### 1/5 — Worse than useless

*2020-10-31*

This app can’t detect anything, even when the indicators are red and filling the screen the app can take 3-5 seconds to notice, or just fails to notice completely. It’s potentially harmful and dangerous and shouldn’t be used by anyone.

### 5/5 — Works cool

The other person doesn’t have a phone that supports AR features so ignore them, it works

### 1/5 — Does not work
