## Review summary

Most reviews report unreliable write/erase functionality and stability, with reading working only for some. Frequent crashes during write, device compatibility problems, and overall inconsistency drive negative sentiment. A few users praise easy reading and simple use, but the core issue is unreliable performance and poor support/refund handling.

### Pros

- Card reading works for some users (reads cards without a hitch).
- Users report the app can read and write cards with simplicity when it functions as intended.
- The app is easy to use and navigate (described as easy, even by a 3rd grader).

### Cons

- Inability to write or erase cards (reads only) across multiple reviews.
- Crashes or the app closes when attempting to write, indicating reliability issues.
- Hardware compatibility problems (inconsistent support for Bluetooth MSR devices and direct iPhone connections).
- Overall reliability is inconsistent or unreliable, with many reports of failures or needing improvement.
- Refund requests and contact/support issues (many users want refunds or struggle to get help).
