Great news but reading it well I wonder: Why 100? 🤔 ---

I don’t need the barcode scanner at the moment, but when, 100 scans is nothing. ---

Only 100 with a Pro App? Thats a rip off. We already have a free way to do this using an API, I don’t see many of us using this if we have to pay for scans. The staging shows non pro @ 10 scans… ---

Hi, I am considering to add QR code scanning capability. May I know 1. what is current status of native QR code reader capability within glide 2. I saw on my pro-app that I can have up to 1000 barcode scans…Is this the same as QR code? Kindly advise latest options available in glide. Thank you. ---

> [@Mns\_Glide](#): > > - what is current status of native QR code reader capability within glide > - I saw on my pro-app that I can have up to 1000 barcode scans…Is this the same as QR code? 1. Not possible. You have to do one yourself. I hope we get one in the future 2. No. It is linear barcode 1D - where QR code’s is 2D ---

@Krivo So currently it is not possible to incorporate a QR code reader into Glide? ---

QR code scanning has been in staging for a long time, but I don’t know if there are any immediate plans to release it to production. So for now, no, there isn’t any native ability to read QR codes. Only linear barcodes. If and when it’s released, I would assume it would have the same 1000 barcode usage limit. ---

@Mns_Glide you need to build your own QR code reader if you need one. As Jeff is mentioning there is no native QR scanner at the moment. How to create a QR scanner yourself can be seen in the start of this thread > [@Barcode scanner](https://community.glideapps.com/t/barcode-scanner/18579): > > URL: [https://barcode-scanner.glideapp.io/](https://barcode-scanner.glideapp.io/) Created a new (very simple) barcode scanner which also scans QR code.
