  • Excellent

    I do a lot of small product photography this app is great just pop the item on any background and it removes the surrounding image leaving a clean image, occasional freeze up and now and then I do need to move position as not all the image is there but those are minor issues. I have not tried the text option yet. Update:- Still a good app but buggy, often I’ll press scan object and the icon in the centre just keeps spinning constantly or freezes i have to close the app then re-start this happens often. I have reported the bug but no response from developer. Update - The scan thing is buggy it will often just whirr around do nothing the app is ok when working but I spend more time closing it reopening it, sadly support do not respond I’m downgrading review to don’t buy it. 3 years and no updates to fix the issues no response to emails the developer isn’t bothered. Don’t bother getting this app.

  • 5 stars until 3 days ago

    This app has literally been the photographer behind my Ecom business for years until it started crashing on open about three days ago. It wasn’t until I went to the App Store to check to see if I just needed to update the app that I realized this hasn’t been updated in 3 years… yet it’s owned by Weebly so I can’t imagine this is actual abandonware?

    It’s been worth every penny and would happily pay for another in-app purchase just to have someone fix whatever’s causing the crash - is anyone out there? Really wish I could tag or @ weebly atm but alas hoping someone reads this

  • Best scanner so far

    Scanner apps were amongst my first purchases on buying iPads when they were first released. The apps - even now - range from adequate to embarrassing. If you want ultimate control of scans - and the increase in time required for even the simplest scan - then look elsewhere.

    However, I have never owned an app that scans more accurately and the speed, particularly for multi-page documents, is second to none. I use Scan Thing because it is reliable and efficient. It’s automatic processing beats what I manage in other, more complex, scanning apps 99% of the time and the finished PDF requires no separate compression, this is also handled automatically.

    If you need to adapt for severe page distortion, then you may need a second app, otherwise Scan Thing just quietly gets on with producing top rate scans quickly and effectively. Having tried well over 20 apps over the years, this is my favourite scanner app.
