Leave a Review Photo Scan App by Photomyne
Absolutely Incredible.
I downloaded this app the day after my grandfather died, only 6 weeks after the passing of my grandmother. I had one objective: to preserve every picture I found in the home they shared for 73 years so that we would have them. Over and over, we were blown away as pictures were restored ti a clarity that made faces newly recognizable that had been lost to time.
The best moment was when I scanned their wedding photo, taken in 1947. We saw the youth in every detail, and then I chose colorize the photo, which instantly brought tears to everyone’s eyes, including mine. I’m sure I’m emotional right now, but I can’t remember any app ever doing more for me than this one did.Show lessFaithe's Daddy
Easy peasy
I never ever rate an App because, at least in my opinion once I download the App, it did not do what they claimed it could, but this one is different.
App does exactly what it claims it can do; it’s pretty easy to use and directions are in layman terms.
The first time you play around with this App, it will create an album (which you could always re-name and date). Love that you can line up a bunch of pictures and after it scans, it crops, clears and separates each as a new photo.
Also while playing around with App, I found it can work as a camera too and does the same functions as it would with scanned pictures.
The ONLY THING TO REMEMBER while you are playing around and testing this App, make sure you tap on the album you want pix to go into FIRST before scanning new pictures, otherwise you’ll have a bunch of new albums for each pix you take/scan & I have not found how to move pix from one album into another but I’m sure I will figure it out eventually.
That’s it, very easy and App delivers as promised. If down the line, something changes in a negative way, I will change my recommendation, but for now it’s all good!!Show lessaaopv
Why am I just finding this app?!
OMG! I just found out about this app and so far, it’s a game changer!! I started the process of taking all the photos out of my ugly outdated wedding album in order to make a wedding scrapbook for our 25th anniversary and heard about Photomyne so I thought it was a good time to try it! People…. When I tell you it’s so easy, even a monkey could do it, I’m not lying! You simply hold your phone over the picture, or pictures, , hold a button for 3 seconds and the app does the rest! What could be easier! Now I am writing this with ing minutes of trying it so I’ll have to explore the app further to see about storage of photos and how easy it is to access them but for now, it gets a huge thumbs up!!Show lessMomma cheez
LOVE to capture the handwritten note on the back of photos
I love my mother’s handwriting, and it makes me so happy to be able to capture the backs of photos and attach them to my scanned photos. My mom labeled our images and this is the only way I’ve seen to scan the back of the pics and not let go of those handwritten messages. Also, I have had the hardest time trying to figure out what to do with all of my printed pictures. This app makes it so quick to scan, organize and tag photos, and they look good no matter if they are in a frame or in a book, old or new.Show lessMelCSham
Works best of any archival photo program
I am very impressed. I have a HUGE number of family photos to scan. It has been a very slow process using a flat bed scanner and I have not been able to add any notes. Using Photomyne, I can scan multiple photos at once, add comments and it all saves to the cloud. I can download photos from the album there into my phone so I can move them to an iCloud album. I will eventually download them to my PC so I can burn them to multiple DVDs for family members. I have a tripod that will hold the phone so I can capture the photos at the correct angle. Photomyne is the ideal software for not only scanning a lot of photos, but just the occasional scan. Like you might be working on family tree stuff. It doesn’t have to be a photo, just anything scannable.

Still the best. Have not had any glitches. Using iPhone 6S+Show lessdseale55
Developer Response
Thank you for this great feedback!Great quality, so easy to use
I needed something in a hurry for my wife to scan in a hundred borrowed photos of our daughter’s first 30 years. There was an easy learning curve of a few minutes and was up and running to scan (photo through the app) in the photos (and digitize them) in a couple hours. I compared this to their free competitor, and this was much easier to use and better quality for me - well worth the money! It works so well even though I am on a free trial with them I’ll gladly give them the money! I ran the app on my iPhone SE which I paid about $400 for from T-Mobile. It worked absolutely fantastic!Show lesspdglynn

I’ve really enjoyed using this app. My Mom passed away last August and have been going through her photos. Thousands of photos!! I’m saving them here a little a time and sharing them with family - many of whom have never seen the pictures. In fact my cousin had never seen her since divorced parents in a friendly photo before and when I shared it from this app to Facebook she messaged me that she cried when she saw it! I’m also finding family pictures from the Colorado River days and a mutual friend looking at the pictures I posted said he’s so happy to relive those days that brought so much joy in his younger years. So thank you for this wonderful way so save and share photos from the “old days!”Show lessPowell lover
At last, I LOVE it.
During the first year of having this app I never took the time to understand how to use it. I think I even tried for a refund. Same with the magnificent SlideScan app. But then my wife’s son died of cancer and she asked me to create a photographic memorial comprised with about 45 photographs that needed to be digitally scanned. I design publications and use indesign and photoshop, but each photo could take more time than I had, and would require some manual processing. So, I’d had awesome results with SlideScan and figured maybe Photomyne could save the day. It has. My next step is to make a slide show to post on his Facebook page. Thank you Photomyne!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Show lessHerbNeu
Extremely useful!
We are downsizing to an RV so storage space is at a premium! Scanned almost 4,000 photos I’d been hauling around for decades. It was especially helpful to put them in categories as I went. Now I can actually find a photo I’m looking for. Being able to scan the back was so awesome as some had writing from my ancestors. They transferred easily to my laptop and stayed in their categories. The only thing it didn’t do on the transfer was keep the name of the album, instead it numbered them. Had to open each album to see what it was then rename it. Overall, very happy to have found this app!!Show less2popoki
Trial way too short & inferior
The trial period barely allowed me time to take some photos and get them printed to compare. I was very disappointed in the paid version in that some photos with descriptions partially printed with the frame, some correctly printed and some did not print at all. Also the glares & reflections were corrected in a few but not most of them. I printed about 60 pictures from this app and a different free app. The free app (a different app) had no glares or reflections in any of their pics and was a little more difficult to shoot, also didn’t have descriptions so I chose Photomyne. I cancelled the Photomyne after I got the pics printed. It’s possible I made some mistakes but I didnt have time to figure that out before the trial period was over so I canceled.
