Lots of glitches
I can’t use this

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry the app gave you trouble. We just put out a big update that rebuilds it and should fix the crashes and bugs you hit. Worth another try if you're open to it.

Grab text is awesome

Great for scanning unique items. Best way to turn your phone into a scanner!! The ability to take a picture and grab all text instantly is amazing!

Response from developer

Really glad the text grabbing is clicking for you, 43jinks. That's the part we spent the most time on, so good to hear it's working.

Owner, Digitally Demented

Clean, simple app that does exactly what it says.

I've already put in a feature request, and the developer has already responded.

Very excited to see what's next from this developer!

Response from developer

Thanks Blaze. Keep the feature requests coming, we read all of them and a few are already in the works. More soon.

Simple, accurate, and privacy first

Fast, accurate, and refreshingly simple. ScanWow puts privacy first, with everything staying on your device by default. The scans are great, the text extraction is spot on, and there’s zero clutter. You can tell this was made with care.

Response from developer

Appreciate the kind words. Keeping it simple and on-device was the whole point, so glad that came through.

Good scanning app

Easy to use on the go

Response from developer

Thanks Rob. If there's anything that would make it a 5 for you, let us know and we'll take a look.
