AVOID USING THIS APP!!

I BOUGHT this app after originally trying the basic version and it was great. Unfortunately, the developer updated that version and I could no longer use it with receiving an error message after a long delay. The we developers website is no longer there either.

Pleasant surprise

Miraculously the app came back to life on an ipad mini 2 ! It was able to ocr a RX pill bottle. I will test it further. It's quite possible that this app may pleasantly surprise me. (I still want to know why it was quirky (I did delete and reload for performance to return).

Great size

Takes little memory and works great on ios10.

Total waste

Do not bother with this POS. Its main function is to serve advertising — mostly intrusive splash screens with loud video. An app that does nothing but turn a photo into a PDF is *not* an OCR app. This junk appears to be nothing but a cut-down version of another useless, ad-infested app called "Scanner OCR" which likewise produces no usable text output, just garbled alphanumetic strings. Are these two developers accomplices? Apple should investigate. Scammers should be run out of the developer organization for life.
