### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2024-12-14, version 15.01*

Love it

### 4/5 — New update ruined app

*2024-11-28, version 14.62*

10year plus paying customer. Their new reskin is not useable. Lots of places where you get locked in and have to restart the app. Lots of bad design choices in screen real estate and basic UX principals. Zero research or requests for feedback from actual paying customer like me. And reaching out to support gets a copy paste response without any genuine answers.  
*Couple months later they did push an update with some improvements. I still wish y’all would just follow a typical ux path. Grab a cohort of some users, show em some screens, gather feedback, test, iterate. Lobbing developer choices at users without any user input is an easy way to lose customers.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-09*

This app simply doesn’t work as advertised. I purchased the subscription, but it didn’t find any product I scanned or searched and just showed no product found message! Not even the most popular products available in Amazon. It’s probably scam!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-09-24, version 14.51*

The new version is a disaster. 15+ year paying customer and I have to quit. Madness.

### 1/5 — Nothing showed

*2024-08-30, version 14.51*

Scanned many titles and nothing was ever found.

### 1/5 — New update ruined app

*2024-07-21*

### 1/5 — Usa only and it takes 2 mins to log in!!

*2022-02-01, version 13.43*

You should tell everyone before they pay .. it works only in the usa

Im in canada…

Paid $10 for nothing!

### 1/5 — Company is corrupt

*2021-10-27, version 13.19*

This company is out to take your money and give you nothing on return.

### 1/5 — So glitchy it’s unusable

*2021-10-05, version 13.19*

Anything I scan is either invalid or causes the app to crash.  Literally any other app seems to be able to accomplish basic things that this app struggles with

### 1/5 — WHY DO PEOPLE RECOMMEND THIS APP

*2021-09-03, version 13.19*

Doesn’t work AT ALL. It’s not even worth the wasted time downloading it!
