I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and have absolutely no idea how to scan those pixel type square barcodes....

Anyone help please? Is there an App I need?

Thanks.

If it a QR code, then you need a reader/app to scan them.

you can get free QR reader apps from itunes

yes I think you need to download an app first - qr barcode scanner (there is a selection but dont know which one is best)

OP, you'll be on Android. So just go to Google Play and pick whichever free QR reader app that has the most stars!

NB I have QR Droid, which does me fine. Not that I use it much.

Thank you all Smile

Hazel - thanks for that Android info. I'm having a super shit day, just had my Hotmail account hacked and blocked. Lost all contacts.............. and my gorgeous SN 3yr old is caving my attention.......

Is it too early for a G&T? Wink

I'm on android. My app just calls itself barcode scanner, it works fine

Hotmail? Can it, and get thee to Gmail. Works super-slick on Android.
Sorry to hear you're having a shit day. G&T v possibly called for indeed.

I have just done that very thing Hazel - the Gmail thing, G&T requires shopping trip so might have to wait until I have found my will to live, it was here earlier............... Wink
