It wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty close to it. We were very happy with the results. My one complaint is that I think Photomyne should remove SlideScan and light box apps from the App Store, because they have upgraded Photomyne to include the functionality of those apps. I was a little annoyed that I paid for SlideScan when I could’ve paid the same price for Photomyne and been able to scan slides, negatives, and photos ### 5/5 — Slide Saver *2026-02-09, version 3.17* This app makes it easy to scan, restore, and save old slides into new memories ### 5/5 — 🫤 *2026-02-07, version 3.17* This app does a good job of converting old slides to digital. My problem is that when I’m done, I can’t delete my photos in the app and cancel my subscription without the converted photos being deleted from my phone albums. This effectively requires me to maintain my subscription indefinitely 😠 ### 5/5 — Works ! *2026-01-27, version 3.17* SlideScan works as advertised. It allowed me to capture some old slides. The backlight is important. Dark slides require a bright even light. ### 5/5 — See reflection of my photo in photo *2026-01-25, version 3.17* I can see my phone reflection on the pic ### 5/5 — Captured! *2026-01-13, version 3.17* Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Best option to convert slides *2026-01-04, version 3.17* Very simple efficient way to digitize your slides. I did 1,000 slides in 4 days, & they came out great! ### 4/5 — Aussie Photos *2025-12-30, version 3.17* Mac Memories ### 5/5 — Great Service *2025-12-28, version 3.17* Great Service. I scanned 2000 slides. Great results to share with my family. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-12-25, version 3.17* I love the ease of copying my slides through the app and downloading them on my phone. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2025-12-23, version 3.17* I had Ecktachrome slides from my childhood that I wanted to see. I found this app and was absolutely amazed at how easy it was to scan over 100 slides in no time and to be able to see these as clear pictures again! Absolutely amazing application! ### 5/5 — So easy! *2025-12-17, version 3.17* Been using this app for a while. So quick and easy. Love the option to add photo details. Such a treat to have old slides in a useable form. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-12-15, version 3.17* Easy to use ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor customer service *2026-07-30, version 3.18* Free trial says it is good for 3 days, but locked my account on the first day. Tried to contact customer service but never got a response except for the automated messages saying the account is closed as soon as you cancel. Yet, when you cancel, the app says account is active until the free trial ends. ### 1/5 — Why *2026-07-07, version 3.18* Why don’t they disclose-before you download it and they steal all your info and track you-that it’s not free. So egregious. Nowhere does it state that there is a “3-day” trial. Grrrr ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel free trial *2026-05-03, version 3.17* I tried this app, but wasn’t happy with the scanning. I can’t find an option to cancel my free trial. That is why the one star ### 1/5 — $$$ *2025-12-28, version 3.17* Très mauvaise app, pas agréable à utiliser, le résultat est médiocre, utilisez l’app photo vous allez perdre moins de temps. ### 1/5 — Slides too old *2025-10-26, version 3.16* Just didn’t get good results ### 1/5 — Very Poor Quality *2025-09-04, version 3.16* I’m used to the results from a high quality flatbed scanner from film of all types. This software produces a very mushy result which is very evident when the result is displayed on a large screen. Not even worth the effort. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2025-08-07, version 3.16* Terrible app! Locks your photos inside their app/website and can’t get them without paying. Quality is terrible, with every photo over-corrected and grainy. ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-07-31, version 3.16* Just took my first scanned slide. Enlarged quality very poor. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed the directions close ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for my task and too late for a refund. *2025-07-24, version 3.16* Need a refund. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-07-12, version 3.16* They offer 3 days free trial but once I gave my bank information they took $49 from my account at the beginning of the trial !! I had to close my card .NOT RELIABLE! Be AWARE!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hard sell ads blocks use *2026-07-29, version 3.18* I purchased the app to scan old slides but now I am unable to send digital copies via email because of ad pop-ups to upgrade service. The ads DOWNGRADE service. If I cannot use the app as advertised, I will cancel service and recommend to friends to avoid Slide/Scan ### 5/5 — Old family slides *2026-06-21, version 3.18* I love this app because it’s easy to scan the slides and send them to family through messenger ### 5/5 — Miracle *2026-06-08, version 3.17* Thanks ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-06, version 3.17* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-18, version 3.17* I was able to download old family slides & the editing tool is great! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-11, version 3.17* Years of images digitized. ### 5/5 — Happy days with SlideScan *2026-04-30, version 3.17* Great platform ### 5/5 — I managed to do it! *2026-04-15, version 3.17* Deciding to throw out all my slides- this was the app I used to decide which to save, which to delete. I am 75 and figured out how to do it without a problem. I mean the saved quality is nothing compared to putting them in an old fashioned slide projector, but many memorable pictures came up which I could readily share with others. I also could save them on my phone. Very pleased with myself and the app. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-03-14, version 3.17* I have so many old slides that I can now scan to photos! I am so impressed! I’ve only had the app for a few days and I’m hooked. I purchased a Photomyne mini light box and scanning is a breeze! This app is priceless! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-03-04, version 3.17* Works like a charm! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
