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!!!)

Not happy at all

Im honestly so disappointed. I saw good recommendations on this app, loads of people said great things. Tried it myself, I’ve scanned a lot of products and found this app so insightful. But the massive issue I’m having is within 10 minutes of me using the app, I now cannot use it until I pay for a subscription😡 I understand that literally everything has the option of a premium subscription, but it’s seriously ridiculous how it’s forcing me to pay just to use the app. The pop up for the subscription keeps coming up as soon as I press the X.
