New QR Code App

QR codes are proving themselves to be much more than the marketing tools they were originally perceived as. The codes are now being used as a means for transferring files between mobile devices, a process that has traditionally been restricted to USB cables. Scansfer is a new mobile application that accomplishes what no other QR based app can do. The application has recently entered a new phase of testing and is available for the Android platform.

This marks new territory for the codes, but not a new concept. Resume’s and business cards featuring codes have been used to transfer contact information to smart phones in the past. As smart phones become more advanced, many are looking for ways to optimize the use of the mobile devices, which has lead to the development of Scansfer.

The program works with users uploading files to the service’s website. A QR code is then generated and can be scanned by any capable mobile device to instantly download the files. The codes can be password protected to keep unwanted downloaders from obtaining the files.

Currenly, the application is only available for the Android platform and can be downloaded for free via the Android Marketplace. As testing continues, the application will become available for the iPhone and other platforms.

As people find new ways to implement QR codes into their everyday lives, it seems that the codes have yet to reach their limitations.
