What's New in QromaScan

5.0

October 20, 2026

QromaScan 5.0 Release Notes October 19, 2026 For more detailed information on these new features, please go to the Settings Panel and tap on Resources & Support to see version Walkthroughs, User Guides, Video Tutorials and Support information. What's New iCloud sync, rebuilt. Photos and details sync through iCloud, files you drop into your Import folder from a Mac appear within about a minute, and your names, places and relationships lists stay in step across your devices. Turning iCloud off removes the iCloud copy and keeps your library on this device. A new photo viewer. Full-screen photos with fast swiping. Tap to show a header, a toolbar and a quick summary of the date, place, keywords and description. Edit in the viewer. Swipe up to change a photo's description, date, location or keywords. Each change saves straight to the photo file. People that other apps can read. Names you tag as people are also saved in the photo's standard people fields. A new Import screen. Press and hold to select photos, then tag one or many at once. Tag by voice. Press and hold the microphone and say a caption. QromaScan fills in the date, place and people, and you confirm. Edit your photos. Crop, rotate, straighten and adjust, and press and hold to compare with the original. Edits keep the photo's date, place, keywords and people. Upscaling (experimental). Optionally enlarge new scans, imports and edited photos to about 12 megapixels, on your device. You can keep the original. Smarter tagging. Natural Language Tagging now reads dates such as 6/16/1987 and June 1987, and learns from your corrections. See what it has learned, or forget it, in Settings. Settings, refreshed. Use names from Contacts (off until you turn it on), give names spoken aliases, and open the User Guide and Walkthrough, email support, and Acknowledgements from Resources & Support. Requires iOS 17 or later. Bug Fixes Thumbnails that failed to load now try again instead of staying blank. Fixed duplicate photos after syncing. Fixed the Restore Purchase buttons being hidden behind another screen. Spoken descriptions are now always saved.

Same bugs, apparently

I purchased the Qromascan bundle & no more than downloaded the app, set my preferences & explores it a bit. Then the app stalled & would not do anything. I deleted it & am going to try reinstalling but this isn’t a very confidence inspiring beginning.

Buggy

I would love this software if it were more stable. I spend more time recovering from the app stalling, or crashing iOS completely than scanning.

The voice recognition is reasonably good, though when the software tries to find places it doesn’t seem to know that Nelson’s Column is not in Ontario, Canada, even though it captured the word “England” and not “Canada” or “Ontario.”

Response from developer

Your situation might be unique, since most of our crashing bugs from the new v3 should have been fixed by v3.0.3, and we don't see many crashes from our analytics. If this isn't the case for you, we offer free support via our website, and we can probably figure it out if you send us your log file.

Fantastic love it

I adding to the original content. I scanned 140 photos super quick it would have taken hours on my regular scanner. LOVE IT

I have a sense just how difficult and complex this project is in reality. Worked nicely for me on 6s - 9.1. I showed it to my wife and she was impressed and my gadgets often fail to wow her. She wants another for my son and grandson. I waited and did not try the earlier versions.

Thanks for taking the effort to bringing this to us. Keep improving. Would like a flattening tool.

Impressed!!!

Great idea -- is it broken?

Scanning function in app doesn't work at all. Looks broken. I really appreciate the idea but c'mon, this isn't useable.
