### 2/5 — うーん

*2026-05-30*

イマイチ使えないなぁ。ネガを確認する程度なら良いけど、現像した画像として保存するには適してないです。名前の通りかもしれませんが。もう少しブラッシュアップしてくれると嬉しい。残念。

### 4/5 — 普通に使えます

*2026-05-28*

簡易的にネガを確認したい場合はとても便利だと思います。

### 1/5 — 残念ながら

*2026-02-11*

使えない

### 4/5 — Give it a try…

*2025-01-31, version 2.1.1*

It’s not super intuitive but once figured out it does what it says. Converted a bunch of Victorian glass negs with great results…

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2021-10-07*

It’s not worth the money. I downloaded a free one too which worked a lot better. I would like a refund it’s that bad

**Developer response:** Please visit the following URL and follow the instructions to refund.

The free version has 99% same source code, so it should have almost same behavior with the free version. Could you tell me more detail?

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2021-10-02*

これを商品としないでほしい。

**Developer response:** ご期待に沿えず残念です。アップルのサポートページから返金可能です。

また、改善点など教えていただけるとありがたいです。

### 5/5 — Good job on B&W negatives

*2021-06-29*

I discovered some B&W negatives from the ‘50s in an old family box. This app did a really good job turning them into quality B&W pics - I held the negatives up against a lit white wall - results will probably be even better with a light box.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Any comments or suggestions are always welcome!

### 3/5 — It‘s OK, but not really what I wanted

*2021-05-10*

I was in a hurry and it was cheap. I expected it to just show me the images as they would look when printed. Maybe a wrong expectation on my part - the image is reversed but the colours are off. But, as I said, it was cheap, and the need is now over, so I deleted it.

Thanks to the developer for quick feedback advising use of a backlight panel to get the best results. I would do that if I have a need in future.

**Developer response:** Without a back light panel, it would be something like the colors are off. To get clear images, please use a back light panel. You can buy one ~$20.

### 1/5 — No black and white. No instructions. Does not work

*2020-11-07, version 1.1.0*

Unless I am missing something - do not buy. Not even able to save photos...
