★★★★★ Camilo · Sep 4, 2026

Really good, doesn't force you to pay for a watermark, unlike others, really simple to use.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Lewoniuk · Jun 28, 2026

Shows Scanned by Google Photos on every picture and needs to be cropped out. Useless

★★☆☆☆ Lynn Maynard · May 22, 2026

Poor results. I get clearer pictures taking a photo of a photo of my cell phone.

★☆☆☆☆ Jay Lauretano · May 20, 2026

THE APP DELETED MY ENTIRE ALBUM WHEN I WAS ONLY TRYING TO SCAN ONE PHOTO AND I WANT THAT ALBUM BACK IT'S NOWHERE IN MY PHONE

★☆☆☆☆ APURBA BAYEN · Apr 26, 2026

What is this MOVE THE CIRCLE TO DOTS? Is it a game? Is it a robot deterrent challenge? Why the app crashes?

★★☆☆☆ MK Kadavath · May 29, 2026

Outdated app for the AI era. Manually clicking 4 corners to scan a single photo is frustrating and time-consuming. Google should either update it with automatic AI scanning or remove it from the Play Store.
