    We use a lot of complex technology to make this impossible thing possible.

How to use：

    2.After choosing the canvas, we will enter the painting screen, we call it "Pixel Factory". First, you can enter URL or Email address which you want to include in the QR Code.
    3.Start to design your QR Code. You can draw anything in the gray area of the canvas. The right of the drawing tool is the color box, there are black, white and transparent color for you. The right of the color box is the expanding tool. You can use them to extend black or white edge. The lower left of the canvas is the undo and redo buttons，You can return 10 steps. The lower right of the canvas is a zoom button.
    4.Generate your QR Code。Please touch the "Generate" button which is on the right of the text input field to generate your QR Code. This step will take some time.

qrコードの模様をグラフィカルに作成できるアプリ
他アプリではカラフルなものや、マークを入れるようなものはあるが、コード自体をドット絵に出来るものが他に見つからず、このアプリがおそらく唯一のもの

ストイックに差をつけられるqrコードを作れるのが良い

### 1/5 — Doesn’t generate

The drawing part of the app is great. It generated two codes for me, but doesn’t now - even after purchasing the full version. Please help and I will adjust this review.
