Good product, in fact really good if you want to scan a single photo. But if you need to scan many, then it is a pain. Resolution is fairly good. Corner/edge detection fails at times. Another point, old photos tend to get curved in, and this App often is not able to resolve corners or edges when that happens. Then, you need a speedy internet connection. Finally, and my biggest gripe - it takes a bit too long to process a single photo. Not good if you want to digitize your old photo album.

While the scanning of photo is exceptional, the options post scanning are limited. It would be great if option to change the date of the scanned photo is provided (currently it shows up on Google Photos as an on date photo, which is weird for a photo from 50 years ago). Another feature that i would like to see in this app is the ability to make albums, so that date of the entire album can be set manually, instead of doing it individually for the photos. Please consider making these changes.

Concept is solid, execution suffers. Scanned photos look over processed no matter the device (Android or iOS). If I turn the flash off, Hair get smoothed out, while the entire picture has grains. If I turn the flash on, there is no glare but the entire picture has a completely different color temperature. There's no batch scanning either, so forget scanning entire albums in one go. Document scanning apps and (if you're willing to invest some time) the camera app do a better job.
