Tap the camera symbol
Capture a picture of the packaging including the number

  2. Resolution to weak / number is blurry / number is to small
  3. Too much numbers on one image. Focus on one number only.
  4. Fileformat is unknown. Accepted fileformats: jpg/png
  5. Set is unknown / not yet in database: rare problem but my occur
