Comments on Binary Eye for Android

★★★★★ David Leo · Feb 19, 2026

Simple, clean, elegant, fast and ad free. Does what the description says quite well. 5/5.

★★★★★ Jason · Jun 15, 2024

The best barcode scanner. It's blazing fast and extremely reliable while having an intuitive UI with no-ads. Also, the extra features like the ability to toggle flash, zoom, scan from image, history and compose barcode, as well as some options that are available in the settings, are greatly appreciated. As if that wasn't enough it's also open source and reads virtually every barcode format. Highly recommend it.

★★★★★ Joseph Ginu · Aug 6, 2024

A simple App which will not mess with your data. With open source applications like Qt Qr both Qr code generation and reading will be tracker free. Usually these apps are ignored.

★★★★★ Matthew Moonen · Jun 21, 2025

The fastest and best QR scanner I've tried. Capable of scanning thousands of characters in a fraction of a second. And no ads; it's open source!

★☆☆☆☆ PI Xo · May 5, 2026

If you consider that "open immediately" is potentially harmful function, why it is enabled by default? App very convenient and useful but this aspect just blow my mind when I scan random barcode with some URL, and it was putted in clipboard and opened in browser without any confirmation dialog or action. Disgusting!
