I liked this thing. Apps prescreened by librarians are a good thing. I already had Wi-Fi Finder on my phone because I don't have a data plan, but it was not useful if I couldn't get online to find free wifi. I didn't know about the database I could download for off-line access. I downloaded it, and now this app is so much more useful!
I had QRReader on my phone because as we switch our periodicals to online only, we have put a sheet in a plastic magazine cover on our magazine display racks where the print would normally go with a QR code leading to the online version. I need to test all the QR codes. For this thing, I tried RedLaser. I like it a bit better than QRReader because QRReader just automatically looked for a QR code when you started it. I like that this one has an icon to start reading, so you could conceivably do something else first.
We also plan to put QR codes with a link to our mobile catalog out on the ends of our stacks, but we have not yet had time for that. I like the idea of a QR code library tour, too. Or put a QR code on our study rooms with a link to an online reservation page.
