I have been working on QR Codes since 2006 and I have seen and found many different uses of them. They are widely known and used in Japan and other eastern countries since the nineties and I watched them getting known more and more by western countries in the last two years.

After creating my generator page on this site and publishing Qrafter, I started to meet great people, one after another. Then one day, I met Katie Davis, who is a talented children’s book writer. She recently finished her first eBook aimed at us, adults: How to Promote Your Children’s Book: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets to Create a Bestseller. She has some great ideas and insight in it and she let me publish a few ideas that include the use of QR Codes here. Let’s read them in her own words, and hey, don’t forget to grab a copy of her eBook:

Today is my birthday, and Apple gave me a present by approving Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 4.3. They are now live on the App Store.

I have been lazy through last few months and I skipped writing posts about versions 4.1 and 4.2. 4.1 was a big update which had the following features:

  • Full iOS 5 compatibility
  • vCard parser updated to support new iOS 5 features
  • Data Matrix reading support
  • 4 new QR Code generation options including event generation

A few days later, I had to submit version 4.2 which fixed a small bug. This version was alive for nearly 3 months and now version 4 3 is ready. It adds the following:

  • Front camera support for compatible devices including iPad 2
  • Support for iMessage on scanned phone numbers and mail addresses
  • Support for FaceTime on compatible devices
  • An updated vCard parser

Hope you’ll enjoy my birthday present. :)

You can download Qrafter from here and Qrafter Pro from here.
