As of version 1.11.0, “QRcard Premium” was renamed to “QRcard Enterprise Edition” as it caused some confusion with the similar “Premium Version” in app purchase inside the regular app.

What are the differences between standalone app "QRcard Enterprise Edition" and the regular app

Staring with version 1.3.0 you’ll find a second version of QRcard in the App Store: QRcard Enterprise Edition. It contains all the features you’d get with the regular App, plus those unlocked with the Premium In-App purchase. QRcard Enterprise Edition is intended to be used by companies who want to deliver the app to their employees. As a non-business user, keep using the regular version.

Highlights of “QRcard Enterprise Edition”:

It has the following limitations:

  • No In-App Purchases (e.g. additional cards) are available.

Where is my personal data stored?

Why does my new friend not get all my contact information?

iOS: please update to iOS 11 or later and use the camera app

Android: Most Android devices (except for Samsung) are not able to read and store multiple URLs or addresses from a QR Code. That’s why URLs, Social Media Profiles are also stored as a ‘Remark’.

  • Google Lense: If the QRCode is scanned through Google Lens only 1 URL or 1 Social Media Profile and only 1 Address can be stored unfortunately, there is not much we can do about this right now.

You can use the app QR & Barcode Scanner instead of the normal camera

Why is my phone number not formatted?

Please enter your phone number including your country-code. e.g. +12133734253
