Best Photo Scan App Ever

Awesome, gets rid of the reflection from outside lights and sun.

Absolutely perfect for what I was doing.

Putting together a movie for funeral, and needed to add old photos. A lot of them. I looked online for best ways to photograph old pictures. I downloaded this app and it is absolutely perfect for what I am doing. It removes the shadows, the glare, crops the image and in some cases improves the quality of the image. Love this!

Terrific free scanning app

For scanning photo, documents etc. it does a good job of remiving glare from glass ot lighting and some imperfections by stitching 4 photos that you take. Free, no ads, no upgrade$. Highly recommended.

Moving photos from app to another device

There is no way to get the photos from the app to your phone or computer

Great!

I LOVE that it gets rid of glare and phone shadows. Just wish it saved (or gave you a choice) to save as jpeg

Great app to scan photos!

For years I have had to warm up my huge scanner when I wanted to scan photos but not anymore! This app is amazing and easily scans all your photos to your phone or tablet. Even with shaky hand!

Always glare and low resolution

I don’t know how everyone likes this app so much. Every time I use it with my iPhone 11 Pro Max I follow the prompts going to each corner the it generates a photo with big blotches of glare that’s low resolution. I’ve tried this on about a dozen photos. I guess I just have to resort to taking a regular photo with my iPhone then photoshopping it.

Why can’t I just add it to my photos?

Why is there not a button that just adds it to your photos? Why? You have to go to “copy” but it only works the first time. It makes absolutely no sense and make the app garbage.
