### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-04-06, version 2.1.1*

One of those apps you might use seldom, but super grateful to have it! 

Add a donation button! I think I owe you a coffee or two!

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2025-07-14, version 2.0*

Free. Simple. No data collected. Not perfect but well worth five stars in my book.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2025-02-24, version 2.0*

Barely works, picks up one or two symbols a time only instead of all of the ones on the label and then it doesn’t do anything else? My brain does the exact thing this app does, why can’t I save labels for my garments? Or put them in categories so I can go “oh I have these garments to wash, I should run this cycle” Why can’t I organise stuff to actually make my life easier instead of doing what google or my own brain cells do. 

Crazy pointless.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-01-12*

Tenho uma bebê e mil tipos roupas pra lavar. Esse app já me salvou de fazer cagada nas roupas dela, e também no uso de lavanderias compartilhadas

**Developer response:** Olá ronnyVonn,

Muito obrigado pela avaliação positiva! Ficamos felizes em saber que o Laundry Lens tem sido útil para você, especialmente no cuidado com as roupas da sua bebê. Continue aproveitando o aplicativo e, se tiver alguma sugestão ou dúvida, não hesite em nos contatar.

### 5/5 — Sensacional

*2024-10-01*

Esse APP me ajuda muito no dia a dia! ele realmente me salva de estragar minhas roupas hahaha

### 4/5 — Schwarz-Weiße Symbole wären besser

*2024-08-07*

Im Prinzip eine sehr gute App, die genau tut, was sie soll. Nur sind die farbigen Symbole leider teilweise schwer zu erkennen – vor allem Hellgrün und Gelb. Es wäre gut, wenn man die optional auf Schwarz-Weiß umstellen könnte. Dann wäre die App für mich problemlos 5 Sterne wert.

### 5/5 — Buena

*2024-06-07*

Guuy guijarro

### 1/5 — Précision du scan

*2024-06-05, version 1.1.1*

Difficulté à scanner les petit symboles

### 5/5 — 100% Useful

*2024-05-19, version 1.1.1*

This is one of those apps that makes a chore easier.

### 5/5 — Worked on the 1st Try!

*2024-05-18, version 1.1.1*

GRATEFUL!! Tip: use the flash light and hold the camera steady for to to detect. Works awesome!
