Hm, it says updated February 2019?

But I also use this app for QR-codes, since I was never able to find an alternative. The vast permissions required make me nervous every time I install it... Good to know it is on F-Droid as well, built from a source tarball, so should be OK [1]?

Interesting, in the Android play store it says Sept 2018. But I opened it on a browser and I see Feb 2019.

However all the negative comments about ads are from after November 2020. Clearly a smear campaign.
