App works fine for the three products I tested it on. I'm just not sure what it's being "Transparent" with. The products all had vastly different details included but I'm not sure why the brief description of the product will be useful. Maybe if their was a link to a manual, troubleshooting details or maybe the factory/company who make this super generic random alphabet brand products.

I got it to work once. I had to have the camera app open, center the qr code, have it in focus, then quickly open the transparency app. There's only a split second at start up when it's scanning, the rest of the time the ui is greying out the scanning part and giving you language options and a page with learn more about the app. From that page you can also switch back to scanning by camera icon, for a split second. That said the info shown after scanning was just what Amazon listed already.

Others complain that the app only tells what is in the box. But that is the point: to detect counterfeits. My complaint is that it does not optimize camera settings to clarify the image. The app may work well without such optimization on phones, but not necessarily on tablets. On my Samsung A6 it does nothing with the blurry image it gets up close. QR Reader, on the other hand, does optimize to a clear image, and works fine (just not with Transparency codes).
