Features:
AT&T Code Scanner is a barcode scanning app released for Android, iPhone and Blackberry that allows you to scan 2D (QR Code and datamatrix) and 1D barcodes (UPC, EAN, etc.). 2D barcodes can contain and recognize email, web addresses, text, phone numbers, and contact information. Many might question, there are already many popular Android bar code scanning apps such as Barcode Scanner, ShopSavvy, Google Goggles, etc. but we have stats from a recent survey where users voted 63% of U.S. consumers want a code scanner solution from their carrier.
With the AT&T Code Scanner your scans automatically take you to result, plus there is a “Histrory” tab with features to sort past scan by email, web addresses, text, phone numbers, contact information, and favorites. You can also create a profile, which gives you the ability to create your own barcodes using AT&T’s Create-a-Code website, to direct friends and family to a v-card, Facebook account, personal blog or favorite website.
For your convenience, AndroidTapp.com has QR Codes on every Android App Review, so you can quickly download the app from the Android Market.
