Common complaints
- ✗Text and digit recognition errors35% of mentions
«Recognizes printed text with errors. Just a jumble of letters and doesn't even try to match similar words. Even where the number 2 is clearly visible, it wrote the number 9.»
- ✗Crashes and freezes on low-end devices25% of mentions
«Often crashes on cheap smartphones, Android Go 8.1. The app launches and freezes almost immediately. Deleted it.»
- ✗Suspicion of sending data to servers15% of mentions
«This app collects your data and sends it to the developer. All our data is immediately sent to your server.»
- ✗No authenticity verification, insufficient functionality20% of mentions
«Does the app have counterfeit detection? It just reads the data and displays it as a list, there's no analysis of that data.»
- ✗Unable to copy or export results15% of mentions
«No text copying. So what's next? How am I supposed to use this data further?»
