### 1/5 — Fix the Scanner

*2025-04-10, version 1.4.2*

Scanner is terrible

### 1/5 — tickets

*2025-03-02, version 1.4.2*

haveing problems scanning

### 1/5 — Disappointed App

*2025-02-28, version 1.4.2*

Every time you close the app out, you get signed out. This needs to be updated. There are so many glitches in this app that is not even funny. Every time I try to scan my ticket It can’t find the barcode correctly. It takes forever to scan it. Then you have to manually enter it. Which is time-consuming. This app really needs work.

### 2/5 — Not Great Lately

*2024-12-27, version 1.4.2*

Have to reinstall every time I want to use it and then the barcode scanner it iffy many times it’s manual entry.  This app needs updating!

### 2/5 — Worthless scammer

*2024-06-25, version 1.4.2*

I seldom write reviews but the scanning function in this app makes it totally useless.   The website version is MUCH better.

### 5/5 — Cant open app

*2024-06-21, version 1.4.2*

I downloaded this app 2 weeks ago. Scanned all my tickets and now I can’t open it. I even rebooted my cell.  Anyone know what’s going on ??

### 1/5 — Barcode scanner rarely works

*2024-04-05, version 1.4.2*

Tried on 2 different phones. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2024-03-26, version 1.4.2*

App ticket scan works sometimes other times it doesn’t. App used to allow voice to fill in ticket number (when scan was inoperable) now it doesn’t. Very inconsistent and annoying. I also don’t like to have to signin every time…why can’t it keep a customer signed in like other apps I use. Just a poorly designed and frustrating experience.

### 3/5 — Horrible scanning

*2024-02-21, version 1.4.2*

App is great when scanning scratch tickets, horrible when scanning draw tickets. It worked for a while, but now it never EVER scans draw tickets. Fix your scanner please. I’m sick of entering the ticket number in for every draw ticket I enter.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-02-03, version 1.4.2*

It’s a fun concept. Absolutely terrible execution. I scanned 100 tickets and they all came up as “invalid ticket”. Basically NY States way of f—-ing people over. Like they always do 🙄
