How can I scan the QR codes?
Either open the camera app on your smartphone or install a QR reader app (available in the app store). Hold the phone of the QR code and a pop up with a web address for mywebar.com will appear. Open the web address, allow access to the camera and then select play to see the character appear.

The character keeps disappearing as I move my device. What can I do?

I was able to see the first character but now I won’t be able to scan another one?
