A QR TIGER alternative for app download QR codes

QR TIGER is a QR code generator with many code types, one of them an App Stores QR code. SetLinks starts from the link: one short address and one QR code that open the right store on every phone.

QR TIGER (qrcode-tiger.com, also known as QR Code Tiger) makes QR codes for menus, vCards, files, social profiles and app stores, with rich design options: logos, colours, frames and patterns. Its App Stores QR code sends iOS, Android and HarmonyOS devices to their stores, and dynamic codes can be edited and tracked.

If app downloads are the only reason you print a code, SetLinks gives you the code and a short link that works everywhere you cannot print — bios, emails, ads — with the same routing and statistics, and RuStore on top.

The trade-off is design. QR TIGER is built around how the code looks; SetLinks around where it leads and what happens after the scan. If your brand team needs a code in its colours with a logo in the middle, that weighs in QR TIGER’s favour.

Pick SetLinks if

Your code is for app downloads, and you also need the same link as text.
You need RuStore, or want clicks and scans in one report by platform.
You want a plain, highly scannable code and to change its stores later.

Pick QR TIGER if

Design matters most: logos, colours, frames and patterns on the code itself.
You need many QR types besides apps — menus, vCards, files, Wi-Fi.
You need features like geofencing, scan notifications or code expiry.

What SetLinks does

One short link and QR code per app: iPhone to the App Store, Android to Google Play, Huawei to AppGallery, RuStore for apps not on Google Play or AppGallery, computers to your website and everyone else to your fallback URL.
In-app browsers such as Instagram and TikTok, which often cannot open a store, get a page with an “Open in store” button instead of a dead end.
Click analytics by day, platform, country and source, with CSV export. QR scans count as clicks and are also shown on their own; link-preview bots are not counted at all.
Change destinations at any time — the address and printed QR codes stay the same.
On plans that include them: your own domain (go.yourbrand.com), opening your app when it is installed (iPhone on setlinks.io, iPhone and Android on your domain), campaign tags passed to the stores, teams with roles and a REST API with read and write keys.

What it does not do

There is no SDK, so no deferred deep linking: a link is not carried through the install into a screen inside your app.
It does not attribute installs to ad networks. It passes the campaign to the store, so App Store Connect and Google Play Console show installs per link.

Moving from QR TIGER, step by step

Printed QR TIGER codes point at its domain, so the move happens with the next print run.

List your app store codes Note each App Stores code’s destinations and where it is printed.
Create SetLinks links One link per app with all its stores and a fallback. Download its QR code as SVG for print.
Use the new code on the next print Keep the old dynamic codes active until the old prints are gone.
Share the short link too Put the same SetLinks address in bios, emails and ads, so print and digital traffic land in one report.

Questions people ask

Can one QR code open both the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. A SetLinks QR code sends each phone to its own store: iPhone to the App Store, Android to Google Play, Huawei to AppGallery, and RuStore when that is the only store you list for Android.

Can I change where the code leads after printing?

Yes. Edit the link’s destinations in SetLinks; the printed code keeps working.

Can I add a logo to the code?

No. SetLinks makes a standard dark code in PNG and SVG, which scans reliably. If a branded design matters most, a QR design tool is the better fit.

Are scans limited?

No. Traffic is unlimited (fair use) on every plan, including the free one.

Do scans show up separately from clicks?

Yes. Scans count as clicks and are also shown on their own, by day, platform, country and source.

What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?

A static code holds the final address itself and can never change. A dynamic code holds a short link that redirects, so the destination can be edited and scans counted. Every SetLinks QR code is dynamic in this sense.

Does the code work on Huawei phones without Google services?

Yes. SetLinks recognises them and sends them to AppGallery if you add your AppGallery link, then to RuStore, never to Google Play, which those phones do not have.
