It scans barcodes but does not return remotely accurate results. I searched for three CDs that I knew were in the Spotify based on manual lookups. The Very Best of Aretha Franklin - did not find Elton John’s Greatest Hits 1970-2002 - did not find Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - found Rajaton Sings The Beatles with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra I didn’t expect 100% accurancy and the previous review warned that they got the same bluegrass album as a result. Sorry I didn’t believe you previous reviewer. Developer should rewrite this app or pull from the store because it does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Beware !! *2020-10-06, version 2.0.3* Don’t buy this App all it does is load a tribute album of what you scan ### 1/5 — Can’t recognise most cds *2020-09-07* I tried over 25 of my old cds and it couldn’t recognise the albums. Very disappointing. Don’t but this app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-08-21, version 2.0.3* Will Not Work on my NEW iPad, complete waist of money ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-06-21, version 1.5* Tried to find 10 cds all on Spotify... not found by this. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-06-21, version 1.5* Don't waste your money. By the way can I have my money back because IT DOESNT WORK!!! Should be no stars!!! ### 1/5 — Wasted $$ *2016-12-19, version 1.5* Every scan results in the same Bluegrass album ### 1/5 — Worse than weather forecast *2016-12-04, version 1.5* I was really hopeful that there was finally an app that could help me somehow with saving my CDs into a playlist or something so I can get rid of them. After trying to scan about 20, the app failed to recognize or called up the incorrect CD or just returned error or server busy. The success rate was 4/20 saved correctly. Since I have 400-500 CDs this is unacceptable. Wasted $2! ### 1/5 — Server überlastet *2016-11-20* - der Server ist dauernd überlastet - von 20 CDs wurden lediglich 4 gefunden und bei Spotify eingetragen - die direkte Eingabe bei Spotify ist einfacher und schneller! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-05-12, version 1.5* This App doesn't work with ios9! So why doesn't it say that? Also the app is no longer supported due to poor sales! So why is it on here! Come on you guys at App Store get your act together and stop ripping us off. 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — No Sirve *2016-05-07, version 1.5* Para la mayoría de discos mexicanos esta aplicación NO SIRVE,no gasten su dinero ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-05-05* Tried scanning 4 CDs, none of them worked, with either an error of "server too busy" or "CD not found". Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Server too Busy *2016-03-27* Server too Busy ### 1/5 — Question *2016-03-22, version 1.0* Only scans to Spotify what is available on Spotify. Why did I buy this worthless app? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-04-30* Scanned a few cd’s. Both rare and popular. None were found. Pointless app. App Store should remove this scam trash. ### 1/5 — ? *2025-01-18* 限时免费获取，现在又要收费，不是这样玩 ### 1/5 — Xx scanner review *2023-07-19, version 2.0.3* Can’t believe Iv been scammed by this! Iv just wasted 3.99 for something that’s doesn’t work! It brings up a totally different album when I scan my cd’s! How do I get my money back? ### 1/5 — Does nothing…just sits there *2022-10-05, version 2.0.3* Opened - scanned. It did nothing. I have been conned ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-01-09* This app does not work at all. Some CD that are on Spotify not found and some found but not the right album. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2021-04-19, version 2.0.3* This app is a shocking waste of money. It did not do what I purchased it for. Want a refund! ### 1/5 — Don’t - fake! Total rip off. *2021-02-07, version 2.0.3* Sitting it front of 500+ very mainstream CDs, done about 100 and the app has yet to recognize one single album. It’s a rip off. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2021-01-03* Cannot find most albums and the very few one found redirect to karaoke versions: rip-off ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-12-19* Does not work ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-11-15, version 2.0.3* Waste of money for me. Tried about 20 CDs and it only recognized 1. All the CDs are on Spotify so not sure why it didn’t work. Seems to be a seamless process so disappointed that it did not work for me ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great! *2023-10-30, version 2.0.3* I was a bit sceptical at buying this app based on the reviews but thought I’d give it a shot. Worked great for me. I loads of CDs to scan that I wanted on Spotify, I’d say it worked on 90% of them. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-04-02, version 1.5* Nice idea, really clean and simple to use app. It finds the majority of my CD collection on Spotify. Big time saver. The search server seems under heavy load, but retrying a few times solves the problem. ### 4/5 — Trouve parfois, mais Pas de recherche intuitive *2021-02-23* S’il y a correspondance exacte entre le code barre et l’album présent dans Spotify, ça fonctionne bien. Par contre 9 fois sur 10 le CD est dit « non présent dans Spotify » alors qu’il suffit de faire une recherche manuelle dans Spotify sur le titre et l’interprète et on trouve l’album similaire . Du coup, au lieu de mettre un message d’erreur l’app pourrait proposer un résultat approchant, charge à l’utilisateur d’accepter ou pas. ### 4/5 — Simple but Effective *2019-09-09, version 2.0.3* Used this app to import a whole box of CDs for my Spotify account and has a great hit rate. Minus one star because I’d like for it to be always in scan mode so I don’t have to keep pressing the “Scan” button. ### 3/5 — No demasiado español *2016-03-31, version 1.5* Por ahora no le puedo poner 5 estrellas pues de mis discos, 95% españoles, no me reconoce los 3 cuartos... Por ahora es una mala infusión para los amantes de la música española, en general... ### 3/5 — Luft nach oben *2016-03-29* Immer wieder Meldung "Sever Überlastet". Bulk-Verarbeitung wäre Hilfreich. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
