This app is at best a beta product. While a simple & useful concept, the interface is obscure and functionality less than expected. It crashes often and the software implementation is crude to say the least.
Unfortunately I really don’t know how this got through Apple’s review process.
Not very good
Struggles with accurately identifying text.
Essential app
Wouldn't be without this handy app. Does what it says on the tin: scans photos for text & accurately converts to text with a most effective OCR feature.
Useless
Waste of money. Results are gibberish.
Not Working Anymore
It was work perfectly while I am reading to scan and keep it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work now. Why?
Junk - waste of money
Zero Stars - complete junk. Do not waste your money on this.
Abuses push notifications, terrible performance
Has some of the worst scrolling performance I've ever seen. I have 11 saved items and scrolling is ridiculously choppy. OCR works well but the app is horrible.
Also sends you push notifications to buy the developers other apps, falsely advertised as gifts
Rubbish!
Just purchased this app for use on iPad mini ..looked through the opening information pages and then took photo of sample text.
Result - the whole thing just locked up and would not work! ... What gives?.
Great app that requires improvement
This app has a brilliant concept behind it and it has and could be very useful. I app is great as I say but it needs improvement and optimisations in every aspect of the application whether it be the long load times, not being able to rotate photos in app, occasionally sluggish, not being able to load or queue multiple photos, and a user interface where a few improvements would be very beneficial. This app has great potential if changes like these are made.
