I've got to say this isn't Nintendo's fault fact is their is no app that can read every AR code in every region. Parents should be smart enough to know a QR code is meant for Nintendo apps not just any mobile app. Maybe Nintendo should use AR images in the future that only 3DS can recognize I know it would be far more expensive and harder work but then this could never happen again.

Technically, I don't even think Nintendo has one app on either Android or iOS market.  It was just a matter that they required a specific app instead of some random one this family used.  There are a few QR apps I assume on the market and they simply thought they could use anyone when that wasn't the case.

I don't think it's an app like that. Isn't this more designed Nintendo handhelds that can read QR codes. The DSi/XL and the 3DS as they have cameras.

I think it is an actual app for a cell phone.  These QR codes have been around for awhile.  So I don't think it is for an actual Nintendo system such as the DSi.  I assume to be right because I recently even got a 20th Anniversary Edition for the GBA Micro (which doesn't have internet or a camera).  It came with some papers and I noticed one that had a QR code.  This was an unopened box that was released back around 2005.
