★WHAT IS A QR CODE?
It's the 'evolution' of normal barcodes. They can hold more information and are more flexible. QR codes can be used to share Contact information, links, geo-locations and more.

★HOW TO SCAN A QR CODE?
• Open QR Droid
• From "Scan" tab, select "From camera"
• Center QR code in your camera's viewfinder
• Scanned information will be shown, without pressing anything
QR Droid has the best previewer. If scanned QR code had a link to a YouTube video, you'll see video's image, title and duration, immediately! If it has a geo-location, you'll see a mini Google Map; and so on.

★HOW TO SHARE INFORMATION
• Open QR Droid
• Select tab "Share" and touch any option, according to what you want to share
• Follow on-screen instructions until you see a QR code
• Show that QR code to a friend. He'll be able to scan it with his camera from your screen, and get shared information!
