Bottom line
Flippr has a clear technological lead in sourcing speed via its Bulk AI scanning, but it is currently being held back by severe technical debt. If I were the PM, I would halt all new feature development to fix the crashing issues and unskippable onboarding, as these are the only things preventing this app from completely disrupting the legacy barcode-scanning market.
