### 1/5 — Non funziona!

*2022-11-29, version 1.5*

Dopo la installazione dell'app, fatta più volte, il dispositivo si connette e poi si disconnette immediatamente dopo. iPad di 9 generazione. Non avete più rilasciato aggiornamenti da quanto tempo? Giorgio

### 3/5 — Fix the bugs

*2017-11-20*

The Iris pen 7air is a nice gadget, but limited by software glitches. The text to speech does not work on the iPhone with iOS 11.1 . It does however work after a fashion on the iPad Air. Needs upgrading!!

### 3/5 — No autosave really lets down a good app

*2016-11-29*

The pen and app together work well and it scans efficiently and correctly the majority of the time. However, if you don't save after each scanned section you are likely to loose the scans as it doesn't do it automatically. The way it is set up makes the save not intuitive because it means that you click save then have to touch the writing area again to make sure the typing area is active again. 
The problem i had was i was doing scans of lines in the order they are in the book but a few did not save due to me forgetting to do it after every line and leaving the app to look up a word for instance, then when i go to re scan those lines i have to reposition the cursor for each line as after each line it jumps to the end of the document instead of staying at the end of where i am.

### 1/5 — Ridicola

*2016-05-20, version 1.5*

L'idea é ottima ma la pratica lascia MOLTO a desiderare... La penna impiega ORE a trascrivere una frase dal libro al pc (idem se si usa su cellulare o tablet); ci sono molti errori frequenti e l'applicazione cancella i documenti anche se sono stati salvati! 
Inoltre si incanta spesso... Lavorare così non é possibile! Correggete questi bug per favore!!!

### 2/5 — ! À quand la mise à jour iOS 9 !

*2016-01-17*

Je viens de recevoir l'iris pen air 7 ! Et impossible de le connecter avec quoi que ce soit. Sur l'application pour iPad il y a un message d'erreur qui parle d'un problème de connections wifi , alors que je suis bel et bien connecté et que internet fonctionne ! 
Au regard de votre description j'ai vu qu'il n'y avait pas encore de compatibilité avec les dernier mise à jour iOS ! 
Je met 2* pour le concept, mais sans pouvoir vraiment utiliser l'appli... Je suppose et espère  que sur des version iOS inférieure (7/8) ça fonctionne très bien.
Vivement la mise à jour de votre application

### 1/5 — Darauf kann man verzichten

*2015-12-04*

Iris verspricht wieder einmal mehr als das Produkt halten kann. Die Scan-Ergebnisse des IRISPen Air 7 sind mehr als bescheiden. Bei den meisten Versuchen wird der Nutzer auch noch beschimpft: "Schlechter Scan". Wenn dann doch ein Ergebnis auf dem iPhone erscheint, ist es meist voller Fehler, die dann mühsam per Hand korrigiert werden müssen. Außerdem ist es ermüdend, bei längeren Texten eine Seite Zeile pro Zeile abzufahren. Ebenfalls sehr ärgerlich: bei der Bestellung wurde "kostenlos" eine Scanner-Mouse mitgeliefert, die aber bei einem Mac wegen fehlender Software nicht funktioniert - worauf jedoch bei der Bestellung nicht hingewiesen wurde. Alles in allem für den "Sonderpreis" von 149,01 € ein weitgehend nutzloses Produktpaket.
