    Hey Kerem,

    Qrafter is by far the best qr app I’ve come across. I am constantly converting people to it.
    I was curious if you have an update on an API release. Thanks.

    I made a QR code with your generator 6 months ago the links to a contact card, I now want it to forward to a link… Is there any way I can change the destination? I’ve already printed the code on the back of my business cards…

      Hi Levi,

      That’s not possible. A code includes the text you enter into it. One letter changes and the appearance of the code changes too.

    We use the Qrafter pro on Iphone 4s and 5 (new os) for reading and testing codes. We have found that sometimes we change something in the destination and the cache remembers the “old” destination. Since this program does not use Safari as it’s internal browser, how to you clear cache?

      The cache seems to have some problems on iOS. Qrafter uses the browser that Apple provides to developers, so currently I could not find a solution to this than wait for some time.

    Any chance you are going to make this software into a program I can install on my mac? We’re looking for a standard and this has been the best I’ve found so far. We’d love to purchase it if you can make that happen.

    Hello,

    Great app!

    I am wondering if I can do the following…and if not, if your upcoming api will allow this:

    I would like to generate a QR code that references a local file on the iPad (say a photo or .jpeg image) This way when the correct QR code is scanned the picture that it is associated with pops up on the screen. The application is for a demo price checker that has all inmages (with prices) stored locally on the iPad.

    Thanks very much,
    Jason

      Hi,

      This can only be done using a custom app which has its own URL scheme, installed on iPad. You can’t call any music or picture that’s stored in an iPad, using QR Codes.

    I would like Aztec Code for android with ZERO internet interaction, …………….and certainly no abuse of permissions like gps or network location or address book or really anything other than write to SDcard. ………………………………….. I understand those other bits would be needed for people who wanted to pull from those various resources but ………………………….there should be a light-permissions version of the app for people capable of wielding the clipboard for field population

    yeah that graph isn’t remotely honest as long as YOU set the DEFAULT to anything…. especially QR code……………….way to ignore my whitespace……………………….

    let’s have a page that randomized the order of 2D flavor and DOES NOT have a default…. and keep records from there

    Hi Kerem,

    I’ve been enjoying the pro vs for a little over a year now and am working on a publishing project involving considerable use of QR codes.

    One area that would be useful, is Mac/iOS Reminders lists. These are .ics files and I wonder if these could be parsed into a new Reminders ‘list’ on an iPhone/iPad, with each Item entered as a separate ‘To do’. (Do Androids or other use .ics for lists?)

    In reply to Jared: Running Barcode scanner the result is dependent on the Android version. I observe that Android 2.x puts the whole address in the first street as you describe and 4.x properly assigns street, city, zip code.

    Thanks to Kerem for his outstanding QR scanner!

    Hello, is there a way to make the free formatted text talk (or a way to tag on a prerecorded message), so it is accessible to people who are blind or cannot read?

    Could you make available a way to save a Vcard setup so that you could just save a company and change the name and phone numbers and not have to retype all of the company info?

    I’ve noticed that all the QR vCards that I make put the Web site address in the Notes area of a contact, at least on Samsung phones. And also the First Name and Last Name are both put into the First Name field on the phone. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks!

        That’s what I thought too, but they are all doing it on Samsung’s. It seems that some of the same software installed on Nokia or Dell phones works a little better and puts things in the correct places, but Samsung’s still don’t work properly. I’ve also noticed the Address fields put ALL address information in the first Street line. I test all my generated codes on popular readers i.e. Scan, QR Droid, Barcode Scanner etc. And Scan wont allow + characters in a phone number!?! Apparently none of the popular scanners are standards compliant which makes using vCards just a waste of time. What a pity… so frustrating! Wish they would get their act together! Thanks for making this service available though, hugely appreciated!

          Thanks Jared,

          Well the exact same problems on iOS forced me to write Qrafter so that I am now sure that there is at least one standards compliant reader on that platform. 🙂 The other app developers just don’t work hard on vCards because they only account for around 2% of scanned content. Most scanned codes contain URLs.

      the default android contact manager is abysmal

      purchase a license of Marten Gajda’s Contact Editor Pro to enjoy properly implemented fields already fully compatible with ActiveSync, a Microsoft invention available also to Windows Live Email (outlook dot com, etc)

      dmfs dot org slash editor

      It’s the best few dollars I’ve ever spent on each of my android phones — even better spending than to license Tasker, clipboardmgr, Light Flow, or HumbleBundle drm-free android games collections!

      It’s crazy unbelievable that android FOUR still inflicts horrid contacts edit app by default which almost always makes local contact backup a nightmare or importing contacts. Such is true also for those who whore their privacy as a commodity for “free” google internets services like gmail, googlevoice, or “plus”. I prefer the traditional use of the word ‘free’: without cost (financial, raped privacy, or otherwise)

      android will be better when every rom especially aosp has XPrivacy and XPosed Framework baked in to provide the USER control over permissions and information “requested” by apps.

      do hope to see a Keremerkan f/OSS app for generating Aztec Code on F-droid repository: actually zero cost apps without the intolerable conditions of google play (or amazon appstore).

      Use EPS or SVG output. That will let you have a vector file that does not have any resolution so that you can change it to any resolution you want.

        About time this was on the Android Market, I was a signed up Pro user of Qrafter on Iphone, now i’ve converted to Galaxy S3 and i’m glad of the move, apart from this. This site is a good work around though.

    I realy love your QR Code generator. I would like to use your generator on my website, but i could not find it on your download page. Would you send me the PHP source files or do you have an API present?
