## Review summary

CollectA AR is praised for its fun and engaging augmented reality dinosaur features with good graphics enjoyed by children. However, multiple users report critical flaws including non-functional buttons limiting the app to just photo-taking, license key errors blocking access, unclear scanning instructions, and UI elements appearing in photos. There is also dissatisfaction with customer support responsiveness. While the concept and AR implementation are appreciated, technical issues significantly hamper the user experience.
