Top 7 QR Code Scanner Apps for 2024 (iOS and Android)
QR codes have become an integral part of digital marketing and consumer interaction, offering a fast and easy way to access websites and other content. These codes are now commonly used on product packaging, promotional materials, and marketing campaigns, making them a vital tool for businesses today and in the future. With their growing importance, it's essential to have a reliable QR code scanner on your device.
As QR code usage increases, businesses must equip themselves with an effective scanner to track consumer behavior and gather valuable insights. 2024 will see the rise of more advanced QR code scanner apps with enhanced features and improved performance.
However, with so many options available, how can you choose the best one? In this article, we’ll explore the top QR code scanners for both iOS and Android in 2024, helping you find the perfect app for your needs.
What is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that smartphones or QR scanners can read. It can store URLs, contact details, or text. When scanned, the encoded information is instantly accessed with just a tap on your phone. To scan a QR code, you need a QR scanner app installed on your device.
QR codes are an efficient way to share large amounts of data without having to manually input URLs or contact information. They are commonly found on product labels, business cards, posters, and are often used in digital marketing to monitor customer behavior and analyze data.
QR Code vs. Barcode
While both QR codes and barcodes serve similar purposes, they differ in several key areas:
Dimension: Barcodes are one-dimensional and represent data through parallel lines, while QR codes are two-dimensional and store data horizontally and vertically.
Data Capacity: Barcodes can store around 20-25 characters of data, while QR codes can hold up to 7,089 numeric or 4,296 alphanumeric characters. This allows QR codes to store more complex information such as links and multimedia content.
Scanning Method: Barcodes can only be scanned from left to right, whereas QR codes can be scanned from any direction, making them more versatile and user-friendly.
Error Correction: QR codes have built-in error correction, meaning they can still be scanned if partially damaged. Barcodes, however, are sensitive to damage and may become unreadable with even minor scratches.
Applications: Barcodes are mainly used for product identification in retail, while QR codes are frequently used in marketing, advertising, and interactive consumer experiences.
How to Choose the Best QR Code Scanner
When selecting a QR code scanner, consider factors like scanning speed, accuracy, ease of use, and additional features. Key criteria include:
Speed: A fast scanner improves the user experience by quickly retrieving information.
Accuracy: A high-quality scanner should reliably read codes, even if damaged or obscured.
User Interface: An intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface enhances accessibility.
Additional Features: Some apps allow you to create your QR codes, store scan history, or integrate with other apps, adding more functionality.
Compatibility: The scanner should work across iOS and Android devices to reach a wide audience.

"Just scan this QR code-" I CAN'T. I literally CAN'T. Just give me the fucking link!
#i have many annoyances and gripes with everything being QR codes#because you can't make assessments based on the url#making it very easy to trick someone into downloading viruses and shit#but also my phone physically can't scan them#it doesn't have that feature on the camera app#and I'm not fucking downloading a QR scanner that I'll almost never use#I got this QR code in an email too#it is so much easier to just send me the link please#a link is one click a QR code involves me getting my phone

i hate the implications that everythings gonna need a handheld device to function. like some restaurants dont have menus and ask you scan QR codes to see their digital menu. or app versions of a website having better features and/or the website """encourages""" you to use their app instead
i get handheld devices are cheaper and portable, p much more accessible than a desktop... but if everythings dependent on one thing then thats the opposite of accessible
#its always good to have options#i am reminded of this frustration bc i cant use vouchers or rate or write reviews on this online store unless i use their fucking app#me and my friends were eating somewhere the other week#my friend was in the process of paying via QR code but gave up with how slow and finnicky it is and just handed some cash#....always good to have options

as far as audio/visual digital stuff is concerned i think part of the reason people romanticise the past so much is a very genuine anxiety about perfection. a fuzzy camera lens or botched audio is cringe and offputting, but when you frame it as something retro, the imperfections come across as deliberate and become integral to the aesthetic
#thunder rambles#i was watching alexander avila's video on brat and i was like. why the retro TVs. why the aspect ratio. why the fuzzy camera lens#like its cool and its a vibe but it made me wonder why it's In right now to use these aesthetics of the past#and obviously ppl are always recyclig trends and romanticising the past but why is it Like This and why Right Now#like dnp do it too. same with the shitty retro TVs and shitty 90s fashion. theyre just doing the trashy thing on purpose#and owning it. and it works as an aesthetic#i dont think ive spoken about it here but i have a flip phone. i use tumblr on my pc most of the time#and there are burner phones or ways to downgrade your smartphone to be less addictive#but i chose a flip phone because i think its cool. and in retrospect i think because it communicates deliberacy#owning a flip phone was uncool when i was young because it meant your parents either couldnt afford a smartphone#or didnt allow you to have one#but nowadays no one has them. smartphones are seen as a must-have item (think qr codes and things that only work on apps)#so it's straight-up ridiculous to have your phone be something that does None Of That Shit. yet here we are#yea. making the active choice to use Worse Versions of things from the Past as a means of Shying Away from the Anxious Perfectionism#of the Modern Day Internet.

25. Juni 2024
Ein Fußballabend anno Zwanzigvierundzwanzig

In diesem Jahr finden die Fußballeuropameisterschaften der Männer in Deutschland statt, einige Spiele auch im Berliner Olympiastadion.
Die Eintrittskarten dafür werden von der UEFA ab Herbst 2023 verlost. Dafür muss man sich online registrieren und kann dann pro Spiel Wünsche für bis zu vier Karten abgeben. Zu einem Stichtag wird ausgelost und man muss dann aber auch alle Karten kaufen, für die man den Zuschlag erhalten hat. Die Karten sind personalisiert und wie gut sie sich weiterverkaufen lassen, wird wohl bewusst im Unklaren gelassen.
Ich biete auf Karten für insgesamt 1.600 € und erhalte keine davon. Es gibt noch eine zweite Runde mit den Tickets, die in der ersten verlost aber nicht abgenommen wurden. Daran nehme ich aber nicht mehr teil.
Eines der Spiele ist ein Gruppenspiel – Österreich gegen die Niederlande – am 25. Juni in Berliner Olympiastadion. Dafür bietet mir ein Freund spontan eine Karte an.
Die Karten werden anscheinend gar nicht mehr in Papierform verwendet (zumindest bemerke ich nirgends eine entsprechende Option), sondern digital in einer UEFA-App auf dem Smartphone hinterlegt.
Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Personalisierung eher leichtgewichtig ist. Entweder kann die Person, die die Karten ursprünglich gewonnen hat, in ihrer App weitere Personen mit angeben und muss dann für alle die Tickets am Einlass vorzeigen.
Man kann ein Ticket auch einfach an eine E-Mail-Adresse übertragen. Der/die Empfänger*in muss sich auch die App installieren und dort unter dieser Adresse anmelden. Sogleich erscheint die frohe Botschaft „Ihnen wurde ein Ticket übertragen.“
So erhalte ich meine Karte für das Spiel. Sie umfasst auch eine 36-Stunden-Fahrkarte für den Berliner Nahverkehr. Dazu muss ich mir aber eine weitere UEFA App herunterladen, die auch für das ganze andere Brimborium rund um die EM zuständig ist (Spielplan, Stadioninfo, News, Tippspiel, etc.).
Für diese App verwende ich natürlich die selbe E-Mail-Adresse und werde nach einem Passwort gefragt. Das ist vermutlich dasjenige, dass ich bei der Verlosung vergeben und mir aber nicht notiert hatte, höchstens auf einem Rechner gespeichert, der mittlerweile kaputt ist.
Ich zögere etwas, einen Passwort Reset zu machen, nicht dass ich mein wertvolles Ticket dabei verdaddele, aber dann klappt der Vorgang reibungslos. Die Fahrkarte brauche ich allerdings am Ende gar nicht, da ich alle Strecken mit dem Fahrrad zurücklege.
Beim Einlass wird das Ticket zweimal kontrolliert, einmal offenbar über einen Bluetooth-Empfänger, an den man sein Smartphone hält. Das zweite Mal mit einem Scanner, dem man einen QR-Code, der erst kurz vor dem Spiel in der App erscheint, zeigen muss. Die App erlaubt es auch nicht, Screenshots der Tickets zu machen. Einen Ausweis oder Pass will hingegen niemand sehen.
Anders als bei meinem letzten Besuch im Stadion vor zwei Jahren, sind wir diesmal sehr zeitig da und ich kann mich gründlich umschauen, bevor das Spiel beginnt. Schon bekannt sind mir drei große Videodisplays, die an den beiden Längsseiten und in der Ostkurve unter dem Stadiondach hängen.
Soweit ich mich von Bundesligaspielen erinnere, wurden diese Displays aber eigentlich nur zur Anzeige der Mannschaftsaufstellungen, Spielerwechseln und des Spielstands genutzt.
Diesmal zeigen sie während des Spiels meistens Spielszenen aus der Perspektive der Spidercam, die an dünnen Stahlseilen über das Spielfeld geführt wird. Vor dem Spiel wird auch die Perspektive auf das Stadion von oben eingeblendet, offenbar gefilmt aus dem Hubschrauber, der hoch über uns schwebt.

Das Display im Stadion zeigt während der Eröffnungszeremonie das Stadion aus der Vogelperspektive.

Hier sieht man während der Eröffnungszeremonie die Spidercam über dem Spielfeld.
Lustig ist es, wenn eine Kamera einzelne Zuschauer*innen anvisiert und diese dann merken, dass sie auf den großen Displays zu sehen sind und dann ihre Nebenleute anstupsen, auf die Kamera zeigen – nicht immer auf die richtige – und beginnen, wild zu jubeln.
Es soll nicht unerwähnt bleiben, dass wir ein sehr spannendes und unterhaltsames Spiel zu sehen bekommen. Am Ende ist Österreich tatsächlich Gruppensieger vor Frankreich und den Niederlanden und Lothar Matthäus nennt es das bisher beste Spiel der EM.
(Virtualista)

also I found a shopkin that looks like sanji
#he was only 50 cents#he's from the chef club series which is perfect for sanji except that series has qr codes on them#instead of a pencil topper hole. i always thought that was stupid even when they first released#its just for some game app that i doubt even lasted that long#cherry blabs#my toys

omg, i love the way you drew everybody and i just wanted to know what type of brushes you use, if that's not too much trouble
Heyo! I really hope this helps!
They are brushes I had downloaded for a while and the bottom one is literally the only thing I use for everything - Sometimes I use texture brushes but that's usually only for really fancy drawings or drawing skin.
My main tools are this brush and an eraser with a brush/smudged edge.
I pick a pen I feel comfortable with and just run with it usually. I've tried using different brushes, but this one makes me feel the best.
I have no clue of other applications and so I can't really point out similar brushes, but I usually use a rough textured pencil. ❤️
And thank you so much for the compliment :D
#i hope the qr codes work because i have no clue how else to share them#i used to use my finger on my phone with autodesk sketchbook#but for like 2 years I use a samsung tablet with ibisPaint#i occasionally draw on notes app for fun#reallyBURNTrambles

A DVD? How nineties. What movie did we pick to fill s semi-romantic October night?
That was sort of the idea—I’m sick of the streaming wars. Last night’s movie was Death on the Nile (the Peter Ustinov version, not the Kenneth Branagh one), and like any good murder mystery it was more camp than romance.
