QR Reader & Code Generator for iPhone

QR Reader & Code Generator scans QR and barcodes with the camera, lets you inspect what was found, and can create a new QR code from text you enter. That covers the routine jobs of opening a link, reading contact or product data, and making a code to share without an ad-heavy scanner. Results can be reviewed before you act on them, which matters when a printed code points somewhere unfamiliar. The camera can only decode a code it can see clearly: glare, damage, tiny printing, poor focus or a cropped image may prevent a successful scan.
