As others described, cropping and curled negatives are a difficult to manage - a 2nd pass in an editor to crop, color. Worst part is mobile - PC interface. Many times shots show on mobile, but desktop msg is "no photos available". I gave this a 50 strip test - just to glitchy to do more. I can almost live with low quality photos, but the time it takes to redo and keep track is a deal-buster for me.

1. It crops wildly. Why do software companies pad their apps with incomplete or marginally working features? 2. Can't scan so the image fills the frame. It fills less than a quarter of the available space with the negative. 3. Not all negatives are straight strips. Many came off rolls, so they are curled. No guidance on scanning curled negatives. 4. I got more help from reading negative reviews than the faqs. 5. Picture quality is poor. 6. Don't waste your time. 7. Deleting this app

I'll give it two stars since it seems to work for other people but the interface, the demo, the tutorials, the icons, even the sample videos/pictures, are identical to some other apps here that don't work for me so I'm not shocked to find this one fails as well. Every time I try to open a negative I already have scanned, it just plays the tutorial yet again
