What it is, in plain words.
QR Reader: Code Generator scans QR codes and barcodes with the camera or from a photo and understands what is inside, such as Wi-Fi, contacts, events and locations. It checks links on your device for phishing tricks before opening them and lets you create your own codes with colors and styles. According to the store listing it has no ads, no collected data and no account.
