Simply scan the quadratic barcode and iRobin does the rest for you:
✔ auto-open links to websites in safari mobile;
✔ auto-open eMail addresses in the mail-app;
✔ auto-call phone numbers*;
✔ adding VCards (.vcf files) or MeCards to the address book app;
✔ auto-open geo coordinates the maps app;
✔ auto-open calendar events.

Full iPhone 4 support:
✔ Multitasking (for all compatible iOS 4 devices);
✔ use the torch for lighten up while scanning;
✔ full HD artwork;

Scanned barcodes can be saved into the iRobin barcode list and (re)called later (Ideal for reading newspaper while traveling by airplane: Simply scan barcodes of interest while reading the paper onboard and continue detail reading online after arrival). Or send them as eMail attachment to any eMail address you want.

Using iTunes, you are also able to get scanned barcdes in a text or XML file.

The scan area can be cropped to enhance scanning results even if several QR-Codes are placed directly together.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁
IMPORTANT NOTES:
iRobin needs the autofocus capabilities of the iPhone 3GS or 4 and works very limited on the iPod touch 4G. The scanning results on this device can be improved by using an optionally available optical lens (macro lens).
▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

* For security reasons phone calls are only executed after user confirmation of the shown decoded phone number.

Pros and cons of iRobin QR Code Scanner app for iPhone and iPad

iRobin QR Code Scanner app good for

A very nice QR code reader. I like that it can be set to automatically go to the URL in the QR code. Get it while its free!
I like it. I have two feature requests: - The email should also include a .vcf (vCard) attachment. Id prefer one vcf per name sent (vs one with all) so the person I send to doesnt end up importing duplicates into their address book (and only imports the ones they want). - A slightly more apparent visual and audible notice of successful capture. Otherwise, good app.
Was having problems with it at first but they updated and it works fine

Some bad moments

Dont buy this app its a waste doesnt even work on my iPhone. Maybe its just me but 1.06$ just wasted.
