SCANNING CODES HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
Open the Kaywa Reader, point your phone at the QR code and it will automatically detect the code. That's it! No need to login, no need to take a photo or press a „Scan“ button like with other apps, just scan and enjoy the content!


WHY WOULD I USE A QR CODE READER?
QR stands for Quick Response; QR Codes allow youto get content as easy as pointing the camera at it.
You have probably noticed printed ads with 2Dbarcodes while perusing magazines and newspapers or during shopping. Many companies now use QR codes to deliver special promotions, coupons, contest entries or videos to great content. A 2D barcode scanner is your best shopping companion, connecting you with discounts and special offers!
QR codes can do many things (for example play avideo, create a Facebook Like, scan to buy, tweet, etc), and you will always be prompted to tap to take the relevant action.

For example:
If the code encodes a web address (URL), we will redirect you to the website.
If the code encodes contact information the Kaywa Reader will show you the contact information and allow you to add that contact to your address book.
If the code encodes a text message, you will see the text message and with one click you can send it.

Kaywa not only brought QR Codes to the West in 2006, its reader was also featured by Google, Nokia, the Pet Shop Boys and TIM as their QR Code Reader of choice. Lifehacker, the New York Times, the Economist, the New York Post and many other influential blogs, websites and newspapers on the other hand have always pointed to http://qrcode.kaywa.com to generate QR Codes.
