Maybe because it's my first try but circle could not be dragged over dots. Take a photo from each dot? Terrible photo jumping around all over the place. Won't save to pdf or Google drive. Automatically saves to Google photos. Won't open in Gmail as a jpg or pdf. Had to click on download button in gmail otherwise it won't open. Regular camera much better all around. Deleting.

First time use was okay. Then it began not get the scan. You have to move the phone to the four circles to complete the scan. An you only have about 30-40 seconds to do. Which is difficult since your not supposed to tilt the phone. Was unable to find any settings to increase the time frame or adjust the scan time. I am looking for another app that is easier to use.

✅ Confirmed Photos and app by Google Photos. Very simple, user-friendly, with animated tutorial. You can rotate and adjust corners in the app after you PhotoScan as well as use the handy dandy share option. I PhotoScan blueprints into digital form that I can email. I PhotoScan my prescriptions for my Insurance. I PhotoScan pictures I want to save. It comes out crystal clear using Pixel cameras. Be sure to check the picture every time and if the glare isn't gone just PhotoScan it again.

Descent, but seems to have major issues detecting the edges properly thus requiring manual fine tuning for every picture which quickly becomes tiring and time consuming. It would also be nice if they added functionality to optimize contrast, ... to help improve the images where possible. But for a free app, it's okay.

I am amazed by using this app, Best for PDFs , But the main problem I encountered is that We cannot upload photos straight from the gallery and yes I do understand about that circle and dot system. But, I have to make atleast a 25 pages PDF every week as we all are working from home. Its time comsuming from laptop so I thought to use mobile, and This app is awsome for PDFs... I kindly request Google LLC to have a view on my post and solve this problem. Otherwise, No problem at all! Amazing😊

The quality of the images has been degraded wrt a normal picture from the camera. Would like to also see more improvements where air bubbles on photos stored in a hard Bound copy are removed algorithmically. The integration with Google photos is not obvious. Having additional filters for allowing sharpening of images would be better.
