Universal QR is a free app that lets you scan QR codes quickly and easily. You can also create your own QR codes for all kinds of uses. [Instant scanning right after launch] The scanner starts the moment you open the app. Just point your camera at a QR code and it's recognized instantly. Tap a URL to open it straight in your browser. You can also send the content to a friend as-is, or save it as a memo. [Scanned items are automatically saved to your history] Even a link you scanned yesterday is easy to find again in your history list. Swipe a history item to view, share, rename, or delete it in a flash. You can also edit the content and recreate the QR code. [Name your history entries your way] Give any history item a name you like — "Cafe Wi-Fi", "Event check-in" — so you can tell what it is at a glance. Turn on the switch at the top of the List screen, and scanned URLs will show the web page's title instead of a raw link. So long, walls of URLs ^^ (Title fetching is off by default — it's entirely your choice.) [Create QR codes] Turn any URL or text into a QR code. Exchanging messages with friends via QR codes can be fun too ^^ Share it through apps like LINE, or save the QR code image to your Camera Roll. Great if you want to display a code on a blog or a flyer. Universal QR is free and supported by ads. Prefer an ad-free experience? A single one-time purchase in the settings removes ads for good — no subscription.
