Visit the Google Play Store and
search QR Code Reader. There are
a number of free QR Code reading apps available to you such as
QR Code Reader & QR Droid Code
Scanner which allows you to digitally
share just about anything. There are
also QR & Barcode Scanner apps
which will read not only QR codes
but regular bar codes as well.
There are hundreds of QR code scanners for
iPhone so it almost seems silly to highlight one
above the rest, but if we suggest one Scan is
great because as soon as you launch it, it’s immediately in scanning mode, and it can pick up
a code within seconds.
Windows phone owners will find
a great solution in upCode. This
application, available in the Ovi
Store, will quickly scan your QR
code and send you to the destination with ease. It’s available
for all Nokia smartphones with
a camera.
For a free alternative, again check out the
Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store.
There are viruses for smartphones just like there are for computers, so it is always important to scan smart, just like going to
trusted web sites from your computer. The QR code itself cannot contain a virus, but the web site it takes you to certainly can.
Make sure the codes you scan are from a trusted source.
