Maybe it's a quirk of my phone, but I always have a HUGE amount of glare in every single scan. The results are 100% useless. Also, the step where you have to "move" something to four circles seems as unnecessary as it is cumbersome. It doesn't appear to serve any purpose at all. This was the only free scanning app I could find that doesn't demand access to info it couldn't possibly need. I'll be sticking with my laptop and scanner.

Works pretty well. Not a replacement for a printer/scanner, but if you can place a photo in bright light (don't use flash!), without too large an area of glare, you can make a pretty nice, quick scan of a photo anywhere you happen to be. Nice for dropping in on relatives and looking through the family album. Might take one or two tries to eliminate glare and haze.

I have been using this app for years to save stray physical photos. I have had no issues finding my photos in my gallery or "files". The best part, no flash-point. The app has you takes pictures at each corner of the photo and it adds them together for a glare free upload equivalent to any other photocopier. There may be better apps, but I haven't found them yet. If you doubt my review, I used to develope your 1 hour film.
