Reviews
Too much work
BethieB00
I hate this app. It’s way more difficult than just using the iPhone camera and editing tools. You have to finish up the editing with iPhone anyway, so you should just start with it. At least I didn’t have to pay for the app.
Could be great

Love the idea of this. I was a scanning machine last week with a bunch of old family photos, but then yesterday I was looking through all the scanned photos and it’s “auto-crop” is off on the majority of them. I even laid the photos on a white or black (depending on the color of the photos edges) poster board so that the app could find the edges of the photos easier. And the glare-free feature is nice, but it doesn’t do anything about shadows... Most of the photos I scanned last week.... Have the shadow of my phone and hand in it. Super bummed.
Horrible glass glare all over the place

This is terrible !!! It does not get rid of glare from glass in photo frame at all!!! Did it many times, no flash, but window glare is all over it. Worst experience I have ever had with an app.
Incredible!!

Can’t believe how easy and effective this app is. Saves hours of frustration. Can easily scan all my old family pictures!
Slow, can’t find edges
J. Olson
The app itself is very slow. It takes a minute or so per picture and sometimes the little dots to follow go entirely away from the photo which doesn’t make sense. I wasn’t checking after each upload but after going back through the pile of photos I scanned, I discovered that many edges were missed entirely. Some 4x6 photos ended up square or looking like panoramic pictures with parts of the photos missing. Don’t recommend.
