1QR is a free QR reader, it turns your device's camera into a code scanner capable of reading the codes you see on advertising, magazines and retail products. 1QR is focused on speed, precission and ease of use.

To scan a QR code, open the application and center the code inside the camera frame. That's all.

QR code is an acronym for Quick Response code. 1QR makes QR codes honor their name by scanning them quickly and easily without showing any ads or unnecessary menus.

Features
When 1QR reads a code, it automatically takes the most appropiate action for the content without showing any prompt:

• URL/bookmark: the url is opened by the default browser
• Phone number: the number shown on the phone dialer
• Phone text: a new message is created by the messaging application
• e-Mail (mailto/SMTP/MATMSG): a new message is created by the default e-mail application
• Geo coordinates: location is shown in the default maps application
• Wifi: network parameters are shown, you are offered to connect to that network
• vCard/meCard: you contact list is shown so you can choose to add the vCard contents to an existing contact or create a new one.

Any other type of content is copied to the clipboard so you can paste it in another application.
