### "Escroquerie à la carte bleue"

October 23, 2024

1.0

Escroquerie à la carte bleue. Refusent de rembourser une prestation que je n'ai pas commandée, se cachent derrière des conditions de ventes à rallonge qui imposent de donner un préavis de résiliation pour se voir éviter un débit de 180 euros! Des escrocs.

Pros

L'outil est inutilisable si vous renouvelez pas le paiement. Tout votre travail est rasé...Surtout ne stockez rien chez eux

Cons

Les numéros de cartes bancaires sont conservés, et débités à date anniversaire. Ils vous imposent un préavis d'un mois pour ne pas reconduire l'abonnement. 180 euros annuels...pour des QR code qui ne servent à rien, car ils sont désactivés une fois l'abonnement terminé. Les QR code sont gratuit via un compte google.

### "⚠️ ATTENTION : ARNAQUE ⚠️"

October 26, 2024

1.0

Cela faisait longtemps que je ne m'était pas fait avoir... Publicité trompeuse : le QR code est annoncé comme gratuit, mais en réalité, cette gratuité ne dure que quelques jours ! Passé ce délai, le code devient inutilisable sans souscription à un abonnement payant. Coup de grâce : le paiement ne peut pas se faire mensuellement. Si vous espériez ne payer qu'une petite somme pour quelques mois d'usage, sachez que le minimum à payer est un abonnement annuel de 115€ (pour le plus petit forfait), ce qui est totalement excessif pour une utilisation occasionnelle. Méfiez-vous de cette fausse "gratuité" qui risque de vous coûter cher !

Pros

Je ne peux malheureusement pas répondre à cette question puisque je n'aurais jamais utilisé QR Code Generator Pro si j'avais été informé des vraies conditions dès le départ.

Cons

Manque de transparence sur les coûts, impossibilité d’options de paiement flexible, et engagement forcé à long terme pour un service annoncé comme "gratuit".

### "Dissatified Education (Bait to Switch)"

August 28, 2024

1.0

I 100% regret inadvertently believing I could create a FREE QR code only to have it deactivated in 14 days. I should know this was Bait to Switch for an expensive product. Following deactivation, I believed I was activating my QR Code for a total of $9.99 only to find out I purchased a $120 product. I immediately tried to cancel the purchase but there is not a phone number and the AI Bot was not helpful. Through various emails with "customer service" I learned I paid $120 to create 2 QR Codes. And, there are absolutely no refunds ever given and no exceptions to this policy (insert BIG red flag). Also, the review has required info boxes with limited options, in the dropdown box so some information may not be complete. I am an educator and used the QR code to support teachers (not mobile marketing)

Pros

NONE! I

Cons

While this very expensive lesson cost me a lot and took supply money away from my students, I will continuing sharing/educating others in hopes that no other educator takes the BAIT and pays dearly as I did! $120 for 1 User and 2 QR Codes. That is $60 per QR Code. There are FREE and appropriately priced QR Code Generators for educators who are trying to meet the multifaceted needs of students and stakeholders.

### "Horrible Customer Service - Be Careful when you make a plan"

September 26, 2024

1.0

Awful. Would not recommend, seems like a scam and customer service is awful. Be very careful when purchasing your

Pros

I wish I could say I liked something but I do not. This was the worst experience I've had with a website. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Cons

Customer service is horrible. I went through to pay for a monthly plan and ended up getting charged for the entire year, even after making sure there was nothing that said yearly plan. Yet somehow I was charge $120. They are refusing to refund the money as it has already charged me for the year. I will make sure to find all review sites to leave a review.

### "Bait & Switch - UTTER SCAM"

January 9, 2023

1.0

Miserable!

Pros

Just like a good fisherman, they bait their hook with an easy way to create the QR Codes. Unfortunately they neglect to let you know that this apparently free service will change after 2 weeks to a for-pay service that was not disclosed until they disabled the QR codes, effectively holding your marketing efforts hostage.

Cons

Deceitful, Scammy, Cheating. If you are going to charge me for a service then let me know what those charges are going to be up front. Don't let me blithely continue on my way and then tell me that I was only able to generate those because I was on a 2-week free trial and now I am unable to continue without paying. There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of FREE QR code generators. These guys portray themselves as being that and then pull the rug out from under your feet AFTER you have committed (via printing & distributing the QR Codes) and require you to pay for the codes to continue to be valid.

Reason for choosing QR Code Generator Pro

It came up on google and generating a QR code is a stupid easy thing that I've done many times in the past and never had to pay a penny.

### "Extremely Disappointed by False Google Advertising stating these QR Cods are free! Do NOT Use this Site!"

July 12, 2024

1.0

Immensely disappointed. Money grabbers. Creates more problems than solutions.

Pros

No pros. You make a QR code and then they tell you 2 weeks later you have to pay at least $120 for a year subscription to use this code.

Cons

False Advertising. Not disclosing full information when creating QR code. Only a chatbot to reach support, then it creates a ticket which who knows how long it will take to get a response. When I attempted to purchase the $120 starter plan, it wouldn't properly take in the info so the QR code that was supposed to be sent/given out in this next week for a business is still inactive.

### "BEWARE SCAM - Misleading Website: Hidden Trials and Unexpected Costs"

June 20, 2023

1.0

I recently had a highly frustrating experience with an online QR code generator that left me feeling deceived and forced into an unexpected financial commitment. As a professional in the design industry, I relied on this tool to create QR codes for a client. However, the website's misleading practices and hidden trials left me deeply dissatisfied.Initially, I was impressed by the website's user-friendly interface and the ease with which I could generate the QR codes. I completed the process and proceeded to the next step, which required me to download the QR codes in a specific file format. However, to my surprise, I was prompted to create an account in order to access this crucial feature. Reluctantly, I complied, unaware of the consequences that awaited me.Unfortunately, the problems only started to emerge after I had left on my scheduled trip. The client, assuming the QR codes were fully functional, had them printed on shirts as part of a marketing campaign. It was during this critical period that I received an email informing me that the QR codes were now disabled. To my astonishment, I discovered that this entire ordeal was a result of an undisclosed 14-day trial that I had inadvertently signed up for when creating the account.The most frustrating part of this experience was the website's complete lack of transparency regarding this trial period and its subsequent implications. At no point during the account creation process or while generating the QR codes was I made

Pros

Nothing

Cons

### "The best Option to reach out to potential customers"

February 28, 2021

5.0

Our experience using QR Code Generator Pro is a very smooth one with no problems at all. We are delighted and satisfied with every feature the software offers. Will definitely extend our plan for the long term.

Pros

We subscribed to the Professional Plan, we use the Qr codes at our company as our business cards and can redirect our potential clients to our instagram, youtube, and facebook page. the thing we love about this plan is that we have unlimited scans, and we can access the software for up to 5 users which is great. Creating a Qr code from start to managing and checking the analytics is an easy task on this website. we haven't encountered any problems so far.

Cons

sometimes some Qr codes do not scan on some outdated phones iOS or Android, but this happens very rarely. Other than that we have no problems or anything that we dislike about it so far.

### "This is a money-making scam masquerading as free software"

September 30, 2020

1.0

Pros

In hindsight, nothing. People are deceived into thinking they have a free account and are subsequently invoiced for £70 and then harassed with threats of debt collection if they don't pay.

Cons

This is less about generating qr codes and more about generating large amounts of money through disingenuous marketing. I had what I thought was a free account, except that it wasn't. It defaults to a paid account by deceptive means, and then when you refuse to pay you get demands with menaces. If you don't live in Germany you have to pay by international bank transfer, which whacks another £15 onto the bill. This is a SCAM designed to relieve you of your hard-earned money. It's 2020, everyone is struggling except of course operators with the moral compass of a con merchant. Avoid at all costs. especially the 72euro + international transfer fee I've had to pay.

### " SCAM ARTISTS AVOID at ALL COSTS"

April 7, 2020

1.0

Their 'Customer Care' revolves around making demands for payments and ignoring your questions about their failure to send a renewal notice. They are aggressive and MONEY is their only motivation. They will not grow their business this way

Pros

It created QR Codes ....................................

Cons

SCAM Money Generators... SCAM Money Generators.... BEWARE qr-code-generator.com They WILL NOT send you a renewal notice one month before due! The WILL take a years subscription upfront and WILL NOT return your money! The product is pretty awful compared to others and is a lot dearer but what really annoys is their complete lack of customer care and honesty. The best they do is demand that pay and don't answer when you ask for proof of a renewal notice being sent out before taking the money. SCAM ARTISTS AVOID at ALL COSTS

Reason for choosing QR Code Generator Pro

At the time it seemed to do what I needed. The product is okay but their Money Collection Scam is terrible. When they billed me the product had not been used for over 12 months. They did not send a reminder and although they could see that it had not been used they still insisted that I paid for another year! SCAM Artists

### "Scammed into purchasing"

October 25, 2021

1.0

Pros

Nothing. The QR code’s work. Otherwise they are a sketchy company and there are better and cheaper options out there.

Cons

Felt very much tricked into subscribing. They advertise free QR codes. I didn’t even realize what I was signing up for was actually a 14 day trial. All I needed was one code for one event and I ended up having to buy an annual package (they don’t have a monthly option) and spending over $90 for my one code. So stupid and sketchy. Very poor business practice. Customer service was unhelpful and said they do not offer refunds.

### "QR codes made easy and also cute "

June 29, 2021

5.0

I don't use QR code generator pro every day, but when I use it, it's often in a flurry and it's quick and easy. Also the options to make downloadable QR codes cute (ie the customization options) are what really make me smile!

Pros

This is just so easy. Even when my less tech savvy members of the team end up being the ones who are given the responsibility to generate and distribute the QR code, they're able to figure it out with this software because it's simple, the interface is clean and it's intuitive.

Cons

I wish there were a few sentences with the program intro to explain what QR codes are and why they are used. Again, it's an easy program to use so it attracts and is friendly to beginners. But it could use even more remediation.

### "Easy to Use - Plenty of Custom Features"

August 10, 2021

4.0

Overall it's been a good experience. I only used it a couple times a year to set up dynamic QR codes but it was easy to do and had enough customizable options to keep the branding consistent for our clients.

Pros

It's easy to create dynamic QR codes with tracking. There are custom options for the appearance of the QR code which can easily be downloaded in multiple formats for creating print materials. QR codes also have attractive customizable landing pages where you can hold multiple links. We used this for our restaurant clients to add to their signage for following their SM channels, and it worked well and we've been able to track the amount of scans.

Cons

Like others have stated it does auto-renew for another year without warning. However if you are diligent in reading the billing information you will see that there is a renew date when you sign up.

### "Une arnarque bien ficelée "

February 21, 2024

1.0

Cons

Très grosse arnaque venant de ce vendeur qui est d'ailleurs bien rempli de faux avis positifs, ayant commandé pour 800€ de flyers sur lequel le qr code annoncé gratuit par ce site finiront au recyclage, car j'ai reçu à ce jour un mail venant de leur part 10 jours après me demandant de choisir un forfait payant sous risque de désactivation du Qr code créé. Surtout ne vous faites pas avoir par ce vendeur peu scrupuleux. Le qr code est finalement un lien qui redirige ensuite vers votre site.

### "App works but customer service is terrible"

August 28, 2019

4.0

The service works fine but the customer service aspect is very off-putting. They would rather have my money than take care of me as a customer and get my recommendation. I would have recommended this to others but I would hate to see one of my friends get bit with the unrefundable charge the way I did. Don't use this product if you want to be valued as a customer.

Pros

It's easy to create QR codes and use them for a number of different applications. We used it for our wedding invites to direct people to our online RSVP form and registry. We printed them on our invites and it worked for everyone that used it.

Cons

Like others have noted they aren't upfront about costs so you start using it and then they surprise you by shutting down your QR code scans and asking you to pay. This happened to us after our wedding invites were already sent out. Thankfully one of our friends let us know it wasn't working and I went ahead and paid for a year subscription. Happy to pay but would have been better to know upfront. Second, they auto-renew your subscription without sending you any sort of notice. And after they charge your account they refuse to refund and cite their terms of service as justification.

### "QR CODE is better then Link"

July 7, 2021

5.0

Good, fantastic, classic, gives good outlook as well as easy to use.

Pros

I am using this software for the purpose of ease. There are various ways and inputs to get an QR code. The best one is the link input by which I can easily guide the uses to a certain web page or location.

Cons

The pro version is a bit expensive but Okey to get if the use is extensive. I use the pro version as I need it. There are many more features in the pro version.

### "I would never recommend this company to anyone"

December 7, 2021

1.0

Overall I was able to get a QR code and use it but overall I feel like I got ripped off and that this company shouldn't even exist. They are a scam that tricks people into money for a service that should be cheap.

Pros

That they had QR Codes and their interface looked clean.

Cons

They basically give you a free trial without saying so and then after a few weeks make you pay for an entire year in order to keep your codes active. I shared and printed my codes, then was told I had to pay over $100 just to have one QR code active.

### "Keine Kulanz, keine Transparenz, enorm schlechtes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis"

July 8, 2022

1.0

Die Ersteller des QR Code Generator stellen zunächst einen angeblich "kostenlosen" QR Code zur Verfügung, welcher dann ein paar Tagen deaktiviert wird mit der Meldung "Der Ersteller hat diesen Code deaktiviert" (was ja den Kunden blamiert, da das nicht stimmt, sondern der Generator hat den QR Code deaktiviert). Die einzige Chance, den Code weiter zu benutzen sind Pakete bei welchem man entweder für 60 Euro jährlich maximal 10.000 Scans bekommt oder für 155 Euro unbegrenzt viele Scans. Es wird eine Knappheit von Scans simuliert, als ob beim Anbieter hierfür Kosten entstehen... schrecklich!

Pros

Die Erstellung des QR Codes war recht einfach.

Cons

Transparenz, Kulanz, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Wertschätzung

June 2, 2022

2.0

Did not meet our needs and disagree with billing practices.

Pros

It had a trail period. If provided the basic services it mentioned on their website.

Cons

Primarily we disagree with their practice to continue to bill us without notifying us. We did not notice our membership was still active until they had already taken charges on our account. The product they offered was average, but we could get those services elsewhere for free, at least the features we needed.

### "Expensive Service"

March 18, 2021

1.0

I can't recommend this platform because of its high cost and lack of features.

Pros

I needed to generate a QR code for a brochure and did a trial of this program. It was one of the first Google results. I liked the customization options, from the colors to the QR design. Downloading a file from their website was also easy.

Cons

Once the free trial was over, the platform required an expensive subscription. The monthly cost for a small business seemed high. I also felt that the features for the monthly or annual cost seemed limited.

August 9, 2019

5.0

I love it.

Pros

I love QR Code Generator fo print flyer promotions. Instead of a passerby going through the trouble of typing out a web link​ they see on a flyer they can just scan that weird little symbol.

Cons

QR Codes could be a bit more stylish. But the aesthetics​ don't matter much if the job is getting done.
