### 2/5 — A me non piace, è scomoda.

*2018-06-10, version 2.0*

Il problema della pubblicità è stato risolto. Ma dopo che si usa un po’ ci si rende conto che è scomoda, ogni volta che si spegne il display dell’iphone, bisogna digitare di nuovo la password. La lettura di codice a barre dovrebbe essere pronta all’uso rapidamente e non con la pausa per trovare di nuovo il server, digitare password ogni volta.

### 5/5 — Funziona molto bene

*2018-03-25, version 2.0*

L’ho presa per il mio negozio: una volta configurato il programmino sul computer funziona alla grande.

### 5/5 — Un vero lettore ad emulazione tastiera

*2018-03-12, version 2.0*

Il nuovo scanner pro è davvero migliorato!!
App utile e facile da usare. Una volta scaricato il programma Java dal sito la configurazione è immediata. Lettura veloce e precisa! Ottimo 😄😄

### 4/5 — Works now!

*2016-01-04*

Finally able to use after camera permission update! Easy to set up and connect to my Mac. Handles UPC codes easily, but doesn't read RepairShopr inventory codes. Support from the developer is great, they responded quickly and let me know as soon as the update was available. Will certainly give 5 stars if other codes are supported.
