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!

It crashes once and another... we must use this foe an university work and thanks to the bugs its getting eternity to test it... if wasn't important homework I would have given up already. Glad I didnt't pay after all.....

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.

I guess it's just complicated, you have to be in light, have to hold it steady and the slightest movement means you can't see it until you position it just right. Too fiddly. Idea is great but just needs better execution. Sorry.

A70%
by A####:

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

App won't scan. Thought it was my phone, so I tried it on a different phone, but it still wouldn't scan. Read the reviews. Same issues.

Neat idea but.... tried scanning multiple pages many times either doesn't pick the image as a layar image even though the code is there or no additional content shows up....

nice idea, but does not work. I got the magazine, and nothing, - it scanned, but said "found nothing" even after multiple times. The magazine says that the fingerprints of refugees throughout the magazine can be scanned using this app, but not one yielded anything. All said "nothing found". So if it works for some and not others, there is something wrong with the app.

Didn't work at all. Maybe because of my device a Samsung Galaxy S4 active. Sounds like a great idea but not great unless it works.

M70%

Does nothing at all. Tried on several books with zero sucess

D70%

Liar is a more appropriate title. Bought an interactive book called Book of Knowledge but the interactive part relies in this app which is completely useless.

Bought a dinosaur encyclopedia for my niece. Not even a single dinosaur come to life. You should burn down the whole agency n be ashame of yourselves! Blardy hell u've just made 1 girl really disappointed!

There is virtually nothing worth scanning. Nothing has the Layar logo. And normal scanners already handle the QR codes. Useless

D70%
by D####:

Awful, could not scan pages that had the logo clearly stating 'scan me'. Not worth the time downloading and attempting
