User reviews

Fake app

The sole purpose of the app is to collect personal data to send advertising. After exhaustive registration requesting address and postal code, the app freezes after login.

Too much info for sign up

WAY too much info is being requested. Street address, phone number, etc is not needed. Granted the text fields don’t validate the data so you can put in fake info.

Also the app crashes when attempting to take pictures for calibration. Made multiple attempts, but I could not get past this step. This was on an iPhone XR running iOS 15.

What the heck.

Why do you need my full address, name, phone number for a PCB analyzing app? This is so sketchy do not download this or give them this info, you can’t use the app until this info is provided.

If you get rid of this requirement I’ll rate this appropriately it looks like a cool app, but that’s not cool

To much personal information

I downloaded the app just to end up deleting it. The reason, it wants information that has nothing to do with what you would use the app. Makes me think right away there selling personal information to pay for the app. Why would you need email personal address and phone number for a free ar app, something doesn’t make sense so I deleted it

why?

why is so much information needed before even getting the opportunity to test it?
