The best part of the app is, you can put Apple's emoji icon on top of the QR Code, and still able to be decoded by other scanners. If you're interested, I would love to give you the promote code to try. Hi Gina,

I'd like to take the opportunity to point out that registered users have the choice of embedding either a shortened qrstuff.com URL in their QR code, or having the URL encoded in its native form as entered. I found in the early days that quite a few anonymous users were entering URL's that were either so long that they created an overly dense code that was difficult for a lot of smartphones to read, or were entering malformed URL's that weren't able to be navigated by phone based browsers. In the interests of making it easier (and more reliable) for one-off casual users I brought in the mandatory URL shortening for anonymous users. Yes, it can be simply subverted by entering the URL as TEXT, but I consider there's more advantages than disadvantages in using shortened URL's for inexperienced users. My experience has shown that anyone who's QR code deployment due diligence indicates that a shortened URL is not appropriate will have no hesitation in becoming a registered user. I would also point out that QR codes generated by registered users of <a href="http://www.qrstuff.com" rel="nofollow">www.qrstuff.com</a> continue to be fully functional even after their account registration expires. Cheers <em>Greg</em> Thanks for mentioning the http://www.qrstuff.com in your great article.

I would also like to suggest my own app "Listables!" (sorry for the self-promo). It's like app referrer, but with more features such as BBCode generation, selecting of which apps to share, HTML code generation, contact sharing with vCards, etc. Don't get me wrong though, App Referrer looks like a really nice app, and I hadn't seen it until today. @Kelly Atkinson, I dont think it will let me post the QR code but I will try below. <a href="//search?q=listables" rel="nofollow">market://search?q=listables</a> <a href="http://alostpacket.com/listables-2/" rel="nofollow">http://alostpacket.com/listables-2/</a> Nice article, QR codes are really taking off in a big way.

In qrstuff, if you want to have a regular URL just enter it as text. Most decoders will work with that. Hi, Gina, great post about QR codes.
