Effective tool, but unsecure domain and high price for that **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate.

I’m worried that other users might run into the same issue. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick and easy QR code creation, with simple click statistics. **Official Response from Bitly Inc.:** > Thank you for the kind words on the statistics and ease of use! Regarding the domain issue, ISP-level blocking is unfortunately outside of our direct control, as it depends on how individual providers configure their security filters. We're sorry for the inconvenience this causes. If you'd like, our support team is happy to look into it with you and see if there are any workarounds we can suggest. We appreciate you taking the time to share this, it's helpful feedback. ### 10.

QR Code Generator PRO Holds Users Hostage **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2025 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I thought it was great to generate attractive QR codes quickly and easily until I learned that I would have to pay $119/year forever to keep those codes working. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** At no time during the purchase process did QR Code Generator PRO mention that their codes would expire at the end of a year unless we kept paying and paying. It was not until the next payment came due that they warned us that all of our codes would expire unless we kept paying. Now, we have to throw away all our collateral and print new - or pay them forever. Isn't that called "hostage taking?!"

Run! Do NOT use this tool! **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is NOT benefiting our organization. It is costing us thousands of dollars to get rid of it. ### 14. QR Code Generator Pro: Ideal for Companies **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team.

Wasn't clear I was paying for annual, they refused to refund **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2024 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I thought it was simple to use (until I got to the deceitful checkout and customer service experience). **What do you dislike about QRCG?** I used them for a project, it was not nearly as clear as it should have been that my QR code would deactivate after a few days. When I realized this (too late), I went to purchase a 1 month subscription, only to find I was billed annually, another thing that wasn't nearly as clear as it should have been doing checkout. This is a company that clearly tries to convert paid users by obscuring their pricing and policies. When I reached out to customer support, they refused to downgrade me to a monthly plan, issue a refund, or make any exception whatsoever. There are a lot of QR code generators out there, I strongly recommend you choose another option and do not bother with any of the free or paid services from this company. It's not a place that cares about their customers. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed a QR code quickly and inexpensively. This solution hoodwinked me into thinking it could provide that. ### 16. DISSATISFIED EDUCATOR **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2024 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I 100% regret inadvertently believing I could create a FREE QR code only to have it deactivated in 14 days. I should know this was Bait to Switch for an expensive product. Following deactivation, I believed I was activating my QR Code for a total of $9.99 only to find out I purchased a $120 product. I immediately tried to cancel the purchase but there is not a phone number and the AI Bot was not helpful. Through various emails with "customer service" I learned I paid $120 to create 2 QR Codes. And, there are absolutely no refunds ever given and no exceptions to this policy (insert BIG red flag). **What do you dislike about QRCG?** While this very expensive lesson cost me a lot and took supply money away from my students, I will continue sharing/educating others in hopes that no other educator takes the BAIT and pays dearly as I did! $120 for 1 User and 2 QR Codes. That is $60 per QR Code. There are FREE and appropriately priced QR Code Generators for educators who are trying to meet the multifaceted needs of students and stakeholders. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** My case has been "SOLVED" per the email I received. At this point, I am focused on educating other "One time users" such as teachers so they do not lose money unintentionally. ### 17. Confirm bait and switch **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2024 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Nothing, but I have to write at least 33 characters. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** Their 14-day free trial is a lie. Minimum **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** None, I can generate a code elsewhere for much less and they don't offer any printing. As for analytics, I can get that through Google, so QRCGP isn't doing anything except billing my credit card. ### 18. Link Sharing Made Easy! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about QRCG?** We use this constantly for our clients that are wanting QR codes for their events. Clients use our website for their ticketing needs and quite often then ask us to create them a QR code for the event so that they can post it on their social media or on flyers. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** We have not found anything that we dislike about the product. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use this to create QR codes for our clients that want other ways to share their events. ### 19. Bait & Switch - TOTAL SCAM **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Erm, nothing? What they do for a fee (undisclosed fee!) can be done just as well for free elsewhere. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** They do not inform you up front that the QR codes you are generating will seem to work fine for 2 weeks and then will be disabled. Those 2 weeks are just enough time to get everything printed off and distributed and then they hold you hostage. They will claim that they have a free plan, but they never tell you that there is a difference between dynamic and static codes and the way to choose a static code is very effectively hidden - the end result is that you are unable to switch to the free plan unless you abandon all the codes you used (printed, distributed) and create new ones. I thought I could switch to a paid plan for a month and at least the majority of the scans of my now-printed-and-distributed codes would be valid, but, NO, you can't sign up for a month. You have to sign up for a year and there's no partial refund even if I cancel after a day. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is causing me major headaches. I am working for a non-profit with a very limited budget. These QR codes were not considered in our budgeting at all. All of a sudden our whole print run is wasted because these guys pulled their hostage-taking game and are holding my print run hostage. ### 20. Amazing QR code generator **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sheeba T. | Digital Marketing Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a review partner **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **G2 Icon:** Our network of Icons are G2 members who are recognized for their outstanding contributions and commitment to helping others through their expertise. **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Making our own customized QR code. I find the different options to make different QR codes very helpful. Like website, social media, pdf, images, etc. Customer support is better in this QR code generator. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** The scanning of the QR code takes longer as mentioned by our customers. Could this QR code generator detect the mobile device in which they are getting scanned? **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** This is the season of QR codes. It is very helpful in payment-related applications. Yes more accepted by customers. We are more productive. Yes, QR code is liked by our customers. ### 21. Misleading Website **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Honestly, after this, nothing. It is no easier to use than QRCodeMonkey, which is very straightforward with its upgrading options and has all the same capabilities. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** There are two different kinds of QR to generate, dynamic and static. Static is free, dynamic is not. It is not clear when you enter the website that if you create a dynamic QR code, you will lose access to this QR code unless you pay for a subscription. I received a notification about receiving a scan on my code and clicked the link to check out the website and came to find that my QR code will be expiring in 10 days. I was confused as to how I had made this mistake and panicked because we had printed this QR code on signage, so I tried to create another one to see where I messed up. When creating a QR code, you are taken to a landing page where you can select what you want the QR code for (website, social media, etc) UNDERNEATH this list, in faint, tiny writing, it says static codes and there is a little plus button you hit to bring up the dropdown menu for static QR codes. It is purposefully hidden this way so you will miss it and select a dynamic code instead. Nowhere on this page does it explain the difference between a dynamic and static code and that you will eventually have to pay for one over the other. This website and process is incredibly unclear and misleading. There is nowhere on the website to even contact anybody with a complaint. This appears to be a legitimate business but feels incredibly scammy with the way they basically trap you into using the dynamic codes. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have only created panic and a headache for me. ### 22. A great resource with limitations. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tiffany G. | Marketing Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2022 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Great options for design and functionality is strong. Always seems to work property. Great tool overall. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** The biggest issue is the that the subscription plans that are available are very limiting. It's hard to utilize this tool for the exact number of codes that you need. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** Review the plan restrictions before subscribing. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's great because it allows us to make easy to scan codes and engaging landing pages. ### 23. I literally just made an account to warn you... Don't use this! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert Y. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2022 **What do you like best about QRCG?** It is easy to use and set up. You can also create dynamic QRs which can come in handy **What do you dislike about QRCG?** They basically set traps everywhere so you Upgrade Oh, already have some QR codes? We made them Dynamic so you can only use them if you pay our Annual Plan. Nothing worse than a SAAS that depends on tricking their users into paying. And if you really need those QRs you can't even pay a monthly subscription. Nope, they only offer an annual Plan. You'll end up printing your QR codes again. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** You are better off skipping this one. I'll have to look for alternatives and redo all the work **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed a reliable place to print some QR codes for our Demos. Since they'll expire after the "Free Trial" I didn't ask for, I can only tell you there are no benefits. Unless you want to pay USD 1500. In that case, this may be the software you are looking for. ### 24.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about QRCG?** It was easy to get set up and use, and it worked. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** After receiving zero warning about an automatic renewal approaching (which they automatically enroll you in when you sign up), I asked politely for a refund and let their support know I would no longer be using the service and did not intend to renew for another year. Then I received a reply with zero understanding, zero empathy, and zero compassion. They stated they sent a reply 30 days prior which they absolutely did not. As many of the others in this forum have stated, they lie about sending a notification and just charge you. I cannot recommend highly enough that you go with a different QR code service. They should really be ashamed of themselves. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** Make sure to deselect the auto renew function when you sign up, otherwise they'll autorenew you in a year without giving you any warning. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making it easy for customers to sign up for a webinar. ### 25. It's a scamming company who charge you even after cancellation **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mohammad B. | Field and digital marketing manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2022 **What do you like best about QRCG?** They did what they say they do, we were able to create QR codes and share across, which has been available for free as well at many websites. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** We contacted them on Nov 2021 to cancel our subscription, as we no longer required their services. In Jan 2022 we were charged for the whole year and upon sharing the communications to their customer services agent Sana Mahmaudi, she refused the refund straight stating sorry we won't be able to refund you - she had zero knowledge of the issue and hasn't responded since I tried reaching for further clarification. The whole image of the company has been destroyed with simple tricks she played with us. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to get a platform that will help us generate QR codes, although there were many free versions available we wanted to try QR Code Generator Pro - There has been no difference between the paid and free version we decided to cancel and turns out these people don't refund you even if you cancel and get a confirmation email for cancellation. And if you protest clarification, they simply ignore your conversation. ### 26. Reliable for years now **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sebastian W. | Tech Lead & Principal Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I have used qrcg.com for years now, had personal contact with the founders and it was always reliable and just works. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** I in general do not like to pay for QR codes, but if you want dynamic codes, there is no other way around this. I don't want to print QR codes on event pages with fixed URLs when I might to change them, so I pay. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Each time I printed QR codes there was always a case when I wanted to change the code afterwards and I want to track how often it was scanned. We did printed hiring campaigns or ads for events like hackathons and used QR codes. After the event we could easily change the targets and could see how often people scanned or codes. Awesome! ### 27. It's a SCAM **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about QRCG?** Nothing, it's a scam website that creates QR codes that expire without notice **What do you dislike about QRCG?** The website creates QR codes that expire without notice, requiring you to pay a "Ransom" or subscription in order to keep the codes working. The website does not disclose that the "Free" codes expire, leading many users to bring their codes to print, only to find out a few weeks later they will have to pay a substantial amount in order to keep them operational. This website should be investigated. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing, it's a scam website that creates QR codes that expire without notice ### 28. Easy to use, love the static and dynamic options **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebecca R. | Marketing Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I love that it is easy to make QR codes for my business. They give an option for static and dynamic codes, which helps when we need a QR code where the link can change. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** You have to buy your dynamic codes, but it makes sense why they have this charge **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I solve the problem of everyone having different codes for the same site. We all log in with the same log in and can re-download codes instead of re making them ### 29. QR code Generator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicole C. | Client Services Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** The ease of use to create a qr code. It took 5 minutes **What do you dislike about QRCG?** I used the free trial period and was unable to access the code. It led to some confusion **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for clients we cannot reach to be able to access their benefit applications on their phones ### 30. Easy to use, these QR codes are good for everything! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Really simple to use with dynamic and static QR code options. Can link to websites, pdf, emails, etc. Can add logo, etc. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** I think the website is easy to use - I've only used it on desktop - so nothing really negative to say. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** None! I like using it! **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to communicate everything from event RSVPs to lead generation forms. Now that everyone uses QR codes and everyone has a device it makes it so easy to capture info. ### 31. Zero Support - Not worth the time or effort to partner with. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick S. | Freelance Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** The QR Codes are stylish and the analytics are definitely a plus. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** They have absolutely no customer support. I've sent them emails, contacted them on their Intercom Helpdesk, I even messaged them on Linkedin trying to get some form of support. Nothing. This is pretty terrible because I have sender tags on my emails, so I know they've read them along with seeing that my comments on Intercom are marked as "seen" but with no response. So, it's not a lack of support, they're just flat out ignoring me as I'm sure they do with many other people. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Without the support, there are plenty of other QR Code generators that I'm sure I can obtain the same or better services than. ### 32. Expensive scam masquerading as free software **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2021 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Nothing. This is no better than many lower priced options in terms of features and ease of use. Nearly everything offered is provided by competitors at a lower price, without the sneaky on-way upgrade path. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** This is a trap. After trying this out for free users are lured into extra features at a very high price. If you make the mistake of trying these, you'll never get your QR codes to work again. Rather than simply reverting to free codes if you decide to stop using advanced features, your codes die, and you are forced to pay a full year's Pro subscription to reactivate them (and only temporarily). **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** Avoid. Use a competitor. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** None. This product has wasted time and money, for something that should be simple, and is, if you use just about any other product for it. ### 33.

This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2020 **What do you like best about QRCG?** Getting rid of it, despite the fact that it cost me a lot of money in hidden "subscription" fees and international payment fees. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** This is less about generating qr codes and more about generating large amounts of money through disingenuous marketing. I had what I thought was a free account, except that it wasn't. It defaults to a paid account by deceptive means, and then when you refuse to pay you get demands with menaces. If you don't live in Germany you have to pay by international bank transfer, which whacks another £15 onto the bill. This is a SCAM designed to relieve you of your hard-earned money. It's 2020, everyone is struggling except of course operators with the moral compass of a con merchant. Avoid at all costs. especially the £72 + international transfer fee I've had to pay. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** Just don't touch it **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have solved no problems and realised no benefits. I have been given problems in the form of a demand for money (for free account??) with menaces ### 34.

I like that I can customize the style of my QR code and add my logo to it. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** There isn't a single thing I dislike about the software. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been able to track website traffic from printed materials and promotional items to justify ROI in my campaigns. I've been able to make getting to our website easier for our customers, recruits and employees. ### 35. More than just a link creater **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2019 **What do you like best about QRCG?** I like how you can created QR codes for people, events, surveys, pdfs, events, etc. It's not just for a url. I love the feature where it shows our company logo while it's loading information. Really slick. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** As of now, I do not have any complaints. **Recommendations to others considering QRCG:** Customize as much as you can. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** I started using this program specifically for my sales reps' contact information. We ordered really nice (expensive) business cards. The idea is that those business cards are to be used for key clients and other people (vendors or whoever else is not a client) can scan their card. It's been great for that. When I started making the QR codes, I realized all of the other options and will be implementing those in the future. ### 36.

Easy to set up. QR codes fully customizable, available for download in multiple formats. **What do you dislike about QRCG?** In the basic package you can only create up to 2 QR codes. **What problems is QRCG solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating QR codes for our applications and placing them on our website / pop up wall during exhibitions. ### 37.
