### 1/5 — Horrible

*2014-10-22*

Does not work don't buy this app

**Developer response:** This is for the 2014 release which used Tesseract/ImageMagick, totally different app. Current version as of 2026 is VisionKit.

### 5/5 — AMAZING! Worth the $$$!

*2014-07-07*

So I have a confessions account on Instagram and copying confessions word for word over DM was a pain in the butt because some were super long. But with this app, it's SOO much easier! All you do is take a screen shot, highlight what you want to copy and that's it!! 😍👍

**Developer response:** LOL
