Developed by Ericsson Mobile application Lab, CardBox is a free android app that lets users exchange contact information with each other via QR code-based contact cards. Using the app, you can generate unique a QR code that conceals your very own contact information including title, designation, company, email location, phone number, social profiles et al. QR codes created via the app can then be shared with other CardBox users. For this, the app sports a native barcode scanner that helps you fetch/read the information contained within the scanned QR code. A contact card scanned via CardBox can be stored permanently in the app’s native address book. Along with displaying just the contact-specific information, a contact card also carries its relevant QR code, so that you can share your contacts with other users conveniently. Not just that; the app also presents you with options to quickly dial, text and/or mail a particular contact. That’s not all; the app even maintains a detailed log of all the ‘QR code-based’ contact cards that you share with other over a course of time, and lets you tag various events to each existing record accordingly. You can also opt to secure the app using a password of your choice. Details, screenshots and download links to follow.
