The app runs persistently in the background, requiring manual force stops, leading to battery drain and annoyance. Troubleshooting options are limited and often ineffective.

Cons

Frequently fails to connect or maintain connection with scanners.
Requires manual force stop to close the app; runs constantly in background causing battery drain and persistent notifications.
