What is an app QR code for?
An app QR code detects the phone of whoever scans it and sends them to the right store: the App Store for iPhone, Google Play for Android. One code for both stores, with no intermediate pages.
On a computer, it shows a page with both download buttons and a link to your website. And because it is a dynamic code, you can change the links later without reprinting anything and see how many times it is scanned.
Advantages
- One code for two storesYou do not need one QR code for the App Store and another for Google Play: the same code sends each person to their store.
- More downloadsRemoving extra steps means more people actually end up installing the app.
- Editable linksIf the app listing changes or you launch a new version, you update the destination without reprinting.
- Scan statisticsYou see how many times it is scanned, from which system and which button is tapped most.
- A fallback for computersAnyone scanning from a computer sees a page with both buttons and your website.

Ideas for using it

- Presentations and trade fairs, to get downloads on the spot.
- Receipts, with a discount on the first in-app purchase.
Tips
Copy the links straight from the app's listing in each store ("Share" button). That way you are sure they open the right listing.
Show the App Store and Google Play badges next to the code: people instantly understand it is for downloading an app.
Size, color and contrast for your app QR code
An app QR code stores a short link that decides which store to send people to, so the code is simple and reads well from 1 in (2.5 cm). It often appears on packaging, receipts, counters, ads and screens. On a screen or a poster, allow 4 in (10 cm) for every 3 ft (1 m) of distance; in a video, keep the code on screen for at least five seconds.
Use the main color of your app icon for the dots, if it's dark, and place the icon in the center of the code with error correction set to "Maximum (H)". Put the official App Store and Google Play badges next to it, at their minimum size and without changing their colors, so people know the code is for downloading the app.

Frequently asked questions
How does the code know which store to open?
When scanned, it goes through a short link that detects whether the phone is an iPhone or Android and redirects to the matching store.
Can I change the links after printing?
Yes. It is a dynamic code: edit the links from "My codes" and the printed code keeps working.
What does someone scanning from a computer see?
A simple page with the App Store and Google Play buttons and the link to your fallback website.
Can I see how many people scan it?
Yes. In "My codes" you can see scans, devices and which button is tapped most.
Does it work if my app is only in one store?
Yes. Fill in only the link for the store where your app is listed and add your website as the backup website for anyone scanning with a phone on the other system.
Can I link to an app that isn't published yet?
Yes. The app QR code is dynamic: for now, add only the backup website and, once the app is live, add the store links from "My codes". The printed code will keep working.
Do I need to be the app's developer?
No. You can create a code for any public app, for example to recommend the booking or payment app your business uses to your customers.
