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.
Garbage!
Downloaded to attempt use of the translate function and it does not work. As a scanner it works OK but I have better scanners from other companies.
Don’t bother
£1.99 upfront and then you have to pay another £7 if you want more than 3 translations. Pure rip off.
Good OCR
The Best thing I can say about this app is it has 90% good OCR for English. The app crashes when a document is deleted. It is extremely hard to crop a text scan. You can import a previous scanned document that cannot crop at successfully.
Pixter OCR app
I don’t remember how long ago it was that I wrote my original review below, but opening up a Pixter to “OCR” a page out of my son’s book, I find that if I want to do what I have been doing for several years, I now have to pay for it.
It seems that there have been other changes to this app that had me scratching my head. It had previously been simple and intuitive to use, but not today.
So, I withdraw the five stars I had given it in my previous review from whenever that was.

PREVIOUS REVIEW:
Like one of the reviewers before me, this is my first time writing a review for an iPhone app. This one is perfect. I went to a bulletin board nearby, used this app to take a picture of a lot of text in the ad, and converted it to text that I was able to use immediately. This is awesome!

Well below commercial standards
This app is at best a beta product. While a simple & useful concept, the interface is obscure and functionality less than expected. It crashes often and the software implementation is crude to say the least.
Unfortunately I really don’t know how this got through Apple’s review process.

Worst update ever!!!
The app stopped working and I stopped further considering it one of the nicest apps in its category. Good riddance!!
Former great app rendered useless
This used to be a great app where you could take a picture of text, OCR it, and then translate it. Having upgraded to the most recent version, the translation module is disabled. Spend 7 bucks to enable it, and it still doesn’t work at all. I’ve been screwed, learn from my mistake.
Must enable Notifications?!
Now this app requires that you enable notifications. Can’t skip it. Too many OCR apps out there to deal with this garbage.
Avoid
Installed, paid for but it failed to translate and developers did not respond to my email.
I have to agree with others with this app
I used to love and rely on this app to copy text from things that took forever to type up. But now typing is way more worth the time than spending any money on an app that doesn’t work. Nice try guys, but you should go back to how the app was. I can’t remember if this app was something that was free or if I purchased it; if I was to remember that I spent money on this app I will be very unhappy cause I’m definitely deleting it.

This has changed my life!
This app is literally a life saver. Discovering that I can take pictures and have things typed for me... unbelievable. Thank you!!!
trash
it won't even open -.-
App ruinée par la mise à jour
De loin la pire mise à jour d'application, toutes catégories confondues, depuis que j'ai commencé à utiliser des applications en 2008. Plus rien n'est rapide, tout est lourd, et l'app s'est elle-même ajoutée 20 images "exemples" pour me démontrer combien elle est bonne... mais elle est mauvaise!!!
J'avais donné 5 étoiles à l'ancienne version, j'en enlève 4 aujourd'hui.

I never used pixter before
I never used pixter before. Downloaded only to find it crashing lol
Piece of manure
Does not even start.
And from what I read in other reviews, it would even get worse if it did.
