Squinting at a QR code that won't scan, or wondering if a link inside one is actually safe to open — that's exactly what QR Code Pro solves. Point your camera at any QR code, barcode, or NFC tag and get an instant, accurate read, then create and customize your own codes just as fast. One purchase, every feature, no ads, ever. INSTANT SCANNING Turn your iPhone into a fast, accurate scanner. Point the camera or import a photo, and QR Code Pro recognizes 13 formats in seconds: QR, Aztec, Data Matrix, Code 128, Code 39, Code 39 Mod 43, Code 93, EAN-13, EAN-8, Interleaved 2 of 5, ITF-14, PDF417, UPC-E Ultra-wide camera support makes it easy to scan large or hard-to-reach codes, and batch scanning lets you capture several codes in one pass instead of stopping after every one. SAFER LINK CHECKS Before you open a scanned link, QR Code Pro checks it for you — flagging disguised domains, link shorteners, unsecured HTTP connections, and unusually long or suspicious URLs, so you can decide with confidence whether to tap through. NFC SCANNING Read compatible NFC tags with your iPhone, including tags that store more than one record — every record reads correctly and displays in full. CREATE AND CUSTOMIZE QR CODES Build a QR code for a website, Wi-Fi network, contact, phone number, email, SMS, text, location, or calendar event in a few taps. Make it yours with custom colors, eye shapes, pupil styles, and your own logo — perfect for a business card, a menu, a classroom, or an event. PRINT & SHARE Print QR codes directly from your iPhone with adjustable layouts, or share them digitally for packaging, flyers, posters, and product labels. STAY ORGANIZED Unlimited scan history keeps every past scan within reach, and Favorites keep the codes you use again close by. iCloud sync carries your history and created codes across your Apple devices, and you can set Scan, Create, or History as the tab that opens first. ONE PURCHASE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED QR Code Pro is a single purchase — no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no ads, ever. Every feature above is included from the moment you install it: - Scans QR, Data Matrix, and 13 barcode formats - Ultra-wide camera support for larger or farther-away codes - Batch scanning for multiple codes in one pass - Safer Link Checks before you open a scanned link - NFC tag reading, including multi-record tags - QR code creation and customization with your own logo - Direct printing with adjustable layouts - Unlimited scan history and Favorites - iCloud sync across your Apple devices - Choice of default tab on launch - No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads People use it to check a restaurant menu, verify a delivery code, build a QR for a Wi-Fi password or business card, or just confirm a link is safe before opening it.

Jotalicious is a beautifully-designed shopping assistant that turns plain text lists into color-coded checklists of awesome. It works the way a shopping assistant on your phone should – you create lists just like you are jotting a note to yourself and Jotalicious organizes your lists into sortable, taggable checklists. When Jotalicious finds the name of a place next to an item in your list – for example, "Fresh Herbs @Farmers Market" – it automatically tags and adds the item to a virtual shopping list for that place too.  If typing is just too old school for you, use your device's voice dictation* feature to speak your lists into Jotalicious – say the phrase, "New Line" to separate each item on your list and Jotalicious does the rest. It's good to share, and with Jotalicious it's even better. Jotalicious is on the spot with AirDrop, AirPrint, text message, and email sharing support. You can send text copies of your lists to anyone or you can share a "jot", which can be imported, complete with tags, by other Jotalicious users. And all of those text lists people send you – or lists you find on your favorite blog or elsewhere – can be pasted into Jotalicious to create new lists effortlessly – just copy text and paste awesome! Jotalicious is shopping list bliss – after you dictate, paste, or jot your first list, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. (*NOTE: Voice Dictation is not available on all devices. If your device supports voice dictation, you will see a microphone icon next to the spacebar when your device displays a keyboard.)
