(LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook) If you’re using QR code scanning software with a built-in browser (recommended) you’ll need to login to your account in that built-in browser after your first scan. You’ll only have to do this once per day. If your Android device is older than “Gingerbread” (2.3.3) you’ll be unable to use the Qrious Android app. Instead, use the QR code scanner app listed below. If you have a device with a newer version of the Android operating system, please download the free Qrious app from Google Play.
Android QuickMark Lite (http://bit.ly/L1Qx6w) We recommend the following configuration for use with the Qrious service: • • • •
Activate: Autoscan on launch. This will put the app into scanning mode as soon as it starts. Activate: Auto-open URL’s. This will immediately load the scan confirmation in the browser. Activate: Limit to QR codes. This will speed up decoding. Optional: Bulk scan mode allows for capture/storage of URL’s for launching later.
Windows Phone and BlackBerry Native Qrious applications are not currently available for Windows Phone or BlackBerry devices. Instead, use the following QR code scanners for your platform.
Windows Phone QuickMark Lite (http://bit.ly/J3OXjf)
This scanning app is fast – and even faster due to the fact that it launches in scanning mode by default. Unfortunately QuickMark doesn’t have a built-in browser and will launch Internet Explorer. With that said, switching between apps is very fast and fluid on Windows Phone – probably even better than iPhone or Android. The sound effects are a bit annoying and can’t be selectively silenced. You’ll have to put the phone on vibrate. We recommend the following configuration for use with the Qrious service: • •
Activate: Auto-open URL’s. This will immediately load the scan confirmation in the browser. Activate: Limit to QR codes. This will speed up decoding.
