* This application can read other barcodes as well, for example: EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-E, UPC-A, ISBN-10, ISBN-13, I25, CODE-39 and CODE-128 (however none of these includes contact information)
A QR Code is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.
Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
Ratings and Reviews
Needs finishing
Well, it's a free app, so whatcha gonna do?
But I honestly don't know how this got into the app store. The menus don't operate correctly (apple menu is blank) The hotkeys aren't listed, and it has no edit menu. Unless the HIG has changed a bit, this isn't a Mac app.
Okay, so that aside. It does operate, it generates codes FAST. But I can't vouch for the verasity of the content. The codes do look a bit biggere than average, though I don't know what the standards are for the QR codes.
Needs some options...
This is pretty cool, but I really think it needs the ability choose what information from a given contact shows up in the image. The ability to not include some information would be great.
Still Too Limite
- Moving from one contact to the next, requeste to click on rather that tapping on up and down arrows.
- Need to allows click in the barcode for editing
- I like that when you click or type in a name, its display the entire contact information just under the code.
- Where the add is in allowing linking to forders, external accounts and databases.
- The app do a good job "scaning and go",
