## Review summary

Users appreciate ScanSeries for fire inspections and accuracy, with helpful customer service and useful features, especially on iOS. However, many report frequent crashes and bugs on Android, issues with barcode scanning orientation, and differences in app functions across platforms causing frustration. Navigation, report formatting, and the inability to multi-select or batch edit devices make the app harder to use. Boot issues and feature limitations reduce overall satisfaction.

- Useful for work purposes in inspections with reports.
- Customer service is helpful in resolving issues.
- Some users find specific features like "beta camera scan" on iOS better than Android default.
- Multi-select and batch operations suggested as desired features.

### Cons

- App frequently crashes, especially when updating, replacing, or adding devices.
- Barcode scanner issues on Android - only works sideways and not upright orientation.
- Differences in functionality and features between Android and iOS versions cause frustration.
- App sometimes fails to boot or gets stuck on initialization on Android devices.
- Navigation and report formatting are confusing, with difficult device organization and correction processes.
