You still get ads even after you pay and inconvenient photo management

The good? It does a very good job of processing photos from negatives and coming up with their colors.

The bad? Ads. Even after you pay for the program and the subscription, they still put ads when you open the app. Every. Single. Time.
Once my subscription is completed, I will DEFINITELY not renew. How disgusting!

Further, the photo management is cumbersome. If you select a large number of photos, the share function doesn’t let you save them locally, they again push their Photomyne app. You have to view a photo THEN select multiple photos to save to your local photo album. I’d expect this kind of clumsiness from a free app but not for one that requires an annual subscription.

Good scanner but rubbish app

The actual captures are good but there is zero control over which lens, what resolution and auto cropping this makes it very frustrating and it’ll randomly skew images and there is no way to resolve.
The export function kinda sucks too with no export options, no meta data management and the app caching means sometimes after scanning sometimes they don’t appear. Plus they are now aggressively pushing the ai editor which makes the photos look like garbage and if you don’t use it you have to dismiss a pop up every 5 mins which is annoying
