## Review summary

User reviews show a split: some praise ease of use and fast scanning for event staff, but many report critical reliability issues (login failures, freezes, camera access, scanning problems) and missing customer-focused features. There are also concerns about company reliability and lack of updates. Overall, the app has potential but stability and feature gaps limit widespread adoption.

### Pros

- Easy to understand and manage for small business owners; helps track staff information.
- Fast and highly rated ticket scanning; many users say it’s the best ticket scanner they’ve used.
- Scans physical tickets reliably.
- Great concept with potential; users want it improved and maintained.

### Cons

- Frequent login failures and app freezes/crashes across multiple devices.
- Scanning issues include inability to scan barcodes, camera access problems (black screen), and focusing small barcodes.
- App is not updated or maintained (last update many years ago).
- Lacks customer-facing features (wallet pass support, attendee view, event management) and is vendor-focused.
- Trust concerns about the company (reported bounced checks/refunds and payment disputes).
