First and foremost the customer support provided for this app is outstanding. I was tackling a big project, and got great tips and guidance through the process. If you are looking to scan old photos quickly and easily with excellent editing options, this is the app for you. It is not, however, the best for putting together slideshows or albums. The limitation of 24 photos maximum is more of a nod to that need, and does not accommodate more than a small project. I chose to scan all the photos I needed, and then exported them to iPhoto to create a slideshow there. There are, of course, other apps you can use for that purpose as well. Also, given the memory limitations of the app, I could only scan about 100 photos before needing to delete photos to be able to scan more. Over all, mission accomplished, and PicScanner was a key element to successful completion.

In this day and age good tech service and/or customer service is unheard of. However these folks are absolutely the best. I have been using PSG for about 3 weeks as time has permitted. I had an issue with the remote shutter functionality and after them giving me suggestions and going through various settings and replacing the battery it is now working. Not exactly sure what the problem was but it is resolved. I sent a message at 1845 one evening and I got a reply at 0335 the next morning. As for the product itself it does exactly what it says it is supposed to do. I highly recommend reading the User Guide and also the many tips and tricks. It will save a lot of time and frustration if you do. I’m an old IT guy and I just waded in but I soon found out why the guide is there. After a short learning curve I was able to use a lot of the many functions the app provides with very good results on photos from 1920 to date. The cropping function was near perfect( tips and tricks) and the resolution quality is also very good. It does scan up to 4 photos at a time but as should be expected the resolution drops. I’ve done a few hundred scans and transferred to my PC. Also like being able to add desired text to the photos. I have flatbed scanner but this is much quicker by doing everything from within the app. Lots of functional tools. Overall this is a very good app and especially for the measly $7.99 one time cost. If you are looking for a photo scanner app that is easy to use and get great results you should be happy as I am with this app. AND the best tech support in the business. Dave

As with many is that started taking photos before the digital age, I’ve been looking for the right method to digitize my old photos for archive purposes and to enjoy them with digital collection. I considered photo scanning services (worried about privacy, quality and the prospect of loss), using a flatbed scanner (much slower, not significantly better, and needs special, more expensive software). This led me to using my iPhone (11). Simply taking photos of photos was cumbersome and not high quality. I then started reviewing AppStore apps. After trying a few, I happened across Pic Scanner Gold. It provides high quality results (improving low quality old photos significantly), doesn’t require long-term commitment (ie subscription), and a host of additional tools that are useful to work with my photos. Also, the help guides are extremely useful and practical to get the best results possible. As with any app, I have a few suggestions for improvement (eg HEIC format support) but the pros far, far exceed the cons. Additionally, technical support is both helpful and very responsive. In short, app is highly recommended if you need a quality and practical solution to migrate your photos.

Like other reviewers I’ve tried just about every photo scanning app there is. This is hands down the best one out there! I’ve scanned hundreds of my personal family photos (ones dating back 100+ years ago) and have done some for my genealogical clients. Once I got used to working with the app, they’ve all turned out beautifully. I used to work in the collections management department of several museums and the scans I’ve gotten with this app are just about as good as the scans I’ve had using professional scanners. A lot of the other apps screwed with the color of the photo and the images would turn out warped. It was also hard to get a clear scan. With this one all you’ve got to do is scan it on a flat white surface from above. A word of advice, make sure you hold it still even after you’ve hit the button. Also make sure you’ve got your elbows planted firmly so you don’t shake your hands.If you have a lot of old (or not so old!) family photos you want to keep digitally keep forever, please skip the rest of the apps and download this one now! 😀
