For $1.99+tax, I bought "Scan - QR Code and Barcode Reader." I tried it on the only QR Code I have in the papers on my desk. It gave me a signup sheet from Google that required all of my personal information before I could read the translated content. Although I do have one gmail account, the rest of my email accounts are Comcast.

I have two questions: First, is this the QR Code app that you were guiding me to? Second, does Google control the world's QR Code app usage or are there other QR Code generators and readers that have different sponsorship or controllers? In other words, does Google control QR Codes like it controls YouTube? I feel a need to know the territory.
