Comparing this app to other apps and it seems to be the same trash quality
Hard to get good resolution on the photos in spite of following all the tips. The focus bounces all over the place and it’s hard to capture images.
This app is so great for scanning your printed photos and getting them updated on your phone or iPad
Great
Easy to use. The tip to move farther from the photo for best results really helps.
I really like this app. It is easy to use and has helped me restore old photos with their simple but effective tools.
Works, easy
can't have it Clean up the marketing agency glare on the photos automatically, and that's very disappointing. You can do lots of small tweaks with the editor, but not the main one I want!
This app advertises that it will scan images that will come out with having 300 DPI. I tried using it and when I exported it to my computer and looked at the image details under properties, it had 96 dpi. Unhelpful.
I’m 66 and have kept my head above water with the latest technology … have a multitude of photo albums that I have wanted to convert. Didn’t want the hassle of having to take them out and scan on my printer. Phototyme seemed like a perfect solution - but not worth $19.99/month! I actually asked @Grok for other Photo apps and it mentioned Pic Scanner Gold. The ONE TIME Cost of $9.99 is incredible! I just scanned an entire 3 week vacation of 275 pics to Yellowstone in 15 minutes! Literally just took a pic of each page of the album and software cropped and saved each one. ** I did appreciate the note in the instructions about reducing glare - it really helped! I can now SHARE all my photos with friends and family - GREAT PRODUCT‼️
I really love the fact that no data is collected like it is on so many other apps. And it works wonderful.
I like the simplicity of this app. Very easy to use and the quality of scans are very good. OMG! What a life saver! I’ve been searching for quite sometime now, for ways to preserve and digitalize family photos by far this is the most promising. And after scanning 1 big photo album of my late son, I felt so much better. Thank you.
