Contact PhotoScan Support

I LOVED this app when it first released. It was perfect. The photos were hi res, crisp, no glare, and it cropped the images perfectly. But it has come down over the years. Now, my images constantly have glare unless I have just the right lighting in the room. And even then, I still have to ignore small glares. The pictures seem to be fuzzy now. Sometimes it better to just take a normal picture with my iPhone camera app. The biggest headache now is that the magnifying glass tool that you use to crop the images is completely broken (displays just a black dot). This makes it impossible to accurately crop your images. Makes it impossible to conveniently crop them at all. It’s so fiddly. Judging by the fact that this app hasn’t been updated in over 4 years, my guess is Google stopped caring. Such a bummer.

I like this app, a lot actually. It does a good job of removing glare, but you still have to have good lighting otherwise some parts of the photo will be brighter than others. But I might just be noticing that bc I like to edit photos and can run into problems if a photo doesn’t have consistent lighting. But even with that I would still give this app five stars, except that isn’t the only issue that I’ve been having. About half the time that I’m trying to do a scan the app just quits and I am sent to my homepage. I’m wondering if this is bc I have an older phone ? I Have an iPhone 6? So is it possible that this app isn’t compatible with my phone. I’m going to give this app 3 stars, only because if it takes me 3 tries to get one scan without the app mysteriously quitting then that def leaves areas for improvement . However if I hear from support on this app who can help me resolve my issue then I will change my rating to five stars. I’ve already tried deleting and reinstalling the app once before.

This app is very good and I have tried several including both phone based and also a flatbed scanner. It removes glare very well from both satin and glossy photos. It seems to auto correct for faded color which eliminates a post scan step. The auto cropping is also good.

The two suggestions would be 1) To allow an auto create of an album. 2) To allow the capture of some notes along with the picture. But these two things are minor and can also be handled after the fact.

Modified Review: the final resolution is pretty low... several other apps do significantly better... I stand by the review above... it is easy to use and does a good job of removing glare, however, the current final resolution does not allow for a good display on a full sized monitors which is should be table stakes for type of app.
