Create your own QR code. It's quick and easy to create your own QR code with Visual Codes.
Scanning codes in iOS 11. Since iOS 11's Camera supports QR codes, it's a simple thing for others to scan your new "business card."
What is it about?
Visual Codes is amazingly simple to use. All you have to do is tap on "Create Code," choose the type of information you want to provide, and then fill in a form. QR codes can be confusing to figure out, but this app makes it a no-brainer to quickly and easily generate great codes.
Why we love it
Scanning the codes you create is super-easy now that iOS 11 supports it natively. You really don't even have to print your QR code, unless you want to give it to someone to take with them away from you. Just open the code in the app, and have them scan it with their iPhone or iPad. It's really that easy. I also love how many options the app gives you for creating different QR variants. You can create your own custom business card, give someone a quick way to open your Twitter page or website, or provide an easy connection to your guest Wi-Fi network. The neatest option, I think, is the Compose Email QR code. It automatically opens their Mail app, starts a new email message, and fills in your email address. Visual Codes is exactly what we need to breathe new life into the QR code technology. Perhaps it will finally make the universally scannable codes mainstream.
