How do you mess up the main thing the app is supposed to do?

The camera is a fixed focus and the exposure is super high so you can’t even scan things
Terrible execution

The camera is like pointing a thermal camera at a hot sidewalk. It’s like solid white barely able to see anything. Somehow I got it to scan and basically it just confirms that the sticker verifying someone wanting you to believe the item is authentic must be an authentic because STICKER.

This Just Tells You the Amazon Product Description

After noticing those “Transparency” barcodes on the products I purchased online, I initially assumed that these transparent labels indicated that companies had obtained a certification from an external organization. I expected to learn about the products’ supply chain, environmental impact, labor practices, animal testing, etc.
After downloading the app, I was disappointed to discover it’s an Amazon-only initiative. It only provides Amazon’s product description and country of origin, making it useless. It seems like Amazon is deceiving customers into thinking their purchase is verified to be less harmful.
The app does not work

Downloaded the app twice to my iPhone 16. Each time tried to scan got a yellowish image that could not read the code. Not useful
Works fine

I used the app to read the instructions for setting up my Petlibro cat water fountain. The Transparency app scan. Took me to the product information and instruction manual where I found the information I needed.
If there’s no overseeing agency then what’s the point?

This app is just like reading the listing on Amazon. It adds no new information. If there’s no authority saying this product is what it says it is, then how is this app telling us anything? Pointlessssssss
What A Stupid App

This must’ve been dreamed up by a liberal. Do we really need a transparency clause for a screwdriver?
Why not use a QR code that I can scan with camera app?

Ok, this app is first only good for telling you about your product. Listen, my manual for these LED lights (it said to install this app specifically) said, “you can switch the light on/off and choose the color effect using the control box, remote, or app.” Like, what app? This doesn’t help me at all and this app is just stupid. ( only three stars so people see it).
