A couple of months ago I wrote a post about QR codes. Recently I needed to find an APP for QR codes to a Smartphone running Windows Phone 6.5. Not that it is hard to find at all. There are a lot of apps out there. I will share a couple of the best with your guys here:
Free QR Scanner Apps

BeeTagg:

Personally I use BeeTagg, because it is free, fast, simple and easy to use. It is available for almost any phone you might have like: Apple, BlackBerry, HTC, LG, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and a lot more.
The thing is that these codes are getting more and more mainstream and a lot of people and companies are beginning to see the possibilities with those smart QR codes and the fact that almost everyone today have a smartphone and bring it with them everywhere. Another thing is that the codes make people curious, because you don’t know what is behind the code before you have made a scan with your phone. The way the apps works is that they use the camera in your phone to scan those QR code and translate them to a link or whatever the code represents.

Not everyone Thomas… I sure don’t, I’m so behind the times. Don’t even have internet access or text. Looking into the texting though, probably not the internet access. I did get an iPod Touch though so I have WiFi with that. Aren’t you proud of me? Moving up in the world.
Now that’s interesting because I figured that just scanning these might eventually start running into problems as well. Sounds like this can do the trick.
Thanks for sharing and sorry I haven’t been by in awhile. Hope all is well.

Hi Adrienne
Always a pleasure to have you here. Ipod Touch is pretty up to date I would say and you actually can get a QR code reader for iPod touch I can see: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/qr-reader-for-iphone/id368494609?mt=8
Have a great weekend 🙂
That’s so cool, thanks Thomas. Great to see you as well my friend. Hope all is well.
I use a HTC smartphone so many things you can do with them eh… thanks for the info.

Hey, Thomas! I’ve been hearing a lot about these QR codes recently. I think it’s a pretty nice idea for mobile devices. I haven’t tried them personally, but hope to some day soon.
Great info about the free apps I can use. Thanks for the post and take care.

Hi Allyson
Glad you liked my post. QR codes really are showing up anywhere in public lately.
QR Codes have really changed the world of information exchange between the devices. Thanks for sharing this review.
Hey Thomas,
Great article and resources. I have an iphone and there are just as many options for scanners.
QR codes are definitely beginning to dominate. I just recently learned about them and now i see them everywhere.
Even on billboards!
Great apps here! Way back years ago, I haven’t really know the use of qr scanner! LOL But now, I find its use, I would definitely try one for my nokia phone. I choose the one you’ve recommended, Bee Tagg. It’s nice that you’ve shared this!
I used the Bee Tagg app on the latest Nokia Phone I had. It was working great.
Thanks! I will have this one for my phone, for sure it could help me a lot!
