Reviews

Worthless

This app made my pictures look worst than doing it on my own in my regular camera app. And did not remove any glare

Perfect, even better

This even IMPROVED all my older photographs! I’d pay for this app!

Needs level adjustments

Great method for avoiding scan, but needs some level adjustments. Generally over-exposes highlights and won’t let me adjust that.

Very good for scanning old prints

Love this app. Really makes getting those old photos in my google photo collection easy.

Love Love Love This App!!!!!

I was spending hours scanning photos on my Cannon Flat Bed. I can scan a photo in 3 seconds with this app! And I love that the pictures are immediately saved in both my Google Photos and IPhone Photos without being asked! Thank you for saving that step!!! A couple things to know. Click the lightning bolt on bottom of screen to turn off your flash and cancel out glare. It saves the extra seconds it takes to readjust the photo. Also don't let Google modify your picture when it pops up. It was cropping off heads and the focus of the picture when I went to look at them in my Google Photos. Thanks for making this great app!!!!!

Absolutely horrible.

I just tried to scan some photos and compared them to scans I did 20 years ago on a cheap flatbed scanner and the Google photo scan images are absolutely horrible! I can’t believe the positive reviews this app has because these are by far the worst photo scans I’ve ever seen.
