Iowa Lottery's LotteryPlus 17+

It has two stars because I can get it to work. The problem is that it doesn’t work anymore with the newer phones. It makes me put the ticket to close to my camera so it’s out of focus my old phone still works so I just use the app there. Please update your app so I can check tickets from a spot my camera can focus

App worked fine for a week or so, but now I can’t even check tickets, which is the whole reason I purchased this app, which seems to be a very common complaint with this application. Don’t know why it works for the first week or so and then stops, almost seems like it is programmed this way to harvest data to sell analytics companies, works just long enough for you to download, use for a while, and then forget about, so it can now get info on your habits to sell to advertisers to try and place ads to make you more likely to purchase products and services. Delete apps you no longer use, they can still harvest information about you to target ads to you, even if you op out of sharing info. Apple tries to make it look like youre completely in control of you data, but these apps have a way of fingerprinting your device and can still figure out who you are and still have ways of targeting you with ads and apple is doing nothing to stop them.

I would like to see these features added to the app:

1. I think this feature will be very beneficial to all users who purchased tickets with multiple drawing dates. Add something where you can scan the ticket in, and it remembers that ticket. If you win, it sends you a push notification.

2. An option to purchase tickets digitally in the app. I understand this one might be a little bit harder to implement due to legal concerns, the main one being underage people buying tickets. However, this could be overcome by implementing ID verification. For example, users could scan their ID card and take a picture of their face.

These are the features I would like to see added. I have worked in app development for years, so I know adding these is possible. However, if the development team reads this, I would like to hear their reasoning as to why these features would not be added.
