Version 1.7.1.539739820
cross_platform_consistencyMaybe it's a quirk of my phone, but I always have a HUGE amount of glare in every single scan. The results are 100% useless. Also, the step where you have to "move" something to four circles seems as unnecessary as it is cumbersome. It doesn't appear to serve any purpose at all. This was the only free scanning app I could find that doesn't demand access to info it couldn't possibly need. I'll be sticking with my laptop and scanner.

social_and_communityWorks pretty well. Not a replacement for a printer/scanner, but if you can place a photo in bright light (don't use flash!), without too large an area of glare, you can make a pretty nice, quick scan of a photo anywhere you happen to be. Nice for dropping in on relatives and looking through the family album. Might take one or two tries to eliminate glare and haze.

localizationApp is incredibly basic and incomplete. First, realize that the quality of the scans are barely acceptable by today's standards! I get lots of blur and double-vision effects. I get better output from a regular camera photo. I'm using a Google Pixel 3, so go figure. As for the basics: After scanning, there is no photo adjustment. No brightness, no color, no rotation. There's no way to LABEL THE PHOTOS!? No way to organize them in folders!? No way to choose storage location/card. This seems half-baked at best.
