Send users straight to the App Store or Google Play with one scan. Here is how to build and track app download QR codes using QRTRAC.
Getting people to download your app from a physical print ad is tough. If they have to search the App Store manually, you lose them. An App Download QR code solves this. It uses a single link that detects whether the user is on an iPhone or an Android device. Then, it instantly routes them to the correct store page.
Table Tents: Get diners to download your table-service ordering app while they wait for their food.
Checkout Counters: Put a code on your cash register display to sign shoppers up for your loyalty app during checkout.
Product Boxes: Print the code on the back of your product packaging so customers can find your setup guide app immediately.

When you build the code, you paste in your Apple App Store URL and your Google Play URL. Our redirect server checks the user-agent header of the scanning device. iPhones go to Apple; Android devices go to Google.

Log into your QRTRAC dashboard and visit the Generator section.
Select this specific QR code type from the available options.
Enter your destination data (such as URLs, contact info, or app store links).
Customize the design with your brand colors, logo, and a clear call-to-action frame.
Generate, test the code on multiple devices, and download it in high-resolution SVG or PNG format.
Static QR codes hardcode your links. If your app store link changes, your printed codes break. Dynamic codes let you update the destination URL inside your QRTRAC dashboard anytime without changing the printed image.
