The Useful QR Code Reader is a simple, straightforward, and fast QR code scanning app. Additionally, it is a handy QR code reader app that records your scanning history. After granting camera permission, simply hold your device over a QR code to scan it. The scanned QR code will be displayed at the top of the main screen. You can either tap to launch the browser and display the URL, or long press to copy the text to your clipboard.

After launching the app, tap the 'Load Image' button, and after granting media access, load an image that includes a QR code, such as a screenshot. The app will then scan the QR code within the image. (In some cases, it may fail to scan due to an error.)
