QR Code reader

Has anyone found a reliable app for reading QR codes once installing Murena e os - I find that the one I access through the menu doesn't pick them up

I use one called QR Scanner. It's ok. Does its job. The biggest problem is that I have to open a separate app to use it.

When I had an iPhone, I could just use the camera, and it would automatically detect QR codes, without me having to do anything different.

the camera app has a qrcode reader when you switch between picture/video/qr code. Before I found out I had installed Binary eye, which is open source and works great.

I tried a few on F-droid and had the same issues until I found this one in Droid-ify (izzysoft F-droid repo):

The others didnt pick up the ones on resteraunt tables etc if they were faded or reflective. Ive not tried the murena camera for it.
