### 1/5 — Why does this need mic access to run?!

*2025-09-25, version 1.0.3*

Just loaded and started and understandably asked for access to camera, which I gave. This strangely asks for access to mic, which I denied. On trying to use for colour slides says it doesn’t have access to camera, which on checking I confirmed it does. Will only run if it also has access to mic. WHY? Seems very dodgy to me.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2024-12-08*

Very bad quality scanner. Other scanner apps are much much better. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Not working with iPhone X

*2023-12-11, version 1.0.3*

Why not? The App loads and then says it won’t work with this camera.

### 1/5 — Microphone

*2022-10-30*

Deny microphone access and app won’t work

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-07-10*

Very buggy, awful photo results

### 1/5 — Not support for iPhone 13

*2022-02-05*

The app won’t work with my iPhone 13, there is no way to focus the negatives

### 1/5 — Freezing

*2022-01-06*

App keeps freezing! Terrible

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2021-12-26*

Worthless - very bad quality of pictures

### 1/5 — Hacker/spying application

*2021-11-08*

I can’t tell you whether or not this application is any good because it won’t work unless I allow it access to my microphones, which basically means it wants to be able to spy on me. Are used to work in computer security and there’s no way in heck I am loading this sucker onto my phone. There are other applications to do the same job and don’t require that

### 4/5 — App works fairly well

*2021-09-22*

App works fairly well compared to the free Kodak version (which is very similar in interface).  The first time the camera focuses is about the best the image will get with clarity (not color), however some additional tuning you will get a decent image. This app REQUIRES access to the microphone for some reason. It will not work without that access and unsure why it even needs it.  Otherwise it works pretty good for a free app to accompany the film negative rig. It suits my needs and has saved me from having to find a film developer. 👍🏾👍🏾
