## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2026-07-21*

Repeatedly errors at sign up/ login

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2024-10-06*

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.

### 1/5 — Too much info for sign up

*2021-12-29*

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.

### 1/5 — To much personal information

*2021-02-18, version 2.6.0*

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

### 1/5 — Account creation broken.

*2021-01-06, version 2.5.0*

Might be a tool for the production environment, but I may never know.

### 1/5 — No overlay information on demo boards.

*2020-09-24*

Well what a disappointment that was, seeing even load the demo boards due to an outline issue needed for calibration. Not a good start. I hope e developers get this sorted ASAP as you do t get many chances with ppl not returning for a second glance.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t register

*2020-04-14, version 1.11.0*

Also too much personal info required

### 2/5 — What the heck.

*2021-10-22*

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

### 2/5 — why?

*2021-02-07*

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

### 5/5 — Super Cool App

*2020-06-22*

I love this idea so much! I just recently downloaded it and tested it on my Arduino Mega. I see so much potential with the usability of this product. It’s not perfect, but with a little messing around it’s not too hard to figure out. I haven’t tried using my own designs yet, but I’m excited to try it. I really hope they continue to work on this because I see so much potential with this product!

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — KiCad files on the free plan is huge!

*2020-06-02*

I hope the business model works out as the tool is very useful and you get a lot on just the free plan

### 5/5 — Glad to see it on the App Store finally

*2020-05-25, version 1.11.0*

Insanely cool and useful technology for board bring up and testing.
