Wasted money

Don't even think about wasting your money on this junk. First, you are charged money for two scans. And then they also demand money from you for a subscription! I signed up and eventually found that the app did not translate anything.

Not worth it

Have used this app off and on over 5 years. It’s always been a painful experience. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Unstable is probably the best word. And believe me, I’ve checked connectivity, capacity, phone s/w and any other potential issues not related to app, but it still only works occasionally.

Cost even more $$$ to OCR. SCAM!

Purchased this as part of a bundle of their productivity group of apps. Originally Pixter scanned and OCR’d just fine.

NOW you need to buy required the “PRO” version to OCR a document. What a rip off!!!!!

DO NOT buy this scam!!!

Don’t buy it!

You have to pay for every scan. In app price you have only two scans! Don’t waste your money!!!

Difficult

In the time it’s taking me to figure out how to get the text I want from the photo, I could have typed it up myself twice.
