### 5/5 — No ads blip

*2025-03-21*

I paid to remove the ads. They are now gone, but I still see them or the space for them for a split second. Removing that quirk would make this app perfect.

Update: Quirk was fixed quickly. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Dear Dbaron4,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I'll fix that issue asap.
Have a great day.

### 1/5 — Бесполезно

*2024-09-08, version 3.4.0*

Не нравится

### 4/5 — Quick and Easy day, Peasy

*2022-12-01, version 3.3.0*

Great way to access all sorts of info.  No fuss, no muss.

### 3/5 — Still too new for total review

*2022-03-27*

Looked for a great and free OR scanner. Also I like to read the reviews. How can you choose an app with a 5 stars from 2 reviews. Since I want to pick the app and never have to look to change it cause it does all that I need it to do. The only other reason I would want to change is bad customer service. I doubt that I will get to use customer service cause there was never a reason with my earlier apps ever, no matter what the app. So if all goes well I will be back to give a great review. But also the reverse is true. Doubt still that I will call any customer service unless I was extremely upset. So I will come back and update as I have to since I rely so much on reviews to help make my decisions. I look at the bad ones first. You can see that I write a lot, but I wish others would also do it. More info, better decision and more helpful.
Now I am going but will be back after using the app. I will probably update in around 60 days as I use these often enough. The reason for 3 stars and this early review is that the adds and filling in whatever info they want. They have no info on what to do or say or anything. I am filling out the apps info from just using past history with other items, not only apps but any other things I have filled out for over 45 yrs. So far I am irritated with the 1) lack of info about anything 2) the amount, size and repetitive adds to go to the same pages and 30 second adds at that. I eventually figured out how to remove the one that I get going to the same page to fill out the info THEY need and when I say remove, I mean bring it from 30 seconds down to around 10. I have to end to go fill out more and then hopefully use it and relax instead of writing more like this. Cause if I write more before 60 days I doubt it will be good. Thanks and please wait for a better review. Just had to blow off steam from the filling out of their pages.

**Developer response:** Dear Jimm Emac,
Thank you so much for your review. We hope you will relax and love this application.
If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks and best regards,
