Installed and it just crashed

As soon as I pick a film type the app it crashes

Waiting for iPhone Max Update!

This app does its job of scanning film - color and BW negatives, as well as color positives. The quality isn’t the best. For example, if you have fine grain film, it will not look like beautiful fine grain, but that’s being picky. For the price of the scanner, it’s a really nifty thing to have and has been of much use to me in scanning BW film negatives.

Most importantly I write this review to point out that if you have an iPhone Pro Max, you’d have to hold your phone well above the box to actually get a clear picture. That’s not great because it’s bound to compromise the clarity of your photos even more. So i’m hoping that this app will soon be updated to work with the Max iPhone series! Please, developers.

Doesn’t work with iPhone 11 Pro Max?

I just got this scanner but it doesn’t seem to work with my phone. I have the three lenses, and while I can scan the slides, the photo comes out blurry and washed out. On a regular iPhone 11, the picture is bright and crisp. It would be nice if there was a fix so I could use it with the iPhone 11 Max.

It’s almost there...

Perfect for efficiently “Scanning” film with the aid of a loupe. I have one request that would make this a 5 star app.

- allow native exposure control in the app
- support for zoom lens on iPhone 11

- allow import of photos from the device -This one might be tough. The use case is I want to shoot a negative using the native camera, then bring into Kodak app and allow it to process the negative into a positive image.

Broken update

Normally, this app is great and has been helpful for me with scanning all the family negatives and slides that I inherited from my grandmother, however not being able to edit the photos in-app since the recent update has been frustrating. I’m able to do this on my phone after saving each scan however if half of the app no longer works it slows down the process quite a bit. Hoping this is fixed soon.

Update causing error on IOS

Before the update this app worked very well. Now however the app locks up every time I attempt to edit a slide. I have an iPhone 12 running iOS 13.4.1

Brilliant for a smartphone

I bought a Lomograpy smartphone film scanner and the Lomography app kept crashing and failing. I downloaded this app and it works like a dream and renders colours really well, even on some expired film negatives I have. You can tap on different areas to get the right exposure and it also changes the white balance automatically. Fantastic app.

Great for film photography class

I started the Fall ‘19 semester needing a film scanner my photography 107 class: Introduction to Black and White Film photography. This app has not crashed on me yet. This app is free and easy to use. I get to preview the negatives and pre-determine what photos I want to submit for a project. I’m all about efficiency and getting the most out of each roll of film. I give this app a five star simply because it’s helping get through my class and picking out the best photos. Oh and the app has never crashed on me yet.

Crashes

If I could give this zero stars I would. I purchased the Kodak mobile film scanner and this app is needed to scan the negatives... but the app constantly crashes and won’t even get further than asking my permission to access my camera. PLEASE FIX THIS NOW.
