Have you ever been annoyed with extra options in a QR code reader when you just want it to scan QR and show the result? This was the reason why I started to develop my own light and clear QR reader - Obsqr.

Obsqr features in a nutshell:

  • can scan QR codes of the following types: URL, e-mail, geolocation, Android Market link, phone number, sms, contact information and plain text.
  • open-source ( find the sources here - https://bitbucket.org/trikita/obsqr )
  • is based on the zbar lib
  • ad-free
  • can be ran on x86 Android devices
  • English, Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, German and Turkish localization. If you can speak other languages and would like to help with the translation - let me know!

Obsqr on Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=trikita.obsqr

Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions on this app!

NEW It's been a while since we last updated this app. Now after a big refactoring a new update is coming. You will notice new almost-Material design and some other changes, and of course new bugs. So if you would like to become a beta-tester - please, join the Trikita community https://plus.google.com/communities/103557309699012391832 and follow this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/trikita.obsqr

After we ensure that v2.6 is stable enough - we will publish that one and will work on QRs with mixed content (e.g. text containing URLs or emails) making Obsqr better than ever!

Thanks for information!
On my device it's hard to notice. Suppose, a camera and screen ratio are very different on your device.
I think I should crop the photo image to fit a screen ratio in the future versions.

Thanks for this. It's nice to find an application that just does what it's meant to without lots of unneeded options.

Hey,
for me apps like QRDroid where bound to my search Button on my phone..
But your app does not show up on that App list wenn i hold the Search Button, could you add that feature:)
Nethertheless this is by far the best QR Code scanner i've been using:) I hate how all the others are bloated with features no one wants:D

It is a pleasant surprise to have an app that doesn't require a shopping list of permissions to perform a simple task.

I am a fan before I even finished the install.

Fantastic work, my friend! I get all happy inside when I come across simple minimalistic apps that can do what they're intended to do AND do it better than other bloated ones.

There has to be a way to implement this into the main main AOSP camera app. IMO functionality like that has been missing for quite some time. Maybe you can contact and work with whoever develops camera mods for the Cyanogen team? I dunno...

I'll be glad to translate it to Dutch, and I'll try to do French too if it's not too hard and I have the time. Feel free to PM me a link to the files I need to translate. They can be XML or whatever you use, I can figure it out ^^

i can translate in italian for you...

my suggestions:
1. pop-up after scanning is always in landscape mode: please consider portrait mode also.
2. please integrate the app as "searching app" when long press the search soft-button

Hi!

Thanks to everyone for your reviews and suggestions. That helped me to publish a new release version Obsqr 2.4 today.

I added Swedish, Dutch and Portuguese localization there. Thanks to guys who helped me with this!
In addition, I bound launching Obsqr to Search button.

Fix:
- autofocus issue
- links started with https are decoded properly

Hope you like the new version.

Thanks for your work.

Any plans to add WiFi key QR code support? Like Barcode scaner has, thats the only thing missing from the app & thats all thats keeping Barcode scanner installed on my phone. If you added this i don't think i would need any other barcode/QR scanner. So far the app is grate nice & fast clean & simple its just what i was looking for.

    It's been awhile since the last update. I've published a new release version 2.5 on Google Play.

    Please, check a list of changes and bug fixes:

    • in addition to the landscape mode now Obsqr supports the portrait mode as well
    • added localization for Italian, German and Turkish languages (big thanks ElGato74, bl4ckb1rd and ncdlek @ XDA)
    • advanced parsing of QR codes with web-links (like "smth.com")
    • fixed processing invalid market links
    • fixed blank screen after cancelling any dialog windows (like a share dialog where a user can choose an app to share QR code content)

    I've fixed ratio problem. Now it doesn't stretch camera preview (since release version 2.3).
