Rapid Contacts: QR vCard Codes Description
Rapid Contacts App allows you to create a QR Code for your contact details so you can quickly and easily share your contact information with others. No need for the other person to download the app; just have them scan the selected QR Code with their phone's camera app. From there, they can add you to their contacts. It's that easy!
Features:
- Offline! All QR Codes use the vCard format to transfer data from the QRCode when scanned. No internet access is required.
- Secure! All your data is stored on your device. Just make sure not to wipe the app's data.
- Customizable. Only share the information you want (your first name is your only required field).
- Organized. Create different contact cards for different purposes (personal, work, school, or anything else you can think of).
FAQ:
> Why is the first name field required?
Your contact information is formatted using the vCard format (the same format used when you share a contact from your phone) and is encoded into the QR Code. The vCard format requires the name field to be present; if the name field is not valid, the other person's phone will not accept the encoded data from the QR Code.
> Why can I not add a photo to my card?
Since Rapid Contacts is Offline first and does not use external servers, all the data must be encoded into the QR Code. Unfortunately, there is limited space, and a photo would exceed those limits.
> Why are my labels not showing up correctly on the other person's phone?
After extensive testing, it appears that Android phones don't interpret everything in the QR Code correctly; even when you use the exported data from an Android phone.
