Photo Scanner Pro: Scan Albums

It seems to be really difficult to export images except in the perfect conditions. My resulting scans, when looking to view them, are just gray boxes, when selected, for a long time. It has been a very handy app, but it's less handy when you cannot view or share the results readily. Years ago, I thought I’d give it a try, and tried similar apps. This one stuck around. It is so easy to use. It’s great for scanning documents and photos. (The trick is putting scan items on a contrasting surface, i.e., dark surface for white or light edges or photos with white borders, and bright backgrounds for darker photos or borders, etc.) Over the years, this app has helped so much, when I went through old family photos in my mother‘s house, to share them with the family. (The resulting image files are far better than having to slap them on a flat scanner and scan them.) The huge value is in the quick, digital saving of memories, record-keeping, and the sharing. If it’s perfectly square, it’s a lot faster and better than with the straight camera. It provides a great result almost every time. And if I have to do it again, it’s still much easier than the alternatives, unless you have the time or patience for other ways. The issues with slowness to actually use the scan results is giving me big doubts.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I wanted to thank the developers. To my fellow photo documentarians, this app is the best of its kind, and it merits praise. My rating is authoritative, as I have tested over 100 photo scanning apps, from the Apple App Store (e.g., Adobe Scan, Scannable, Scan Thing, SnapScan, BaiOCR Text grabber scanner, etc...). This app is the only app that is not only affordable, but that has a simple and easy to use interface. The other scanner apps cannot handle bulk scanning, and crash after loading 50 or more photos (even the ones with exorbitantly high subscription fees). So aggravating. This app has the power to scan 458 photos at once, and automatically saves your work. With no hidden fees, I can’t say enough good things about this app. I wish I’d of found it sooner. Thank you to the developers.

Takes crisp images of original old fashioned photographs, if you angle your phone just right, they come out looking like they were taken with my phone. It has a crop option too. The very cool thing is that I can take boxes and boxes of old family photographs and have them on my phone for easy access, whenever I want to reprint or show off my baby pics lol. I do like this app, I like that you have the option of storing them on the app or transfer your pics to your phone, I do both. Perfect way to back up those priceless memories, than just having the originals in a box and running the risks of being damaged or lost forever.
