This program uses version 1.4 of the Quick Response Code guidelines, but it's also compatible with version 2.0, and version „05. Dezember 2013“ of BezahlCode.

**At the moment, most phone apps support neither version fully.** A list of supported applications can be found [here](http://www.bezahlcode.de/anwendungen/).
