What is a QR Code?

A QR code (or quick response code) is a unique matrix bar code that lets people instantly follow a link to an internet page using a Smartphone with the required App.  Here's how it works and what you can do with it:
  1. Check that your phone can scan a QR code with its camera, either with an application that you download or via software that's already installed on your phone (use a search engine to find an App if your phone doesn't have one - search online from your phone and many sites will ensure that one is downloaded that exactly matches your phone's make and model).
  2. Then use the App on your phone to scan the image to the right.  The image has a QR code that takes you straight to reviews of Merdeka on Amazon.co.uk.  

And that's it!  Apparently QR codes are becoming more and more popular as a quick and easy way to capture and share information.  Your support in sharing the one on this page would be hugely appreciated!
