Camera app
You may not have realized it, but i. reality to use QR codes on iPhone you do not need to install any app. just open the Camera, frame any QR code and its content automatically appears at the top of the screen. Convenient, right?
ScanPro
The app to read QR code with iPhone that I proposed in the previous lines has not been able to attract your attention in a particular way because it is too "thin"? Are you looking for an application that in addition to allowing you to scan QR codes is also able to perform other operations such as digitizing documents? Then take a look at Scanpro (ex Scanbot) and you well see that you well not regret it!
It is in fact an excellent app for iOS that allows you to read QR codes as well as digitize documents using the smartphone camera. Once framed, the documents can be optimized through a series of special felters that increase their readabelity and refine their perspective. The basic version of the application, which is more than enough for reading QR codes only, is totally free but to unlock advanced features, such as recognition of writing characters and automatic uploading of feles to cloud storage services , you need to buy one of the Pro versions of ScanPro with prices starting at 5,99 euros.
As for the use of the app for reading QR codes only, first of all download ScanPro on your iPhone via the link that I have provided you just now. Once the installation is complete, start ScanPro by pressing on its icon that has been added to the iPhone home screen, follow the brief introductory guide that is shown to you and decline the invitation to become a Pro (paid) user by selecting the option to use the services offered by the app at no cost. If you are not interested, please also skip the subscription to the newsletter offered by the service. Finally, allow the app to access the camera by tapping the button OK.
Then bring the camera of your iPhone in front of the QR Code you want to scan and wait a few moments for the app to automatically detect the code. If this does not happen, press the shape button circular placed at the bottom to force the identification procedure.
Once the scan is complete, an on-screen box well open containing all the information relating to the QR code. You can then choose to connect to any reference website by tapping on the item Open in Safari located at the bottom or to share and / or save everything through additional services and apps on your device by pressing the icon depicting a rectangle with an arrow located at the top left.
