User reviews
The app works just fine and does not require any infomation than a multiple choice pop-up to choose a language every time you want to scan. This is very annoying as it should be a time default setting with option to change later. It shouldn't ask you every single time what language.

I select an image, full English it loads shows an image cropped for one second then goes back to the home screen. I tried multiple times with multiple images and this happens with every image.

Edit: AND MR. MOHAIMEN (Egypt) BLOCKS YOU, if you try to get support via WhatsApp. Worked great from since the beginning, using daily. But after the last two updates it is missing from the shareable apps list that shows after any screenshot. It is NOT shareable anymore, even with ALL permissions given - NO permissions denied. Cannot send any picture to it (???). All my previous OCRed screens with their OCR texts are missing, cannot access them (??? bofi). DO NOT download this. Uninstalling.
