## Review summary

Many users praise Zappar for being fun and engaging when it works and for enabling easy fan interaction. However, multiple reviews highlight reliability problems: frequent crashes, scanning/reading ZapCodes failing, poor support and outdated docs, compatibility issues on older devices/OS versions, and privacy-permission concerns. The dominant recurring themes are stability and scan functionality, with a clear split between positive sentiment from those who experience it well and frustration from users who encounter crashes, non-reading codes, and support gaps.

### Pros

- Fun and engaging experience when the app functions correctly.
- Convenient tool for fan interaction and engagement, with smart features.
- Overall positive user sentiment and enthusiasm (users express they love or enjoy the app).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or inability to open the app (launch crashes, immediate closures).
- ZapCode/AR scanning failures: codes not read, app doesn’t respond to zaps, or shows 'unknown' status.
- Poor or slow support and outdated or unhelpful documentation.
- Compatibility issues on older devices/OS versions (e.g., iOS 14 problems, older iPads) leading to connectivity or AR issues.
- Privacy concerns and heavy permission prompts (requiring access to device folders/camera just to open the app).
