I've tried every FOSS QR scanner, and unfortunately, binary eye is total crap. They don't fully support all formats, and you need to get a near perfectly illuminated shot of the code. Also doesn't scan regular barcodes whatsoever.
I think I had, but it was crashing when scanning regular barcodes, which I'm doing at work quite a bit since our ERP prints them for version control on our quality documents.
I've just tested it again and it seems to work, will be using them in parallel for a while. Thanks!
Why do you have this bad impressions of binary eye? Its maybe not the most feature rich, but it's working perfectly for me. And I wouldn't suggest this app from the play store.. So I'm going to search a bit more and maybe find something interesting
Like I mentioned, I tried every available FOSS app (on f-droid that is, plus a bunch of github releases, many sadly abandoned), and none of them was able to scan all QR and barcodes I tested it with.
