### 1/5 — Faulty Unreliable Time Waster

*2021-08-02*

If I could give this App 0 Stars I would but then it wouldn’t be a Review. Skip this App it does not work efficiently and cannot complete basic Functionality. The UI is rudimentary at Best. The Application to take a picture and gain information just gets stuck loading. This App isn’t functional and from the other reviews makes you pay to play. Steve Jobs would roll in his grave over this Garbage. On to the next App to scan Nutritional Facts or I’ll just create my own if need be off to the Matrix Simulation.
