Transparency

Check participating products

Transparency is a Tools app from Amazon Mobile LLC for people who want to check whether an enrolled product is authentic. You scan the product through the app; the check is useful only for products that take part in the program. It is not a general-purpose product scanner, and the app’s purpose is narrower than browsing or shopping.

Extra details, when available

Some participating products can show more than an authenticity check. Depending on the product, the app may also provide videos, promotions, or details about where or when it was made. Those extras are not promised for every product, so the experience can vary from one scan to another.

A tool for specific moments

This is most useful when you have a participating product in front of you and want to check its status or see the information attached to it. If the products you buy do not participate, there may be little reason to open Transparency. It is the kind of app that can stay out of sight until a particular purchase gives you a reason to use it.

What the listing suggests

Transparency has a 1.74 rating from 2,048 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs. That reach suggests many people have tried it, while the rating is a clear reason to keep expectations measured. Its usefulness depends in large part on whether the products you encounter are enrolled and what details are available for them.
