Doesn’t work as described

This app works fine with the pre installed photos, but hardly functions at all with screen grabs and is touch and go with photos. It seems to stretch and skew all screen shots, even though the picture is perfectly clear, and due to ZERO actual app support, this is the only way to inform the developers.

Needs to be fixed - crashes every time it starts.

This program used to work, but it still crashes every time it starts under iOS 10.2 (iPhone 6s Plus). Developer says he only responds to email, but there is no email address to request support. Can occasionally get it to start with 3D Touch.

Very good

Nice but make please this app universal both for iPhone and iPad. I love it

Brilliant!

This is magic, scan worked 100% on the sample games & is the best scanner I've found so far. I love the swipe entry of numbers, miles faster than a keyboard. Well done devs!

zero stars!

Was so happy & hopeful to find a new sudoku scanner - and now so disappointed! After scanning, the application shuts itself down (tried several times).
Hope you can fix this.
