## Review summary

Users like its speed, ease of use, and CRM integration, but reliability problems persist: weak OCR, frequent crashes, and UI glitches detract from the experience. Some praise Indian-made branding and general usefulness. Overall, promising but needs fixes to OCR accuracy, stability, and UI polish.

- Outdated design or unreliable syncing; feels abandoned by developers
- Confusing or missing in-app purchase labels
