The iPhone has captivated many with its elegant design and interesting features. Developers are coming up with innovative and handy apps to enhance the utility level of the coveted device. eBay has now put forth the latest version of its RedLaser iPhone app which features the enticing QR Code scanning function. The app claims to be the most liked barcode scanning app with over five million downloads.
QR has the ability to code brands, retailers and eBay sellers, thereby offering users adequate data. Users will receive essential information like links to videos, product reviews, contact information for customer support, and calendar appointments for upcoming sporting events and concerts.
“As more brands, retailers and sellers leverage QR Codes to engage consumers with new and relevant content, we are providing our five million RedLaser users with more ways to scan. Our goal is to help consumers shop on their mobile phones and QR Codes provide customers with a new and fun way to learn more about products to assist in purchasing decisions,” remarked Steve Yankovich, eBay’s vice president of mobile and platform business solutions. “By offering consumers a host of reasons to use our apps, they are more likely to engage with eBay to purchase items from our Marketplace.”
Developers can cheer since the company is updating RedLaser’s Software Development Kit, thereby enabling them to create efficient mobile experiences by lending support for VIN barcode scanning.
The newest app can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store.
