### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-10-15*

So this app sounded like what I need homework with links printed on it and then I download it  and ho the scammer over my page on the link it brings me to YouTube but not the actual video of it sees YouTube it will bring you to there just not to the vid don’t install would give 0 stars if I could man fix this it would be good otherwise I’ll fix my review if you fix this app

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-01-02*

It works great I have no issues

### 2/5 — Not worth your time

*2020-09-19*

Only works when it wants to. It is a good concept but needs much work!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2020-07-08*

This app was just what I was looking for. My textbooks have tons of url links for examples of concepts and further reading. This saves me so much time!

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2020-03-07*

terrible recognition

### 5/5 — Love love this app!

*2019-11-12*

I spent almost an hour looking for an OCR app. The ones that I tried did a TERRIBLE job scanning/reading URLs. 
This app is SO EASY! It quickly detects it and takes you to that site. 
Well done guys!!

### 3/5 — Works, but not worth the subscription price

*2019-09-02*

I dislike that there is just one subscription price available, which bundles all the apps. It’s a more than reasonable price if I actually WANTED any of the company’s apps, but I really just want to throw a couple bucks at THIS app to make ads go away. Pity that there isn’t an option like this, because I’d give it five stars otherwise. The app itself does exactly what I’d hoped it would.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t function correctly.

*2018-12-11*

It only picks up a very small portion of the url and searches up the main website. What’s the point of having this if it doesn’t look up long urls which is the reason for it being needed to begin with?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-10-01*

Tried on several printed urls. Camera would see url within box but app wouldn’t process it. Nothing happens
