QR Codes

[apachenation2000]

Some ads have those black and white, square coupons that you're apparently supposed to take a picture of. What are they called and exactly how do you find out what the information is that they hold? Do Ineed an app on my smart phone? If so, what is the app called?

I know it's stupid but, until recently, I didn't know they had special deals and offers!

QR codes!
You scan them with your smart phone and then it will like pop up on your phone.
I'm not sure if you need an app for this or not

You'll need a barcode app to scan them. ;)

Those are called QR codes and you need an app for your smart phone to scan them. I have an iPhone and personally use the Red Laser app as it reads QR codes and regular product bar codes and I can comparison shop with it by scanning a bar code in store and seeing if that product is on sale else-ware locally or online cheaper.

Thanks.

Someone once told me,
"The only stupid question, is the one not asked."

I LOVE this app! Red Laser. for the info. I have been scanning things with my favorite new toy. this is something every couponer needs to have on their phone.

maybe, you'd need the newer ipod touch that features a camera

I have an HTC right now and the app works great. Just try to download Red Laser, if it is not compatible, it will let you know.
