PhotoScan by Google Photos - Latest Quality Issues

I simply don't have the patience for this app, it's a great idea but the process is too slow. I have hundreds of photos to scan, I'd be dead before I finished.

Tried to scan sample with the straight geometric lines. Result was lower quality (got distortion) than just one simple photo. For personal photos always better use hardware scanner. This app maybe only useful in photo goods in stores.

Cannot share multiple photos at once
Photos cannot be shared in bulk, e.g. moved to iphone photos or folders. You can only share one photo, but the app will add the ad text below the photo. That's a shame, otherwise the scans are good. It doesn't connect to Google Photos.

Overly complicated process to see images in my phone's photo gallery. Scanned images don't show up when I connect my phone to my laptop to transfer them.

horrible. can't send multiple images, there is a watermark and white frame ON THE IMAGE and there is no option to remove it. you need to connect 4 dots on the screen to capture the whole page. even after that it fails. samsung can do it in one shot. CamScanner has been able to do that since the caveman age. basically it takes 5 times more time to capture an image which you can't use anywhere. the only option there is to delete the image. horrible horrible horrible. uninstall.

Good for Google Photos users
Good at quickly capturing printed photos to digitize them. Isn't great at filtering out glossy reflections. Optimal lighting angle is required. Bad: Won't let you save to Apple's Photos app for quick retouching before storing in Apple's cloud. Hasn't been updated in 2 years. It's a tool for Google to drive $ towards Google Photos cloud storage money making.

Its a Google product! It is not worth having as anything to do with pictures if it takes 5 or more pictures just to make one. useless and not worth having. I'm a Google user.
