don’t recommend

i couldn’t find it on my notification settings i was on the last step.not the best

Not worth it.

You have a free trial the app works brilliant. Suddenly your zapped into a year's subscription and the app doesn't work. I wish I hadn't even downloaded. What a waste of time and money.

Money money money

Cannot use without being spammed with subscription “offers”

Waste of time

Of the ten items I have checked so far I have had to take pictures and input the details. Absolute waste of time

Great app!!!

Very useful, makes life a lot easier for me and my wife (been a real lifesaver!!!)
