It is great, but if you stuff anything up, or cancel, you often can't generate the game and have to do everything from scratch. So frustrating! Fix this to be less flaky, and it is 5 stars. Update: Great app... but, on Android, if you cancel the generation for example, maybe to add the second scoresheet because you forgot, you then can't click the "generate game" button. It's grayed out. Happens in other circumstances too. Please also fix auto layout gen using times column.

Works great. I use this to scan in my kids games. Way faster than typing it in manually. It's not perfect but over 90 percent accuracy. It does a great job interpreting my kids handwriting.
★★☆☆☆Darren Stahl· May 27, 2025
After spending 15 minutes fixing up a scanned game, the app requests payment to export to PGN? It should never let me waste that much time without a warning that I have to pay to actually use the result.
