Review summary

Snap Decoder offers a useful tool for decoding key bitting and recording it, especially for certain key types. However, multiple users report significant stability issues including frequent crashes on launch and camera access, particularly on newer Android devices and versions. The app lacks the ability to save progress and cannot load existing photos from the gallery, diminishing convenience. Users also wish for broader key type support and improved compatibility. Despite these cons, the app's core functionality remains helpful for key decoding tasks when it works.

Pros

Accurately decodes certain key types like Kwikset and Schlage.
Useful for determining key bitting and having a record of it.
Good concept and idea behind the app.
Free to use with straightforward functionality.
Helpful in situations where key code is unknown.

Cons

App frequently crashes on launch or when opening the camera, especially on newer Android versions.
Cannot save progress or decoded information within the app.
Lacks ability to load photos from the gallery for decoding; users must take photos within the app.
Limited key types supported; users desire more key series and custom options.
Poor compatibility with current Android software, causing app to not open or operate properly.

2022-06-12	Ro*****	This could be a good app if you were able to use photos from your gallery & be able to add more key blanks I.e "TOY38R" & it really would be good if there was a better expiation of how to use the app.
