Amazing application. Serves the purpose and very useful. Developer's and publisher's both are doing great job. Keep growing!

Used it to read a cancelled card. Delivers a surprising amount of information. Glad I made the purchase, although I'm wary about where this data could end up being sent to. The author asserts he doesn't collect information, my worries are that others might be able to.
