### 1/5 — 2soon2kNo

*2023-05-28*

I will never give a good review if the developer doesn’t want me to actually learn how to use it and then give me enough time to use it.  I’m not comfortable with giving people a false positive.  If I like the app I will let others know.  If I don’t like the app I won’t bother writing at all.  If you want instant gratification and can’t wait for me to rate you I can only be a little suspicious about your motives.  Being patient will give a higher chance of getting the rating you deserve.

### 4/5 — Search works great with text images!

*2018-06-27*

Not much success with live camera; however, it’s simple to just take a photo then search.

### 4/5 — Not perfect but it does the job well

*2017-04-25*

This is the only app on the app store providing near real time text search from an image.  I use this to scan menus or nutrition labels for allergy keywords.   Also helps finding a section of text in a book or magazine quickly without re-reading everything.  Please keep updating and improving!!!
