Comments on PhotoScan by Google Photos for Android

★★★★★ Camilo · Sep 4, 2026

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

★★★★★ Hitesh Patel · Sep 7, 2026

★★★★★ Theresa Llamas · Jun 25, 2026

All my Old Baby Photos was Scan in here & Develops so Fast very Quick too Saved Easily from my Accounts the Result was Good my Throwback Photos

★☆☆☆☆ Coby Hight · Sep 3, 2026

Works about 2% of the time, literally just doesn't crop things, if I wanted to take normal pictures I'd just take pictures

★☆☆☆☆ 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Outdated app for the AI era.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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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
