Great Photo Scanner

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.

Developer Response
Thanks for the detailed feedback. Puzzled about the 'memory limitations' bit. The app has no such limit, and you can scan/save thousands of photos (The only limitation is the free space available on your iPhone or iPad). Please email us so we can help resolve this.

Photo scanning made easy and great quality

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.

The best photo scanning app by far!

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! 😀

It’s okay (you get what you pay for)

I've been looking for a reasonably priced app that will allow me to scan and restore old pictures. I read reviews about many different apps and decided to risk $7.99 on this one. After playing around with it for a while, I have to say that I am disappointed in the results. The app works okay when it comes to scanning, but it didn't do anything to help restore pictures that have become discolored. You are provided with some editing tools, but despite much effort, I was not successful in using them to suitably correct the discoloration in the old photos that I had scanned. There is no RGB adjustment tool to tweak the color, only settings to change things like picture warmth, tint, brilliance and saturation. I downloaded and played around with another app called Photomyne and it did a fantastic job of automatically restoring my discolored pictures during the scanning process. In my opinion it's much better suited for scanning old photographs, but only if you're prepared to spend $40/year to subscribe to the full unlimited version. Unless you're scanning a bunch of pictures, that's a steep price to pay.
