Tired of carrying around a million cards? Rewards, Memberships, Passes? Hate making people wait for you to dig out a card?
I know I was, which is why I wrote the My QR Codes App.
My QR Codes is private & easy to use.
Codes can be uploaded from existing images OR generated on the fly from custom text.
Codes are easily accessible via a nice organizable list. Swipe Left/Right to quickly switch between viewed codes. Swipe Down to show the code name. Swipe Up to return to the codes list (Code List - V3/Sense Only).
Give My QR Codes a try today! I hope you find it as convenient to use as I do. There is a 3 day free trial period & if you find the app convenient & wish to keep it, there is a one time cost of $3.99 I thank you all for your support in the development of My QR Codes.
User Guide
Open the App on your watch -> Go into My QR Codes Settings on your phone -> Click Create New Code & enter code details -> wait a few seconds & the watch will vibrate/update your codes list.
FAQ
Q: How do I keep my watch on when I have to rotate my wrist towards a scanner?
A: Aim your wrist towards the scanner and when the screen turns off, keep your watch screen aimed at the scanner and just double tap the screen to wake it up. It will keep itself awake while you move and angle your wrist for the scanner to read your QR Code. This is a temporary always on mode. You exit this mode automatically when you look at your watch in the normal position and change QR Codes or exit the app. My advice is to always remember to exit the app when done.
Q: How many codes can I create?
A: I did not put any limits on the amount of codes you can create. Codes are only limited by the amount of storage space Fitbit allows an app to use. I believe this is set to 15MB per app & since codes are fairly small in size, I expect you can store more codes then you'll ever need within this limit.
Tips
Most scanners at stores can read QR Codes. Use the content of a barcode to make a QR code. If you have an item that doesn't list the content of the barcode, scan it with a barcode app on your phone. Then use what the app shows to make a QR code for the watch. I do this with my all my cards. More convenient to scan them from my watch then waste time pulling them out of my wallet.
Changelog
---------------
v6.1
I upgraded the QR generator API service, added background and foreground color options per code, added label preview on swipe left/right so you see the label of the next code briefly on screen before it displays the code. QR codes now generate on a private API service & as usual all code text content is sent entirely encrypted with HTTPS and no code content is stored anywhere except on your Fitbit device itself.
