At first install, I scanned the catalog page that I intended to order from. But once I was actually ready to start adding items to the "shopping cart", the app wouldn't let me do that. I ended up calling on the phone to place my order. Afterwards I sat down to write this review. Once my review has been successfully sent, I intend to uninstall this app!

Scanned my AAA Living magazine and it makes a glowing , undulating light as it reads the code. Then a video popped up with a UAV video of different locations of Ireland. My first experience, it was OK. Interesting, but not amazing. I will try other codes as I come across them out of novelty.

Not great at all. Expected better. No point in developing an app and putting it out there for people to use if it doesn't work properly. A lot of issues and flaws. Very disappointing. Needs to be scrapped and a new effort made

An awesome technology but can be a little embarrassing when you go to show it to your boss and it keeps crashing! Update: Be aware that if you purchase additional licences intending to use them later you will only have 1 year to hold onto them. We purchased 10 used 4 and were 1 day late in using our next group. Customer service refused to respond. I am updating this review with 1 star because of the instability of the app and lack of customer service in regards to this issue. Overall my experience has left me unable to recommend using Layar to anyone.

Easy to use. Those of you that are having trouble shouldn't blame the app. If you could ad layers that pop out like you see on augmented reality demos, I'd give it 4 stars
