HTML5 wallets and QR Code scanning on iOS

[enriquez]

I found a way to make QR code scanning easier for iOS users. Right now, most web wallets do QR code scanning by taking a picture and hoping that it is clear enough to scan. It can take a few tries if you don't get a good picture.

I came up with an iOS app that is simply a QR code scanner. It can be launched with a link that can specify a callback url which gets passed the qr code data after scanning.

The QR Code app is called Scan Code: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scan-code-qr-code-reader/id828167977?mt=8

It works with an HTML5 wallet I've been working on called Coin Pocket: https://coinpocketapp.com

Sounds good but there is still a problem with security ... you have to use online wallet.
But it is some method for iOS sad users.

Coin Pocket is as native as we can get on iOS without any weird workarounds. It stores the encrypted private key in the browser and it continues to work if the server goes down. I still wouldn't recommend storing a significant amount, just enough to spend with.

Cool thing.  Now I do understand it much better. 
I am as well very happy that people figured out ways to have a btc wallet on iOS.
