    OK gang I’ve used it for about two months. Paid the fee to get a monthly usage – – the consistent pop ups reminding me for $.99 a month I can no longer have pop-ups – – the somewhat clunky ability to save your photos – – purchase the overhead arm, hanging photo, shoot device for 1499 on sale – – waste of money– – probably had 200 photos to do. I’ve now given up after about 20 to 25 and taking it to a professional studio to have done – – been a newspaper photographer for 40 years. biggest problem continue to get random shadows no matter how I take photos. I’ve got four $3000 light tables soft back lighting all the drills and my phone 13 pro just won’t pull it off so just a heads up I guess it was worth 25 bucks. I’ll bill my client such as life.

  • Low quality

    Quality is really low compared to what the ads show you. Followed instructions exactly. Held the film 2-5CM away. was just so blurry

  • Havin A Blast with the past

    For the longest time, I’ve been searching for a place that develops film and negatives. I come from a family of “photo sleuths”, and I literally have thousands of old negatives. I was one of those people who take the negative up to the light, magnifying glass and squint like mad trying in vein to identify who’s who, and where when, …. For years I’ve wondered exactly what treasures of yesteryear lay dormant in my attic. Then one day, I found this wonderful magic app. I have to stop writing this now, and scan more negatives.

    Thank you so much for this amazing review! Enjoy your scanning journey :)
  • Great App!

    I have scanned literally thousands of photos with this app! The latest version has some welcome changes. Thank you for not automatically cropping so much of the border. Much better! The time required for processing between scans is also much better in this version.

    I wish you had kept the “Add” button at the bottom of the screen. The new “Scan” button that can only be accessed if you scroll all the way to the top of the photo library is inconvenient.

    Overall a great app!

  • Backlight reflects phone into pic/negative

    No matter the lighting I use, the backlight reflects the phone camera into the negative. I’ve used multiple different angles, and moved negative away from backlight, doing everything as recommended with lighting and can’t get it completely gone. If I move negative or camera so that you don’t see it, the quality deteriorates tremendously. I just updated the app after scanning negatives and now it keeps telling me I forgot a backlight and I am using the same backlight from your website I was before the updates. Very frustrated with this. Don’t waste your money like I did.

  • Need more control

    I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, this app does not allow me to choose which lens I am using. It appears the app is using the ultra wide lens. I have a moment micro lens which I can only attach to the wide or telephoto lens and I can’t use it because the app doesn’t give me control over lens. Also the sharping tool over sharpens to the point where the image/person looks cartoonish. Lastly the app seems to auto crop my images even though I have turned off the auto crop feature, I have to go in and un-crop the image. If the developers correct these features, I’m willing to give it five star review.

  • Yeah, nah

    One of the worst user interfaces I have seen to scan a negative you have to click the button to add photos. Then you have to click through four screens EVERYTIME you want to scan a slide. It’s ok if you just leave it in scan mode to quickly determine what the content of a negative is before you scan it on a proper scanner
