Qrafter Pro is an iOS app available now for USD$2.99. It’s an app which lets you scan QR codes and also generate your own QR codes (as well as Data Matrix and Aztec Codes – which are just other types of scanable codes….)

Qrafter Pro is very simple to use, when you open the app the Scan button is there to tap, scan the QR code using your device’s camera and bang, Qrafter will present the information found in the QR code.

One feature that is cool but you probably wont use very often is the ability to scan a QR code from your Camera Photo Album. You would use this if you wanted to capture the QR code information from a code which is on your phone’s screen.

For example you might be on a website which displays a QR code containing text information. You cant scan it, so take a screenshot, save to Camera Album, then open Qrafter and instead of scan choose “Scan from Photo Albums”.

Why I like Qrafter Pro mostly is that it can generate QR codes for me which I can customise.
