★★★★★ Todd Gless · Jul 2, 2026
Easy to use, works like it was designed for.
★★★★☆ Sergio Alberto Romero · Oct 13, 2026
Love this app, but it belongs baked into the Google Photos App rather than being standalone.
★★★★★ 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
★★★★★ John Sansevere · Jul 27, 2026
I like this app because it's better than using your phone's camera to scan old paper photos.
★★☆☆☆ Kenlee Brown · Jun 14, 2026
App won't allow me to slide Circle over dots. Worthless for scanning
★☆☆☆☆ Chris Lewoniuk · Jun 28, 2026
Shows Scanned by Google Photos on every picture and needs to be cropped out. Useless
★☆☆☆☆ Ainia Rizwan · Oct 31, 2026
very, very bad experience 😕 this is a normal camera 📸
★☆☆☆☆ Tommy Lee Hendrix · Sep 28, 2026
Once Google quits cowering to Trump I'll reinstate my original review.
★☆☆☆☆ 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
★☆☆☆☆ Jesse de gans · Jun 28, 2026
What happened to this app? Suddenly it creates glares all over
