QR Droid at Google PlayQR codes are found practically everywhere you look. If you've ever been put off of scanning a QR code because you're on the run and just don't have the time to deal with going to the site, looking at the information, and trying to figure out how to bookmark it, fear not....there's a free app that will fix that.

QR Droid can be downloaded from the Google Play store (hint - scan the QR code on the right to be taken directly to the app). It's different from other scanning apps in several ways. The first time you scan a code, the app will ask you if you want to set default actions – you choose to open the site or to be asked about each scan. But the real beauty is that if you just don't have the time to do anything other than the actual scan, that's ok. QR Droid saves a history of all your QR scans. Really. You just scan and go. When you have the time, open the app and the scanned code will be in your history. And remember, it's free.

QR Droid not only scans QR codes, but lets you create them, too. Here are a few of the other features of QR Droid from the developer's website:

WHAT IS A QR CODE?

The 'evolution' of traditional barcodes, QR codes can hold significantly more info and are more flexible. QR codes can be used to share contacts, links, map locations and much more.

HOW TO SCAN A QR CODE

• Open QR Droid

• Center QR code in your camera's viewfinder. QR Droid will start scanning immediately.

• Scanned information will be shown, without pressing anything: if the QR code represents a link to a YouTube video, you'll immediately see video's image, title and duration; if it is a geo-location, you'll see a mini Google Map; and so on.

HOW TO SHARE INFO (i.e. CREATE A QR CODE)

• Open QR Droid

• Touch button "Create", followed by the relevant option, according to what and how you want to share

• Follow on-screen instructions until you see a QR code

• Show QR code to a friend; they'll be able to scan it from your screen, and receive the shared info in a zap!

A full function scanner, and more. All for free. Grab it while you can.
