Which QR code app are you using?

Scan for iPhone (the one they recommend on their site).

Very strange, I use that too and never see any ads. Thanks for bringing this up - going to look into it.

Oh wait, I'm an idiot - of course this isn't your app that's showing the ads, because you don't have one. It's the QR app, which I downloaded just to try your service, and mistakenly thought of as yours. Sorry about that.

Turns out that the app's "More" menu contains a upgrade option that will remove the ads for $0.99. Problem solved.

No biggie man. I must have paid for mine so long ago that I forgot they had ads!

Suggestion: pop a note on your landing page about in-app ads in the QR app. If someone posting on HN can get crossed wires about where the ads come from, Joe Random Six Pack Marketer is definitely going to get mixed up.

(I'll eventually have to change my BlackBerry won't I?)

Out of curiosity, does the QR app you used load webpages within the app?

Mine (RL Classic) asked me if I wanted to open the webpage and launched Safari.

It loads in the app, and there's a button that gives me the option to load in Safari if I want to.
