Read full descriptionHide full description
Works with 35mm and 120 medium-format negatives (6ร4.5, 6ร6, 6ร7 and 6ร9), in color or black-and-white. Put a strip in a holder that masks between frames and each frame is cropped automatically, or shoot one frame at a time. Any crop can be adjusted by hand. Turn your old film negatives into real photos. Got a box of 35mm negatives in a drawer? Negative Scanner turns them into positive pictures using just your phone. Photograph a negative against any light โ a window, a lamp, or a lightbox โ and the app converts it into the photo it was always meant to be. Color negatives carry an orange film-base mask; Negative Scanner removes it and inverts the image, giving you a great starting point. Because color varies from film to film, easy exposure and white-balance sliders let you nudge skin tones and colors until they look right. Black-and-white negatives invert cleanly too. No ads. No subscription. Pay once and scan forever. โข PHOTOGRAPH, DON'T BUY HARDWARE โ no scanner, no dock, no adapter. Your phone and any light source are all you need. โข COLOR & BLACK-AND-WHITE โ orange-mask removal for color film, clean inversion for B&W. โข A GREAT STARTING POINT, THEN FINE-TUNE โ manual exposure and white-balance let you dial in the look. Reset anytime. โข LIVE PREVIEW โ see the positive update as you adjust, before you save. โข FULL RESOLUTION โ save the finished picture to Photos, or share it to Files and beyond. No watermark. โข 100% ON DEVICE โ your negatives and photos never leave your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no uploads. โข NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION โ negative-scanning apps love a weekly fee. This one is a single purchase. Pay once, keep it forever. Perfect for digitizing family archives, 35mm rolls, and vintage analog shots you thought were gone for good. Note: color-negative conversion depends on the film stock and your light source. Think of the automatic result as a strong first pass โ the built-in exposure and white-balance controls make it easy to finish the look yourself. $4.99 one-time unlocks unlimited scans. No subscription, no ads, no catch.
FieldCue

FieldCue is a single-purpose app for finishing field-instruction photos right on your phone. Photos' built-in perspective tool crops the image into a straight rectangle, but it can't reshape each corner independently. FieldCue adds that missing piece: corner-pin correction that moves all four corners on their own, straightening skewed edges in seconds. From there, add lead lines, text notes, and dimension lines in the fewest taps possible. HOW IT WORKS 1. Place - Rotate the photo with two fingers to level it against the on-screen grid. 2. Warp - Drag each corner freely to square up the shot. 3. Crop - Trim to any ratio, keeping just what matters. 4. Annotate - Draw a lead line from the spot you want to mark, release, and type. 5. Dimension - Draw a line to measure, release, and enter a number. 6. Save - Crop in, choose your text size, and save straight to your camera roll. No app UI ends up in the saved photo - just the straightened image with your notes and dimensions, ready to send by email or text exactly like you always have. SPECIAL FEATURES - Search what you write: tap the search icon on any note to look up a part or model number in the built-in browser, without retyping it. - Save up to 20 in-progress files, with thumbnails sorted newest first. - Launch straight from your camera roll: share a photo from the Photos app and open it directly in FieldCue. Built for construction sites, retail displays, furniture layout, and any job where you need to straighten a photo, mark it up, and send it - fast. One-time purchase, no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases. iPhone only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Negativo at Free against FieldCue's $1.99. FieldCue's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
