### 5/5 — Works well!

*2026-07-22*

Some effort is required with lighting setup so you don’t get reflections and glare but a dark room with a white side lamp works well

Once set up 10-12 photos a minute is doable. 

The colour fix works well. Recovers blue and greens from aged photos. I was thinking i’d need to disable that but i ended up leaving it on. 
Bulk metadata updates are a nice touch too

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re glad Photo Scanner is working well for you. Being able to update details across multiple scanned photos at once can be especially helpful when digitizing a larger photo collection. We appreciate you sharing your experience!

### 1/5 — This one used to be the best

*2026-06-08, version 2.4.7*

5 years ago I wrote a review saying this app was by far the best option out of all of them. Instead of subscriptions, you paid once and you were done. No ads at the time either. Shortly after the iPhone 13 or 14 released the developer never realized that on the iPhone Pro models the app needs to be updated to auto-switch to the proper camera for closeup images, otherwise everything is just blurry. So okay, I just ended up keeping my iPhone 12 to use this app and I sent feedback to the app developer showing the issue on video… They saw the feedback but they just didn’t fix the issue. It’s still blurry for new iPhones years later. And to make it worse they are asking for an annual subscription now to scan photos instead of the one time payment. In addition, the iPhone 12 I have used this app years for because newer phones are blurry is no longer lets me scan because it says I have to subscribe, so I guess it’s just ignoring the one time payment I made originally? If you ask for a recurring subscription now, at least fix your app to use the right camera on newer phones so it doesn’t take blurry photos. Ads on the app now too. Pretty sad to see what was once such a great app get to such a state that it is in now.

### 1/5 — BEWARE

*2026-05-07, version 2.4.7*

They charge you even after you cancel your subscription!

### 1/5 — Blurry at best and no support

*2026-04-22, version 2.4.6*

I have used this app for five years. The first four years it was great. Something has happened since then and I have tried my hardest to get actual support but all they give you is 12 hours later an email that send you the link to the support articles. I have already read. Terrible and extremely frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2026-03-29, version 2.4.6*

Fuzzy pics.  My iPhone camera is way better.

### 1/5 — Missing photos

*2026-02-02, version 2.4.6*

When I logged back into the app, all of the photos I had restored were gone. Now I have lost old photos that I cannot get back.

### 3/5 — Not so good now

*2026-01-29, version 2.4.6*

It was great 5 years ago. Upgraded yesterday and it no longer does multiple scans of your photo but leaves in the glare.

### 1/5 — Can’t use it anymore

*2026-01-12, version 2.4.6*

I'm wondering why I can no longer use the photo scan, even though I purchased it in 2021. It now requires a subscription.

### 4/5 — Great Performance

*2026-01-11, version 2.4.6*

A++++
