FAILED!!!

I can’t even get this to work. As soon as I load a photo into it, it tells me I’ve already used my one use, and doesn’t count or do anything. THEN, it’s $120 A MONTH! to use this junk app that doesn’t work! NEXT!!!

Waste of money

This app is expensive and very inaccurate.
I tried to use it for our annual inventory at the manufacturing plant I work at and while comparing the hand count and the app count the quantity off was very significant. More than 10% off. Do not waste your time or money on this app.
