Need to be able to use the share sheet

This app does really well with any photo I throw at it and its uncanny how close the identified fonts are, but I don’t want to have to add images to my photos to identify the font. I wish I could just use the share sheet on images from screenshots/other apps.

Useful tool

I used this app to make a clock face like one I saw in an old photo. I was impressed and really appreciate the functionality of this app. Thanks!

Astonishingly poor

Absolutely incredible how it gets nothing right. I tried it on for quite well used fonts and it did not even come close to getting any right.
