Ratings and Reviews
very responsive "gentlemanly" developer
My initial experience was poor, but I contacted the developer, and he kindly gave me a lifetime subscription to get past a bug which caused the app to consider my 7-day trial expired before I even got to try it the morning after downloading it.
The app is straightforward to use, and very handy if you have a need to convert text images to OCR. I am for now giving it a 4 star rating on the hope that the bug will be addressed, and that he won't go broke giving away free licenses.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the review - in version 1.0.3, I have fixed the bug for expiration and also added a new free trial option - there is no time limit on this new trial and no subscription required to get started.

And from a developer that actually listens to its customers.
What a great feature to have on an iPhone or iPad.… and extra points for originality.
As with many things in life, reward the innovators, not the imitators.
