Technological inventions come in droves. First, it was things like electricity, cars and light bulbs. Then the printing press, the refrigerator and everything in between came to be. But, one thing that has really taken off is the telephone. Phones with cords are decidedly vintage feeling, as are landline cordless phones, flip phones and basic phones. In 2020, smartphones reign supreme. You can make voice or video calls, text, take pictures, listen to music, search the internet, keep track your steps and more. The options are endless, and what is trendy or not when it comes to smartphone use (remember when Angry Birds and bulky phones were still "in"?) can change in an instant, not unlike other advances in technology. Some aspects of smartphone use are intuitive, while others, like scanning QR codes, are not. That is where the QR & Barcode Reader app comes in handy. Want the scoop? We will fill you in.

Users who choose to install the QR & Barcode Reader app will be able to easily scan both. No more blurry images or things to figure out!
