Description
Qrafter is the first QR Code app that is designed for iPad instead of just taking the iPhone version and making it bigger!
Qrafter became the No.1 free utility app in the Japanese App Store on June 27, 2011!

----------
Qrafter has a special sharpening algorithm which lets it scan up to 40% smaller codes. It also lets Qrafter scan QR Codes which have less contrast between foreground and background. The shortcoming of this algorithm is, it makes the scanning process a little slower on older devices, but this is probably an acceptable compromise.
----------
Qrafter has an in app purchase called "Pro Pack" to further enhance its abilities. This pack includes the following:
- A QR Code generator that can generate QR Codes from scratch. It can change the colors of the QR Code images, save them to your photo library, email them as PNG and SVG image files, share them on social media sites and print them if your device is compatible with AirPrint feature of iOS.
- A vCard (.vcf) and iCalendar (.ics) file downloader which can download vCard and iCalendar files using Safari or Qrafter's internal web browser. This is a feature that no other app on App Store has. Qrafter's vCard parser can parse everything from names to anniversaries and it can even download contact photos. This feature enhances this vCard parser further with the ability to download vCards themselves from the internet, and furthermore adds iCalendar file download ability as well.
- A feature to send your history information to any email address as a comma-separated value (CSV) file. This way you can get the raw data included in the items you scanned, in bulk.
- Removal of advertisement banners from Qrafter. All ad loading will stop immediately and banners will be removed from all screens.
