You don't have to update.

FYI, if you have been a PB user and already paid the previous $15 one-time fee, you can set your App Store settings so that your apps do not automatically update. That way, you don't have to update this PB app and can continue using it without paying the new monthly subscription fee. On the other hand, the new subscription fee still provides a great value if you are an active Amazon seller as the expense is paid for quickly.
New update breaks things

Suddenly cant use camera to scan and manual searches do not work. Only brings up my last search before the update.

I feel ripped off

I bought this ap a few months ago. It doesn't work. The Amazon prices are NEVER correct. Ever. Now they want a monthly subscription. What a sick joke by some extremely greedy people. Shame on you.
I paid for this app now they are requiring a subscription.

I paid $14.99 then another $50 for Bluetooth scanner plug in . Now they want $10 a month ? What's up with that ?
Great when working

Did not get the latest update (monthly payment required) to avoid monthly fees as company stated. However, now app crashes just as soon as it opens. Can't help but wonder if I must upgrade to avoid the crashing. Will update review when (if) bugs are fixed.
