It finally works Installed on a 4.4.2 device. Also installed OpenCV. Didn't manage to make it work at recognizing regions and blobs (bad lighting conditions might be the culprit though). It is however much more polished and bug free from the last time. (Updated review to report the latest version status)

It does work I just tested it, you just have to enclose all the dots and marks in separate sections. It's not the developer's fault that you are too stupid to use the app even with instructions.

Really good Never used any versions till late April 2014, i.e. only use the majorly updated version. Works really well on my Nexus 5, quick to scan and easy to use. Very impressive system.

Works well on Nexus 4 4.4 I haven't had any problems with it, and I think it is a great proof of concept. It may not be up to the current design standards, and it could do with a bit of optimization, but this has great potential. Nice work so far!

Crashes on HTC One (not x) The app crashes as soon as I launch it.

Doesn't work on Galaxy S4 The app said I needed to install OpenCV. I did that and now the app won't start. It just closes itself when I try to open it.

Does not worth. The app is not recognizing most of the codes on their site itself. Forget about the hand drawn ones. The concept itself is too limited that I feel it need to be changed from the base itself.

Doesn't work on Nexus 5 The app just freezes after the splash screen and then eventually crashes.
