Would love to give it less than a star Horrible terrible doesnt work snd dont think they give a crap about anyone's feedback otherwise they would have replied to the bad feedback here. I m uninstalling it!

Susan Harkins

Horrible Cant get it to scan anything. Would be a wonderful way to save recipes, if it worked. Very disappointed

Susan Flug

Wish it worked I have used this in the past and it worked pretty well. Now it is not even playing the videos it will focus but it won't play them.

Cheri Wong

This used to work Don't know what changed but now the Discover part doesn't work which makes the app useless which is really too bad because I enjoyed pinning recipes to use for later.

Theresa Diluvio

Stopped working It used to work, although never reliably. Recently it has stopped working altogether. Too bad cause it was awesome to be able to conveniently store recipes.

Doesn't work great idea, if the app worked. Tried on HEALTH Magazine field trip jerky

Chris Cooper March 20, 2016

Waste of time I spent 30 minutes trying to digit out how to get a Cooking Light recipe. It read the page but never gave options for the recipe.

Denise Lew May 8, 2016

Does not work. It did when I first tried but haven't been able to scan for the last year or so.

Tammy Urban March 12, 2016

No longer works Used to work great, and I loved it. Now it doesn't work at all, period. Sadly.

Doug Bradley May 20, 2016

Doesn't work Downloaded, followed the instructions, doesn't work. Deleted from my phone.

Ebay Free samples app

Karen Bowden December 30, 2015

Great when it works .....which it rarely does. I'll be saving away and then it stops working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. It's a great concept; too bad I can't use it.

Scott Shields February 6, 2016

Waist of time Never works. Under any light. Horrible

Keli Shapiro November 20, 2015

Freezes Impossible to use because it freezes.

Jean Brulinski November 17, 2015

Did not explain what happened when it works

Teri Nelson October 22, 2015

First few worked great Then it stopped discovering! Really to bad. .. felt like a great little app to have!

Digimarc Unfortunately, it does not work! I had to uninstall it!

Not working Focuses on image but does not discover it

Elizabeth Pooler October 18, 2015

Freezes up on occasion.

Ashley Hoffman October 21, 2015

Doesn't work

Willow Allison August 22, 2015

Worked on previous version With the update, I can't get it to work on the Sept issue of Health. Previous version comment: In the June issue of Health I was able to load all pgs except pg 33. Some pgs were instantly discovered except for pg 56 which took a few minutes.

Carl Anglin August 11, 2015

Partly works After 45 min trying to scan any one of five images, it finally "discovered ONE! But it linked to Golf magazine on the internet. The one i really wanted to see wouldn't play at all. Two others played but no motion or sound. Waste of time. Easier to go online and look for videos, and just read the magazine. ASUS 32GB MEMO TABLET, ANDROID 4.2 8/11/15 Tried v 5.3.2. Worked better but requires Chrome to be installed. Sorry, but very little better. Uninstalled again. Won' t try 3rd time.

Digimarc Corp December 19, 2014

Hi Carl- Please try updating to our latest version release, 5.2.6. Video experiences from Digimarc IDs in Golf magazine as well as Vimeo videos will now display properly for all compatible devices. Give it another try and let us know what you think! Thanks!

Mark Knutson September 20, 2015

Doesnt discover anything This app seems unable to discover any of my cooking light recipes

Razor September 21, 2015

Do not download This app is pure garbage..it does NOT work!

Barb Dennis September 12, 2015

Took forever to scan or discover the content. Only worked on 2 out of 12 items attempted

Jeff Weber July 27, 2015

Waste of My Time Despite following the directions and after trying all sorts of lighting conditions and settings, I couldn't get this app to scan one single thing. Very disappointing.

KC McGuire July 20, 2015

Awful You do what it says but it still won't read the image. You have to refresh the thing three times before the camera actual works. most of the time the camera flashes like its taking multiple pictures, but its not. Just a glitch obviously ... I hate this thing so much.

Lorrie Brewer July 23, 2015

Didn't work.

Dee Gonzalez May 20, 2015

Doesn't work anymore Loved, loved this app so when I got my new phone I was devastated when I lost everything I had scanned from Cooking light so installed it the other day on my Samsung s6 and it doesn't work. Been reading the reviews to see I'm not the only one. 5 stars when it worked and I have no idea why its not now but I gave it 1 star because there wasn't a zero. My friend tried on her iPhone and it didn't work for her either. Very disappointing. Amazing app that needs to be fixed, please.

Digimarc Corp May 28, 2015

Hi Dee-Please double check the images you're trying to scan are interactive.Cooking Light and others often use icons to indicate Digimarc ID-enabled images.We want to restore your love for our app!We're only allowed to respond to reviews once.Please email us at helpdesk.mobile@digimarc.com so we can work with you to identify the problem.Thank you!

Won't work in golf magazine Try to use this app for one of the golf lessons and golf magazine on page 50 of the latest one all it kept doing was shutting down this app simply just doesn't work and yes it is an interactive video thank you have a great day

Carol Barker June 3, 2015

Digimarc App -doesn't work This app does not work. I downloaded it to my Android and tried scanning some items in the June 2015 issue of Health Magazine but to no avail. It looked like it was scanning but my hand got tired holding my phone over the photo it took so long and all to get nothing. I was expecting something like Shazam where it only takes a few seconds and the phone vibrates to let you know it picked up a song or not. In this case, there was no indication of an image being picked up or not. I'm sure manufacturers of products who think we consumers are getting "where to purchase" details will be very surprised at this. I've also contacted Health magazine twice now and no reply with information. Very disappointing in this age of technology and instantaneous information. We're all impatient!

Kellie Correia May 17, 2015

I appreciate that you respond to reviews. When reading them I was able to fix the problem I thought I was having. Turns out the page I was scanning was not interactive. Thank you for taking the time in helping.

Digimarc Corp May 28, 2015

Hi Kellie- Thank you for your great review! We're happy to hear our responses are helping other users troubleshoot.

C Wood July 5, 2015

Time waster I tried scanning items with this and nothing happened. What a waste of time. Now I know why the rating was so low!

Jay West May 28, 2015

Why bother? The app just doesn't work. I downloaded the app and first attempt at a scan doesn't work. I tried a few others with the same results. Like I said, just doesn't work. Update for developer comments - instructions on where and how to download the app, as well as what the interactive icons look like, were in cnet magazine. Each icon also had the page number of the instructions next to it. Is that enough information for you? Your app just doesn't work, hence the pitiful rating.

Digimarc Corp May 28, 2015

Hi Jay- We need more details in order to help. Please double check the images you are trying to scan are interactive. Cooking Light and others use an icon to indicate Digimarc ID-enabled images. Our app also scans QR codes and UPC codes. Please email us at helpdesk.mobile@digimarc.com to continue to troubleshoot. Thank you!

Beth Adler-Bush May 9, 2015

Does this do anything? Dutifully held the phone over the page and waited for some response. Then I tried again with just the photo of the food or just the recipe's name. No go. Closer or father away made no difference. Don't bother with this one. I'm going to uninstall it.

Digimarc Corp May 11, 2015

Hi Beth- Please double check and confirm the images you are trying to scan are interactive. Cooking Light and other magazines use icons to indicate Digimarc ID-enabled images. Our app also scans QR codes and UPC codes. Please email us at helpdesk.mobile@digimarc.com to continue to troubleshoot. Thank you!

Joshua Malcolmson June 28, 2015

Never worked... Works for my wife's iPhone but not on Android. Sucks. I am trying to use it in CNET mag and nothing. Wife DL's the app from apple store and w/in a second it worked...

maureen dobler schuette June 14, 2015

Asks for code Where do you get a feedback code? Used to work. . Won't work now

William Hays June 26, 2015

Only works on bar codes I have tried it on multiple occasions to scan issues of CNET where it says scan here and nothing ever happens, the only thing it seems to really want to work on is barcodes and QR codes, which of those it works beautifully, but for the intended purpose of what it seems like this is for it fails horribly.

Kathy Walkup June 20, 2015

Doesn't work! Scanned one item. No others will scan. Disappointed!
