### 5/5 — Gut gemacht

*2015-11-08*

Die App tut was sie soll, ist schön gemacht, und ich konnte bisher auch keine Fehler entdecken. Dass man sich die App vorher anschauen kann, bevor man die 99 Cents zahlt, ist ein Vorteil dieser App und hat nichts mit "Verarsche" zu tun.

### 1/5 — Verarschung

*2015-10-02*

Bitte nennt doch lieber einen Preis für eure App, wenn ihr kostenlos nichts leisten wollt. So fühle ich mich verarscht und lösche diese App und kaufe lieber bei den Ehrlichen.

### 1/5 — NICHT laden!!

*2015-08-21*

Die kostenlose Version ist noch nicht einmal das Datenvolumen wert, dass es benötigt.

### 1/5 — Fragwürdig

*2015-07-19*

ich finde es schon sehr fragwürdig, wenn eine App im Namen das Wort "umsonst" führt, und man dann doch bezahlen muss, wenn man die App komplett nutzen will. Das ist in meinen Augen Bauernfängerei.

### 5/5 — wie peinlich die leute

*2015-06-13*

wie peinlich ihr seit als ob das programm von alleine geschrieben wurde sofort besxhwert ihr euch wenn ihr etwas bezahlen müsst.

ihr geldgezigen!

### 2/5 — Maue Gratisversion

*2014-11-08*

Technisch funktioniert die App - soweit beurteilbar - sehr gut. Die Gratisversion jedoch nur mit den Kennzeichen mit den Anfangsbuchstaben A und B zu fahren, ist etwas mau.

### 1/5 — Betrug!

*2014-09-06*

Eigentlich kein Stern aber man muss ja mindestens Eins geben. Im Titel steht umsonst. Schon das erste gesuchte Kennzeichen wird nicht gefunden und ich werde gezwungen die angeblich komplette Datenbank zu kaufen!

### 1/5 — Nur Kennzeichen von A-B, der Rest kostet!

*2014-07-18*

Schade!

### 1/5 — So unbrauchbar

*2014-07-18*

In der kostenlosen Version nur die Buchstaben A-B.
Das können viele andere besser.

### 1/5 — Nach dem Update geht nichts mehr

*2014-07-14*

Sehr schade.
