Amazing!!!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but this thing is GREAT!!!! I LOVE it! It does exactly what it says it does and it’s so easy to use. Literally a life saver.

This app is a god send. Clear, concise, and reasonable privacy policy. In app purchase is a cheap reasonable addon acting essentially as a way to thank the Dev. Best part is the app does not lock the scanned behind a subscription service like most comparable apps
