Does exactly what I need

Great app! I can search for text in my over 20,000 photos

What a wonderful app. I take photos of business cards, menus, important documents etc. and It can find photos with the text I am searching for. It doesn’t matter what font, size or angle of text in a photo (like vertical text etc.), it finds them all.

The developer is very responsive - normally within 24 hours. I suggested a new feature for the app and he added the feature and had an update in the App Store in 2-3 days.

I’m just a user of the app, and am not associated with the developer in any way.
