Very good pics

Enjoy using this

Add extra features

Need to add upload from photo to make it worth while

Bad app

Makes me pay a subscription (not even a one time fee) to use my own camera to scan photos. Only upside is that it’s really good at scanning them.

What a joke

The app has constant pop up’s asking you to buy to the point where it’s unusable they want 40$ a year just to invert colors

Improved features.

You can now take a photo of many pictures together and it will separate them and make individual photos. This is good when you put them on a light table.
