## What is FilmBox by Photomyne?

Brought to you by the developer who built the smartest photo scanner app, Photomyne is proud to now offer an AI-powered negative film scanner app that will blow you away. See how those hidden negative memories are instantly revealed and scanned.

IT’S AUTOMATIC - JUST ADD CAMERA FILM NEGATIVES:
1. Open a backlight source on your computer (or use the link provided in the app)
2. Hold the film strip vertically in front of the light
3. Long-press the capture button or simply say “Go” (if voice control is enabled)
4. See negatives magically scanned and images revealed

The app’s scanning algorithm automatically inverts colors and enhances the image so you get the best possible scans of your old film negatives.

OPTIONAL IN-APP UPGRADE:
The first few photos are free. For unlimited use, consider purchasing an optional paid plan (in-app purchase). 
Here are the premium features you get with a paid plan:
* Unlimited scanning
* Unlimited photo saving and sharing
* Photo backup and access on other devices and online.

The app offers an optional paid plan via monthly/yearly auto-renewing subscriptions**, as well as a One-Time plan which is paid for by a single upfront payment (valid for 2 years). These offer unlimited access to the premium mentioned above.

**Payment will be charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew itself unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings in the App Store. If offered, if you choose to use our free trial, any unused portion of the free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

### 1/5 — Rip off!

*2026-08-12, version 3.17*

I paid a membership fee for unlimited lifetime usage, but now I have to pay to keep using the app. What a rip off and a racket!!!

### 5/5 — Very good pics

*2026-08-05, version 3.17*

Enjoy using this

### 2/5 — Add extra features

*2026-07-27, version 3.17*

Need to add upload from photo to make it worth while

### 2/5 — Bad app

*2026-07-24, version 3.17*

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.

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-07-17, version 3.17*

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

### 5/5 — Improved features.

*2026-07-16, version 3.17*

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.

### 3/5 — Manda baixar outro app

*2026-07-15*

Depois de 2 dias (paguei 1 mês) mandou baixar outro app.

**Developer response:** Lamentamos pela confusão. Recomendamos o Photomyne porque queremos que você aproveite ao máximo a sua assinatura, com acesso à digitalização de fotos, negativos e slides em um único app, sem custo adicional. Se ainda restar alguma dúvida sobre a mensagem que recebeu ou sobre sua assinatura, entre em contato conosco pelo support@photomyne.com. Ficaremos felizes em ajudar.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2026-06-30, version 3.17*

Don’t want to use Google and the photos disappear no good gonna delete right away. I haven’t even been doing it an hour.

### 5/5 — Adorei!!!

*2026-06-16*

Estou me divertindo… funciona super bem. Claro que, quanto mais antigo o negativo, menos definição…mas atende muito bem!

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela avaliação incrível! Ficamos felizes em saber que você está se divertindo usando o app e que ele está atendendo bem às suas expectativas. Você tem razão: a qualidade final pode variar de acordo com a condição e a idade do negativo, mas é ótimo saber que os resultados têm sido satisfatórios. Boas digitalizações!

### 5/5 — Great app! Restore Memories.

*2026-06-10, version 3.16*

Works well.  Easy to use.  Fair price for annual sub.
