Still works great on my device

Useless

From the rating above, subtract ten stars. I would have happily left it at zero, but your insistence pisses me off.

Does not identify even common codes such as Crest toothpaste. Now I remember why I deleted the app years ago.

Doesn’t work

Does not find anything. It’s been years since this app worked. It used to be decent, but now it’s a waste of space.
