It was an excellent app and great for tracking what sets you have and wishlists, but since the last update and becoming a subscription based app, it's terrible. You only get 12 free scans. I scanned 4 minifigures, and it told me I had used all 12 scans and asked me to subscribe. I'm guessing that as you can now scan multiple codes that it counts each scan as 3 even if you only have 1 code in the viewer?

Had this app for a while and was disappointed when the scan features was a little buggy at launch. I wouldn't have bothered with keeping this app if I had known about the "12 free scans". It's like the developer saw how many people were interested and only then decided to sneak in the subscription model. Would love a one time payment or even ads.
