## Review summary

User feedback is largely negative. The most common complaints are an ad-dominated experience that makes the app hard to use, including startup ads and difficulty closing promos. Many users report the app not opening or being slow to start, with frequent hangs and bugs. A recurring issue is forced premium gating that hampers free use. Scanning performance is also hindered by ads. A few reviews offer neutral or brief positive notes, but overall sentiment is strongly unfavorable.

### Cons

- Excessive ads and ad-driven UX that blocks usage (ads on startup, persistent promotions, and difficulty closing ads)
- App often fails to open or is very slow to start, with frequent loading issues
- Frequent bugs and instability (hangs, crashes, poor performance)
- Pushy premium gating that blocks free use and pushes upgrading
- Ads interfere with scanning functionality and degrade the core feature (scanning)
