Best QR Code Readers

QuickMark Mobileqr code readers

QuickMark reads: QR Code, Data Matrix, Quick Code (QuickMark's proprietary code)
Quick Mark works with most cell phones (iPhones $0.99, all other phones free) You can check to see if QuickMark works with your phone: www.quickmark.com.tw/En/basic/download.asp

A lot of people feel QuickMark is one of the best QR code readers available. QuickMark has auto decode, which means you don't have to click the scan button before every read... it's a small feature, but it's nice to have. QuickMark does an excellent job scanning QR Code on the iPhone 3G, even though the 3G doesn't have an autofocus camera. However, you'll need autofocus to scan UPC barcodes with QuickMark.

QuickMark is one of the easiest QR code readers to use. You open the app, point your camera at the barcode and QuickMark automatically scans the code. You'll quickly hear a cute QuickMark sound, letting you know the scan was successful. From there you'll see a screen offering several options:
Generate Barcodes - which allows you to create a barcode of what you just scanned
Social Networks - send the data to a friend, or post to your Facebook or Twitter account
View as Plain Text - the data from the scanned barcode is converted into text
*You can also easily share barcodes (transfer data) from one cell phone to another

 

You need to create an account (free) and verify the account via your email address

BeeTagg is an excellent code reader. After opening the BeeTagg app you select one of two buttons, 'Camera' or 'Stored images'. Choosing the 'Camera' button puts the app into auto decode mode, you point the phone at the barcode and it automatically scans and takes you to the webpage displaying the code data... it's that easy.

ScanLife Reader

ScanLife reads: QR Code, EZcode, Data Matrix, UPC, ISBN
ScanLife works on most cell phones, however you can verify:
Which phones work with ScanLife?
ScanLife does a good job with QR Code, however there are a few issues:
1- the first time you use the reader you'll be prompted for your name, age, annual income, zip code and email address. ScanLife reports that your info is sent anonymously and that they require your email address is so you can send data, such as someone's contact info, to your email address.
2- unless the code you're scanning is registered with ScanLife (which most aren't), you'll see a warning stating  "This code is not registered or was created from an unknown source". If you press 'Continue' you'll be taken to the scanned information.
3- with an iPhone 3G, ScanLife doesn't read UPC codes (no autofocus)

UpCode Reader

UpCode Reader reads: QR Code, DData Matrix
UpCode works with most cell phones.
UpCode works a bit differently that many current barcode readers. You start the app, focus in on the barcode and click a small camera icon to initiate the scan. The app then takes a 'photo' of the code which, if it's good quality, you can use by clicking the 'Use' button. The URL address is pulled from the code and you're immediately taken to a webpage displaying the code data.
A number of steps is required to get to the final destination.
