## QRCG Reviews
  ### 1. Zero Support - Not worth the time or effort to partner with.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Patrick S. | Freelance Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2021

**What do you like best about QRCG?**

The QR Codes are stylish and the analytics are definitely a plus.

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

They have absolutely no customer support.  I've sent them emails, contacted them on their Intercom Helpdesk, I even messaged them on Linkedin trying to get some form of support.

Nothing.  This is pretty terrible because I have sender tags on my emails, so I know they've read them along with seeing that my comments on Intercom are marked as "seen" but with no response.  So, it's not a lack of support, they're just flat out ignoring me as I'm sure they do with many other people.

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Without the support, there are plenty of other QR Code generators that I'm sure I can obtain the same or better services than.

  ### 2. Expensive scam masquerading as free software

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2021

**What do you like best about QRCG?**

Nothing. This is no better than many lower priced options in terms of features and ease of use. Nearly everything offered is provided by competitors at a lower price, without the sneaky on-way upgrade path.

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

This is a trap. After trying this out for free users are lured into extra features at a very high price. If you make the mistake of trying these, you'll never get your QR codes to work again. Rather than simply reverting to free codes if you decide to stop using advanced features, your codes die, and you are forced to pay a full year's Pro subscription to reactivate them (and only temporarily).

**Recommendations to others considering QRCG:**

Avoid. Use a competitor.

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None. This product has wasted time and money, for something that should be simple, and is, if you use just about any other product for it.

  ### 3. This is an expensive scam masquerading as free software.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2020

**What do you like best about QRCG?**

Getting rid of it, despite the fact that it cost me a lot of money in hidden "subscription" fees and international payment fees.

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

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 £72 + international transfer fee I've had to pay.

**Recommendations to others considering QRCG:**

Just don't touch it

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have solved no problems and realised no benefits. I have been given problems in the form of a demand for money (for  free account??) with menaces

  ### 4. Makes QR Generation and Tracking a Breeze!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019

**What do you like best about QRCG?**

The app is easy to use and very intuitive. I like that I can customize the style of my QR code and add my logo to it. 

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

There isn't a single thing I dislike about the software. 

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've been able to track website traffic from printed materials and promotional items to justify ROI in my campaigns. I've been able to make getting to our website easier for our customers, recruits and employees.

  ### 5. More than just a link creater

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2019

**What do you like best about QRCG?**

I like how you can created QR codes for people, events, surveys, pdfs, events, etc.  It's not just for a url. I love the feature where it shows our company logo while it's loading information.  Really slick.

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

As of now, I do not have any complaints.

**Recommendations to others considering QRCG:**

Customize as much as you can.  

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I started using this program specifically for my sales reps' contact information.  We ordered really nice (expensive) business cards.  The idea is that those business cards are to be used for key clients and other people (vendors or whoever else is not a client) can scan their card. It's been great for that.  When I started making the QR codes, I realized all of the other options and will be implementing those in the future.

  ### 6. Stylish QR codes

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David M. | Head of Partnerships, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Completely paperless, no need to print out brochures or flyers. Easy to set up. QR codes fully costumisable, available for download in multiple formats.

**What do you dislike about QRCG?**

In the basic package you can only create up to 2 QR codes.

**What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating QR codes for our applications and placing them on our website / pop up wall durinng exhibitions.

  ### 7. Easy to use

I like the ability to edit and customize your own QR code.

I’m sure there are even more uses but I’ve used it in moderation.

Helping people gain info about our organization - and doing that by combining paper handouts with our website. 

  ### 8. QR Code review

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)
