I just bought the wheelbarrow a couple of months ago and the video to build it is already inactive? SMH. ### 1/5 — elementary, don’t waste your time *2019-05-11, version 7.1.1* This app can’t even scan anything most of the time. it should first get the scanning and searching right before putting up for download. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-02-26* This app is great it’s save me money got me good deals and will scan the product I love l and gives me A lot of good information about the products and give me good deals to save on them and other products a like! ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2019-01-20, version 7.0.9* Won’t scan anything. Reloaded, updated. Still nothing. Junk ### 4/5 — Thanks! *2019-01-20, version 7.0.9* I like it. It’s fast and efficient. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work with iPhone XR *2019-01-10, version 7.0.9* I used this app with my iPone 6 with no problem. However, I was disappointed to find it does not scan using my iPhone XR. All I get is a message that says “Camera is on, tap screen to scan bar code.” When I tap the screen, nothing happens. Now I have to find a new scan app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work *2021-09-24, version 9.0.3* Repeatedly shows Tap Screen for scanner. Never scans. Since it limits the number of scans, it’s useless. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-01-11, version 7.1.1* iPhone 11. Scanner is useless. If it does do a scan results are “...can’t find a product...” ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2020-10-31, version 7.1.1* This app has become useless! Every scan produces; “Sorry! We looked everywhere and couldn’t find the product info you were looking for.” Even I scan the barcode on a candy bar!! Absolutely not as gods as it once was. I’m searching for it’s replacement! Disappointing ### 1/5 — Used to work great... *2020-08-29, version 7.1.1* Used to be a great app. Last few times I’ve needed it..it finds nothing.. tried with cellular & without.. still nothing. Sorely disappointed & sorry to see it go. Not keeping on my phone anymore, deleting today. ### 1/5 — Pas bon *2020-08-05, version 7.1.1* Ne fonctionne pas ### 1/5 — Malísima *2020-03-07, version 7.1.1* No me deja exportar mi propia tarjeta QR, la aplicación se cierra repentinamente. La mitad de los códigos de barra no los lee. Ya la he desinstalado. No la recomiendo. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-03-01, version 7.1.1* I have use this app all over California - in major name brand items and I always get the same answer—sorry we’ve looked everywhere and cannot find this item. Deleting now! ### 1/5 — NO SCAN INFORMATION AT ALL *2020-02-06, version 7.1.1* This app does NOT work!! Also, the description written for this app is VERY MISLEADING and absolutely NOT worth your time and effort!!!! I am extremely disappointed in this app. I started scanning as soon as I downloaded the app. UNFORTUNATELY, every single code I scanned, from hamburger helper to yogurt containers, not one piece of information came up. Instead, I got messages like, “this is so embarrassing but we couldn’t find anything”. and “SORRY! We looked everywhere but couldn’t find the product you were looking for”. SERIOUSLY?!?! It couldn’t find HAMBURGER HELPER?!?🤦🏼‍♀️😳 ### 1/5 — Of no value *2020-01-24, version 7.1.1* No matter what barcode I scan no meaningful info is returned. What has happened to this once useful app? ### 1/5 — Scans nothing! *2019-11-12, version 7.1.1* Tried 15 different products and came back with a animation apologizing for no data! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Título Scaner de código - Scanlife *2021-01-12, version 7.1.1* Bueno quiero reseñar sobre el escáner “Scanlife”, me sirve para los códigos redondos. Lo uso poco. Scanlife escánea casi fenomenal le pongo un 1. ### 5/5 — Excellent product!! *2020-09-20, version 7.1.1* In this day & age you cannot walk around without this app on your phone. So easy to use, just open app & scan. ### 5/5 — Car license renewal *2020-07-21, version 7.1.1* I used this to renew the license on my car, and it was super easy! ### 5/5 — Util *2020-07-03, version 7.1.1* Me ha servido para conocer la carta del restaurante ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2020-06-16, version 7.1.1* Gracias muy bien la aplicación ### 5/5 — It’s quick.
