It tells you exactly what is on the box. ### 4/5 — 商品についているバーコード？ *2026-07-12* 商品についてきたカードに書いてあるバーコード（パッケージの中で唯一のバーコード）を読ませてみたけど、全く読まない。このバーコードで正しいの？ ### 1/5 — App wouldn’t scan bar code *2026-07-04, version 4.0.9* I downloaded the app to try to authenticate a bar code on a ominous business card that had been slipped into my supposedly never opened Dr Pen box. The app would not scar the bar code. ### 1/5 — 読み込めない *2026-06-28* 信頼できないアプリ証明する真正性とは一体なんの意味が。 ### 1/5 — Won’t scan *2026-06-24, version 4.0.6* Does not work at all ### 1/5 — 使いものにならん *2026-06-05* どうやったらスキャンしてくれんのこれ？ ### 1/5 — Worst app. From a company which claims to be top of technology’s *2026-06-02* Hi, Your app is one of the worst app i tried which takes ages to scan. 90% not able to scan. How can u release such a bad app which doesn’t do its basic function. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-05-29, version 4.0.6* Instructions to download the app came with the product purchased on Amazon supposedly to “learn more” about the product and “view usage guidelines video”. I guess this is the easiest way to full customers with the fake app. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2026-05-25, version 4.0.6* This is a barcode scanner. You scan the barcode on the Amazon box and it displays the name of the product and proclaims it authentic. Fooling the app is as simple as reproducing a bar code. ### 1/5 — 全く読み込めない *2026-05-25* バーコードなんかないし、QRコードみたいなのにかざしても読み込めない！ どうすれば見られるの？ ### 1/5 — ゴミ屑 *2026-05-14* 使い物にならない 星一もない ### 1/5 — 何のためのアプリ？ *2026-05-14* 読み込まない。 詳しくはを押したら言語変更できずで何書いてるかわからないしてんてん ### 1/5 — どうしよう *2026-05-10* 全く読み込めない ### 1/5 — Doesn’t request camera permissions *2026-05-03, version 4.0.6* The “Allow Camera Access” button takes me to the privacy settings, but the only options are: “Apple Intelligence & Siri”, “Search”, and “Cellular Data”. There is no option to allow camera access. ### 1/5 — バーコードが読めない *2026-04-24* 説明不足で始めの使い方が不明。 バーコードもピントが合わず読めない。　 最初から使えない。 ### 1/5 — 読み込めない *2026-04-21* カメラが拡大も何もできない上にまったく読み込めない ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-28, version 4.0.9* The code won’t scan in iPad or iPhone. Totally useless. Wish I’d read the reviews before downloading. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-08-19, version 4.0.9* Can never get any codes to scan. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work as advertised *2026-08-14, version 4.0.9* The card that came with my product said to scan the Transparency barcode and view the usage guidelines video. All the video did was advertise the product I already have. Useless. ### 1/5 — BEWARE!!! PREDATORS *2026-08-03, version 4.0.9* SCAM!! BEWARE. App is outdated and doesn’t connect to your printer. It’s the only way you’re able to print stuff, AND IT DOESNT EVEN LET YOU!! If you bought this printer return it and get your money back ASAP!! ### 1/5 — Transpa *2026-08-01, version 4.0.9* Will not scan no code available ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2026-07-26, version 4.0.9* The app doesn't scan the transparency codes ### 1/5 — Another fake attempt to protect IP rights *2026-07-21, version 4.0.9* Amazon sets up “Iliad flow” fake programs so it looks like they are trying to protect the consumer. But I question who is being protected. To me it looks more like the counterfeiters are the ones being protected. So Amazon can get more pennies from more transactions. ### 1/5 — Cannot read barcode *2026-07-16* Fix the first step of your app ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-12, version 4.0.9* I hope Amazon did not send me a fake Dreame vacuum since the app doesn’t pick it up/says the code is invalid. ### 1/5 — Don’t scan the bar code on the enclosed card if you bought the LC-dolida headphones *2026-07-09, version 4.0.9* I figured out that the app scans the bar code on the back of the box is these sleep headphones I bought on Amazon. It does not work with the enclosed card. I still wouldn’t recommend downloading the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful App *2026-07-11, version 4.0.9* Worked out for me, just scanned my stuff and got info on it so its pretty legit I guess ### 5/5 — Apple find card *2026-06-14, version 4.0.6* Nice and easy just download app then use app to scan barcode sets up fast ‼️ ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2026-05-14, version 4.0.6* I’m very confused at the negative reviews and wonder if they are scanning the wrong code. I scanned about a dozen different toys that I have and they all scanned fine. I didn’t have to retry a single one. On my toys, there’s a barcode and something that looks like a QR code. Scan the QR code. Not a single issue. ### 5/5 — app works great *2026-01-10, version 3.0.3* i was just curious to see what this was and saw poor reviews but the app does what it says it does and works great ### 5/5 — functions *2025-07-24, version 3.0.3* works as expected. not sure the exact point of it though. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-07-18, version 3.0.3* I purchased a Yarramate Oil Sprayer and Dispenser from Amazon. This app showed me the product I ordered and listed their support information and return instructions, plus a bunch of recipes with cook times and suggestions. Couldn’t ask for more! ### 5/5 — Works Great *2025-04-05, version 3.0.3* I scanned the code on my order and all of my product information appeared. Wonderful! ### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do *2025-04-03, version 3.0.3* The app does exactly what it is supposed to do. It gives a brief description of the product, shows a picture (or multiple pics in some cases), sometimes a video, and usually provides links for support and sometimes links to Amazon for additional purchases. Its primary use is to verify that the product you have is legitimate, and it does exactly this. Not sure why all the negative reviews or comments about not knowing what it’s for. It is used to verify the legitimacy of a product you are purchasing or (in the case of Amazon and other online retailers) received but can still return. ### 5/5 — Works fine *2025-02-09* I used the app to read the instructions for setting up my Petlibro cat water fountain. The Transparency app scan. Took me to the product information and instruction manual where I found the information I needed. ### 5/5 — Useless App *2024-08-01, version 3.0.3* So… this is the ‘Transparency app’. I thought I can just scan with the Camera app. Was my phone’s camera not transparent enough? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
