## Review summary

Users overwhelmingly preferred the old version of autoniq® VIN Scanner, describing it as fast, simple, and efficient. Since the update, many report the app freezes, logs them out frequently, and takes too long to perform tasks, making it frustrating especially during auctions. Scanning functionality is unreliable, crashing the app. More steps are required for vehicle valuation, and users find the navigation more complicated. Additionally, subscription cancellation is problematic, with poor customer support. Many express intent to discontinue using the app if issues persist.

### Pros

- The old version of the app was highly praised for being fast, simple, and efficient.
- The app provided necessary functionality for scanning VINs and vehicle evaluation before the update.
- Long-term users appreciated the features before recent changes.
- Some users found the app useful and couldn't work without it in its previous form.

### Cons

- The new version frequently freezes and logs users out repeatedly.
- Scanning VINs or barcodes often fails or causes the app to crash.
- The updated app is slower with more complicated navigation and requires more steps for the same tasks.
- No ability to cancel subscriptions properly or receive cancellation confirmation.
- Customer support was unhelpful regarding technical and billing issues.
