### 4/5 — Не распознаёт пятирублёвую купюру

*2026-03-30*

Приложение не распознаёт купюру в 5 российских рублей нового образца. Исправьте, пожалуйста

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте!

Спасибо за ваш отзыв и оценку. В настоящее время мы работаем над извлечением банкноты и добавлением её в базу данных. Пожалуйста, проявите терпение.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-11-01, version 1.74.1*

This is a great app and works incredibly well with VoiceOver

### 3/5 — Es buena y una estupidez a la vez

*2025-09-16, version 1.74.1*

Es una estupidez que hay que estar pagando por una aplicación. Deberían poner una gratuita aunque quieran de pago. Porque las personas sigas deberían tener costos más bajos o incluso no pagar. Qué estupidez la aplicación. Son muy estúpidos

### 5/5 — Muito preciso

*2025-04-21, version 1.71.2*

Para cegos ele é muito bom e preciso ajuda bastante no dia a dia

### 5/5 — Está muy buena

*2025-04-01, version 1.71.1*

Está muy buena.   Es la mejor aplicación de dinero, accesible para ciegos del mundo.

### 3/5 — Con cada actualización que llega se vuelve más laburioso detectar el peso colombiano

*2025-02-21, version 1.71*

En la última actualización hubo una desmejora total para leer los billetes de peso colombiano y siempre ha habido una alta dificultad para leer el billete de 5000 pesos
Esta actualización es la peor que ha habido durante todo el tiempo de Cash Reader la deja con mucha dificultad para leer los billetes

### 5/5 — Cash Reader

*2025-02-20, version 1.71*

This app is amazing 
It helps me to be completely independent 
With this app I really don't feel like I'm blind 
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this amazing app

### 5/5 — Highly effective, quick and reliable

*2025-02-02, version 1.70*

My go to tool for recognizing cash. Works fantastic no regrets.

### 5/5 — Banknoten blind erkennen? mit CashReader geht das ganz fix!

*2025-01-07, version 1.68*

Nein, es ist nicht der Erste seiner Art, allerdings der mit Abstand schnellste und, fast noch wichtiger, der Währungskundigste. Ich habe die App mit Euro-, Franken- und Dollar-Noten getestet. Auch nach 20 Durchläufen leistete sich CashReader bei mir keinerlei fehler. Ein weiteres schönes Schmankerl des CashReader ist der alternativ zur Sprachansage mögliche Anzeigemodus per Vibrationsimpuls-Matrix. Das macht die Sache dann auch noch angenehm diskret.. ICH halte CashReader für eine wirklich sinnvolle App-Investition.

### 5/5 — Díky

*2024-12-28, version 1.68*

Neocenitelný pomocník k nezaplacení.💯🙇‍♂️

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.79 — 2026-08-08

Important: This is the last version of Cash Reader for iOS 15, 16 and 17. All future app updates and new features will require iOS 18 or newer.

If you stay on iOS 15, 16 or 17, Cash Reader will keep working. You will even keep receiving recognition updates, because improved models are downloaded directly from our servers, with no App Store update needed. However, this only applies to the currencies and banknote values the app already recognizes today. New currencies and new banknote values can no longer be added to this version.

Tip: If your iPhone supports iOS 18, we recommend updating in Settings, General, Software Update, so you do not miss out on anything new.

And for the majority of you already on iOS 18 or newer: moving to a newer iOS lets us build on the latest technology, so you can look forward to the newest features coming to Cash Reader!

### 1.78 — 2026-07-22

Currency conversion now also works for the Turkish lira and the Albanian lek. Cash Reader announces the recognized foreign banknote and then tells you its value in your home currency.

Fixed several minor bugs.
