Comments on Clipper Card Reader for Android

★★★★☆ Gordon Mohr · Apr 1, 2025

Takes many tries to read a card - about 5/6 reads (that phone vibrates to acknowledge) do nothing, no error message or info. But after many tries, eventually read my 2 cards. Beware, no need to click 'proceed' or anything else shown at bottom: that's just a misleading ad.

★★★★★ Rohan Vij · Oct 13, 2024

Amazing app - it just works, no frills, no ads, amazing UI. Every app developer should strive to make their app as simple and usable as this.

★☆☆☆☆ David Angle · Dec 28, 2023

Doesn't work at all. Would give 0 stars

★☆☆☆☆ Mario M · Mar 25, 2026

Doesn't work anymore, since I updated my clipper card to 2nd generation.
