Transparency - for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn’t deliver what the name suggestsWhen scanning a QR code the app merely displays the product description, return policy etc. The title of the app led me to believe the info would include provenance, emissions, statement modern slavery, disposal/recycling instructions etc… That would be much more useful than repeating what is already printed on the box..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Nothing truly specialDownloaded the app for what I thought were some directions for the utechsmart Venus Pro gaming mouse. Absolutely useless! And a waste of time. There are only features described on this app. Other than that, there is nothing. No programming, no troubleshooting, no tips or tricks on how to get the most out of this item, just descriptions.Version: 2.5
✓ PointlessI downloaded the app out of curiosity, as there was a “Transparency” sticker on the side of a “new” Logitech mouse I purchased from Scamazon. I scanned the sticker with the app, and amazingly the app confirmed what the sticker—and the box—said! Unfortunately, it didn’t change the fact that what I had received was someone’s old, used mouse instead of a new one. So, what is the point of this stupid app? Nothing. It serves only to reassure the easily impressed..Version: 2.5
✓ Serves the product’s creator, not the userYou shouldn’t download and use this. All it does is tell you that your product was made in China or wherever . The problem is it requests to access to your location (just say no) and your location is harvested as data. That’s useful for the people who made the product but not to you..Version: 2.5
✓ Waste of timeJust tells you what the item is. As China can now copy and make knock-offs of anything, they would just copy the code on the original box. This app is a waste of time. I’ve now deleted the app..Version: 2.5
✓ UselessNothing to do after you get it sure you can scan your items but what next.Version: 2.5
✓ What!The picture was of the correct product. The description was totally wrong product🤪🤪🤪.Version: 2.5
✓ Not useful at allWaste of time. All it provides is a photo and dimensions of the product. It would have been halfway helpful if it gave production location details like some of the other reviewers experienced, or even the company/manufacturer name. Reviewers have commented that the value lies in being able to confirm authenticity. Those experiences seem limited as the majority, including myself, seem to have received barely any information. Save your time and go right past this app..Version: 2.5
✓ Don’t get itIt’s not going show any product information beyond product model, name or serial number. Not a trouble shooting guide or any additional..Version: 2.5
✓ Didn’t tell me muchOnly told me what I purchased. Didn’t tell me where it was from or when it was made. I was just curious and delete..Version: 2.4
✓ No save to watch later if neededNeeds a lot of work because I thought I could watch video later but with no luck. Need to save the scan so if it is actually more helpful you should be able to look at it at a later time. I was going to throw the card and box away except for the instructions. Now I have to keep everything to take up more room or space. This app needs a WHOLE LOT OF WORK to make it better..Version: 2.5
✓ UselessShows you a picture and summary of your product. Why does this even exist?.Version: 2.5
✓ Nothing to do with!You will scan a barcode and it will shows your product. I bought a screen protector and I thought that it will give me a learning video how to apply it. But as I said first it only shows the name of the product..Version: 2.2
✓ 3 minutes of my life I’m never gonna get backSo you scan a random QR code on the product and this app displays a picture of the same product?? WOW! Genius!!!! So what’s keeping a counterfeiting entity from printing the same QR code from an authentic package and selling that counterfeit product with a “verify with Transparency app” sticker? FIRE the dimwit that came up with this app!.Version: 2.5
✓ Does not verify authenticitySo what’s to prevent someone from copying the copier and slapping it on their product? I got a box of fake masks. They started on the box not ASTM level 2 and had a misspelled website printed on the box. But when I scanned the sticker with the app - it assured me the product was a genuine item with ASTM level 2 protection despite the item itself contradicting that. 🤦♀️.Version: 2.5
✓ Another App?While the product is authentic. I’m failing to see the benefit given the hassle for the execution. I think there’s a better more intuitive way of going about this. More importantly it’s that ANOTHER app has to be downloaded to use it. I was under the impression that all I’d have to do was scan and then boom there it would be but having to have another app on my phone is a hard pass for me..Version: 2.5
✓ My iPhone 15 couldn’t focus on the tiny QRYes, luckily I went to the reviews to see that the my 5 minutes of trying to scan was going to be worthless info I assumed it was to open the video app for pairing.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Completely worthlessI downloaded the app and scanned the barcode. The barcode was on a standard printable label you can buy from virtually any office supply store. All the app did is show me the product I ordered. As far as I can tell, nothing would stop someone from ordering one legitimate product, making a high-quality scan of the label/barcode, printing 100 copies, and putting them on fake/counterfeit merchandise. Supply chain fraud/integrity is a huge problem globally, but this app doesn’t appear to do anything about it. Save your time and your phone’s storage space..Version: 2.5
✓ Pathetic non verification of authenticityBasically scans a qr code and reads from the database what it is. It offers nothing more than the product label. It does verify authenticity. It is a sill little sticker that could be easily scanned, printed and stuck on a fake. I wrote and asked how it verifies anything and what came back was pure flimflam. Don’t bother with it. It adds nothing..Version: 2.5
✓ Doesn't tell info that it's supposed to!Purchased Frontline Plus and I get same info from box. The app does NOT tell the product dates. It only tells what the item is, manufactured in France and a big list of letters. I want to know when made and when expires!.Version: 2.2
✓ Great idea but easy to manipulateI bought a product from amazon which had the transparency logo. I used the app to verify the product. The product box clearly stated the specifications which showed the product was an older model. But when i checked it with the transparency app, it showed the product to be the new model (which was not sent to me). The seller/manufacturer clearly put the sticker for new model on the box of old model. Extremely disappointed with this find..Version: 2.5
✓ Don’t downloadIt is not worth your time downloading because it only tell you the name of the product which I know it doesn’t even tell you how to connect it to your phone.Version: 2.2
✓ Why?What is the point of this app. All it does is show you what the label shows!.Version: 2.5
✓ Useful?I only learned the exact title of the product and where it was produced. It seems there’s more to gain from the barcode number than this app..Version: 2.5
✓ Useless, purposeless 👎🏼It only gave me the product's name, which of course I already knew....Version: 2.2
✓ DrJimmy is rightApparently the only thing the app does is detects what the product is that the app scans, and provides specifics. There really isn’t any significant reason for downloading this. Transparency doesn’t need to exist. Kind of like MySpace..Version: 2.4
✓ Meaningless and stupid app , waste timeUseless app.Version: 2.5
✓ RubbishThis app is rubbish it doesn’t even let me scan the qr code.Version: 2.5
✓ UselessWas hoping to get manuals or a URL about the device, but it’s just a picture. Waste of time.Version: 2.5
✓ Doesn’t support iPhone X/11/ProThe app does not support iPhones newer than the iPhone 7, resorting to a letterboxed compatibility mode. In the current year? smh Yet it harvests your location data for no reason. Ultimately, what’s the point of knowing that your latest intimate prosthetic was lovingly injection-molded in Shenzhen three months ago?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Not NecessaryI thought the app would have preset formatting or setting instructions for margins, etc but it literally just tells you what product you purchased. Kind of pointless imo..Version: 3.0.1
✓ UselessThis is supposed to provide additional info on the product but tells you nothing other than its name -why should I care?.Version: 2.4
✓ Absolutely Pointless AppBought an anti-bark vibration collar for our dog. Instructions given was to download this app and of course, charge the collar. The only thing this app does is show you the item ordered and a short video showing you had to set the collar. It would be nice if you could change the settings within the app as well, but, unfortunately it doesn’t. I just removed the app!.Version: 3.0.0
✓ No purposeHas no purpose whatsoever, saw a sticker on the box of my monster clarity 102 plus airlinks, my wireless headphones, so I download the app and scanned it, and all it did was tell me what I bought? Idk why it’s a thing, maybe just to get people to download the app for money which is very smart I will admit, anyway if you see this on a box or smth u bought, don’t download it, there’s no rewards or anything important about it.Version: 2.5
✓ UselessThanks for reminding me the product that I bought (which is already in front of me)… I guess?.Version: 2.5
✓ What is this???!The product is good, but the app, the app... well, it’s trash. It just scans the box and there is just a blank screen? How did it work for other people? This is ridiculous and I do not recommend it..Version: 2.3
✓ Could be more usefulApp is working OK and confirmed authenticity of the product I scanned, but according to Transparency site and app description it could provide manufacturing date which it did not do in my case. Would be nice to have it..Version: 2.5
✓ No point to itDoes nothing except name products that you already know what it is!.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Please explain...To me the point of this app? Because it never told me the Authenticity, origins, production date, and more! -the statement it claims to make. It just told me what I read off the box; the name of the product :) greeeaat. I got more info off the product box. I’m sorry but explain to me the use of this app....Version: 2.2
✓ It’s only to track who bought itIt’s simple, this app only serves amazon to know who bought what (or has been given what)..Version: 3.0.3
✓ EfficiencyUseless app just blocking sales..Version: 2.4
✓ PointlessHas no use.Version: 2.2
✓ Completely pointlessAll it does is show you a picture of the product and it’s name does not provide any further information.Version: 3.0.0
✓ It tells you where your stuff was madeIf you ever wanted to know where the thing you bought was produced... instead of reading the side of the box you can scan a sticker. Kinda dumb but it works as advertised so can’t rate poorly..Version: 2.2
✓ Absolute crapFake product came with sticker. Scanned it. Said it was made in Texas. 🤣 Clearly made in China with a fake WR sticker..Version: 2.5
✓ PointlessWhat is the point of this app?! Apparently you have to download it to install your Alexa compatible devices but it literally does NOTHING other than give you the name of the product. Use the PlusMinus app instead..Version: 2.5
✓ I had hoped to find……warranty information for the Grillman cover I just bought, which has a lifetime guarantee, but no information on how to request replacement. The app told me I bought a Grillman cover..Version: 2.5
✓ Hardly any pointDownloaded to see if there were more instructions than provided with product but basically just the product page. Dont see how it would help prove authenticity as we code could just be cloned anyway.Version: 3.0.3
✓ UselessThis app is a waste of time and memory space on my phone. It doesn’t give me any more information about the product than what I read before I bought the product..Version: 2.5
✓ Scans a removable stickerSome reviewers felt the need to insult the intelligence of anyone who doesn’t get the usefulness of this app. Well what does it do? It scans a sticker which must be scanned only by this app! Let that sink in! In what universe does this authenticate anything? It doesn’t appear to even authenticate the sticker! Where is the control in this experiment?.Version: 2.5
✓ Rosetta LightNot at all helpful on how to use the product or hot to use the remote, useless video is all I got out of this app..Version: 3.0.1
✓ PointlessDon’t download this app. You do not get any instructions, warranty information, etc. It will show you an image of what you bought and tell you the product name. There is no service offered, at all..Version: 2.5
✓ What’s the value of that?No value that I can think of.Version: 2.5
✓ Deception! Don’t download!This is a useless app! I hope this saves someone else from downloading and wasting their time like I did. It took so long to finally scanned and bring up the name of the product for me. Like why show me t the name of the product I have right in front of me? It says to download to watch the manual, no manual was displayed..Version: 3.0.3
✓ UselessInstall app. Launched it and nothing. Useless..Version: 2.4
✓ No senseEmpty app!.Version: 2.5
✓ QR code dechiperIt just shows you the product picture and name. No further details are being generated. A perfect example depicting the misalignment of mission statement and market product.Version: 2.5
✓ No History⁉️The app should save a history of every item you’ve scanned‼️.Version: 2.2
✓ Maybe helpful in the future..?Unsure really of the need for this app with my keyboard purchase… but thanks?.Version: 2.5
✓ App has no apparent use. This is a no star appDownloaded the app to verify what is it’s purpose. This app has NO apparent purpose it does nothing and only tells you what the item purchased is. There is absolutely no purpose to install this app other than curiosity at what it does. Save the frustration because it does nothing at all. Total time waste to myself. Yuk.Version: 2.5
✓ Useless!I scanned the product and a picture of it came up? Ok, now what? Any more info? Warranty info? Instructions? Contact info? Nothing!!! What’s the point? Now all I’m afraid of is that your app is stealing my internal phone info?!?! How much did you all spend on this app to start it up? I hope you got a discount! What a scam! Glad it was free…or was it?.Version: 2.5
