It works fine..

Everyone saying there’s no where to put your mturk ID didn’t actually go through the whole explanation. The app works fine, I put in my ID, and I got paid 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not working as intended

Had to return a HIT because the app has not and will not, despite deleting it and reinstalling, ask for Turk ID. It also doesn’t scan the area and allow hologram placement so no reason to keep going with it! It’s a shame as it looked really neat to fiddle with other wise.

Not working

I received an offer from BJ’s and was asked to use this app to scan the ZapCode. The app opens and seems scanning the code and beeping… but it doesn’t read the code 🤔 under “recents” it says unknown and clicking on it doesn’t do anything. The app isn’t working

Cannot scan

This app cannot scan codes. Period.

Tried many different ones and never works. Looks like expect the code to fill the entire camera field of view.
No-one print codes that big.

Zapper, rhymes with crapper

This app is broken. Never should have left the testing environment.
