## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What is this

*2025-03-17*

Whaaaaaaaaaat

### 1/5 — Inexcusably awful at any price

*2025-02-13*

This app is so poorly, sloppily built it is almost certainly in violation of the app store’s policies. If a trade show requires you to purchase this (likely for hundreds of dollars), you should be prepared for irritation and disappointment. If you are a trade show considering this app, understand it will be a bad mark on your own reputation and a negative for any of your exhibitors. I honestly question the essential competence of a trade show organization that would offer this to its customers. 

The UI is incomprehensibly poor - everyone at the show was struggling just to capture and export leads. The show needed a dedicated technical support desk just to explain what should be an extremely simple app. The key buttons have no icons and are literally labeled “Item 1”, “Item 2,” “Item 3”. If I saw this as a semester project from a second year engineering student I would grade it a D. Instead I was forced to pay hundreds of dollars just to be forced to use it to access our leads at a show.

### 1/5 — Let go of so much control.

*2024-04-17*

The fact you can’t copy and paste an email address or phone number directly from here is mind blowing. People use their phones to send emails. The hoops you need to jump through is a huge issue, not to mention the constant crashes when scanning potential customers QR codes.

### 1/5 — Sign in issues

*2022-09-09*

Sign in to app with correct user name and password and it does not enter the app. It instead displays my iPhone screen

### 3/5 — Nice app but needs ability to choose camera

*2013-12-19*

Only in trial mode and seems to scan fine. Frustrating that app doesn't allow option to choose front or back camera. This would be great to use iPad on stand like a kiosk to scan from. Will better my rating when this is incorporated

### 5/5 — Ez to work with team and App

*2025-01-20*

Gracias use on many shows!  The. Est!

### 5/5 — Best Lead Retrieval scanner

*2014-08-09*

Top of the line app.  Easy to use; highly recommended.
