Read full descriptionHide full description
Application that lets you read and generate QR Codes, Aztec codes, EAN-128 barcodes, and more through optical scanning of QR codes, EAN, DataMatrix, Aztec, and other formats. Text is imported using UTF-8 encoding. Codes can be created using the keyboard or by receiving text from another source. Generated codes are created directly on the device and do not pass through any intermediate server. The documentation includes modules for QR Codes supporting VCARDs, calendar events (CALENDAR), Wi-Fi connections, Apple localization QR Codes, Google services, and social media links. You can also create collections of QR Codes and view the corresponding web pages later. QRCode Book works like a booklet of pages, allowing you to store and exchange codes using the various sharing methods available on iPhone. The code content is displayed while typing, and certain special elements are automatically detected when the keyboard is hidden. • Exchange QR Codes by optical scanning with another device. • Share text and images via AirDrop. • Share via email, SMS, and other available services. • Read QR Codes, EAN barcodes, DataMatrix, and Aztec codes. • Print your QR Codes or use the generated images for printing. The last page of the booklet contains quick documentation with specialized modules such as VCARD, WIFI, CALENDAR, LOCALIZATION, social networks, and more. Good to know: • Shake the device to clear the current text. • Tap the editor to display the keyboard. • Tap the logo to hide the keyboard. Springboard Quick Menu (iPhone 11 and later) • Instant scanning of various code formats. • Quick access to the documentation. ¢ JF Pautex, Nancy v1.3 - 2026
