subscription or my QR Codes will not be scanned and invalid. Nowhere when I was creating the QR code did it mention a trial period or a due payment in the coming days.
What a waste of time, money and resources.
They take money without authority
The pages are not clear, you are signing up for free trial and then they take subscription money without authority without any ability to cancel. So not use.
It's really too bad because the program…
It's really too bad because the program works (soo far, 2yrs into subcription). If you have a problem, like the Fonz used to say, sit on it !
DO NOT USE
DO NOT USE
They trick you into the free trial, but it's not free because you will have to pay to keep the code you generated working. Their paid features must be so useless that they have to scam people into paying for plans.
DO NOT EVER USE.!!
DO NOT EVER USE.!!
Thieving company without clear pricing, DO NOT GIVE ANY CARD OR ACCOUNT DETAILS
Wish I could give a negative rating. SCAM.
Wish I could give a negative rating for this. This company is a scam. I was not notified for being charged monthly for multiple months. $20 for a QR code? Makes absolutely no sense. Find a free generator and don't get scammed by this one.
scam
scam, 20 bucks/month for 2 qr codes. if you want to stop paying they stop working. crazy how they are able to do that
Scam!!!
Scam!!!! If you’re using for paid work avoid at all costs. I had the link printed on business cards just for it to say it doesn’t work anymore. I would have to pay a monthly/yearly subscription for the link to work. That means business cards have to be reprinted, and also means wasted money. Wish I could rate 0 stars.
Not what it seems
I previously gave this company a nice review. Made a code, was happy with it, printed it on several items. Received an email 10 days later saying if I don't pay a fee the code will no longer work. What a scam for a "free " code generator.
NOT FREE AT ALL.
NOT FREE AT ALL.
They make you create a QR code and then tell you after a week that it will be deactivated if you don't pay.
This is a scam company
This is a scam company. You pay legitimately for a QR code $1 and then 2 weeks later debited $60 a month subscription which you didn't sign up for. And none of the QR codes work after 2 weeks. IT'S A SCAM. AVOID
Do not use this scammy website
Do not use this scammy website! They make a QR code but then after a certain time de-activate it without warning, so it no longer works, and you have to pay an exorbitant subscription of at least £16.45 per MONTH to use it (or £46 for only one month). Outrageous and disgusting.
They have noone to talk to! SCAM
They have noone to talk to - they charged me money without notifying that my trial was ending and when im trying to talk to someone they just have an AI chatbot that even refuses to tell me where the company is based in so I can file an official complaint with consumer law. They don't have an email/phone or contact form. Completely ghost company
Garbage site...
Garbage site.... Is literally a scam... And when you made a one time payment they changed for month payment... I don't want use this garbage anymore and bill me???
Horrible experience
Horrible experience, only annual subscriptions even if you need just one qr code. Very bad customer service, do not use it!
0 stars if I could
0 stars if I could. I used this service for a small work project. It's a year later and I no longer work at the company. The email that's associated with the subscription no longer exists. I was charged $125. Their support is an AI chat bot that can't help me.
Crap company that has bots instead of…
Crap company that has bots instead of customer service. Their method to cancel is opaque and there is no way to ask questions. I thought I cancelled my monthly payment but did it incorrectly. They charged me today. I finally tracked down a social media person and got someone to email me and they said no refund and no further contact. This is a great example of a company that does it all wrong.
They are definitely deceptive and make…
They are definitely deceptive and make it extremely difficult to cancel subscriptions... and even lied to my bank's fraud division... the FCC should shut them down and refund it's users
