[NABS-L] Supersense: The New and Improved OCR scanning app

[Shane Lowe]

Hey Justin,
Yes, the app is on both the app and Play stores. The link at the
bottom of my initial email will also take you to the app. We use those
links to help keep track of how many downloads we get from each
advertising campaign. For example, in this case, if you use the link I
sent earlier we would see a new download from the NABS app testing
project.
