Essential app
Wouldn't be without this handy app. Does what it says on the tin: scans photos for text & accurately converts to text with a most effective OCR feature.
2015-02-28
Useless
Waste of money. Results are gibberish.
2015-01-28
Not Working Anymore
It was work perfectly while I am reading to scan and keep it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work now. Why?
2015-01-08
Junk - waste of money
Zero Stars - complete junk. Do not waste your money on this.

Abuses push notifications, terrible performance
Has some of the worst scrolling performance I've ever seen. I have 11 saved items and scrolling is ridiculously choppy. OCR works well but the app is horrible.
Also sends you push notifications to buy the developers other apps, falsely advertised as gifts

Rubbish!
Just purchased this app for use on iPad mini ..looked through the opening information pages and then took photo of sample text.
Result - the whole thing just locked up and would not work! ... What gives?.

Great app that requires improvement
This app has a brilliant concept behind it and it has and could be very useful. I app is great as I say but it needs improvement and optimisations in every aspect of the application whether it be the long load times, not being able to rotate photos in app, occasionally sluggish, not being able to load or queue multiple photos, and a user interface where a few improvements would be very beneficial. This app has great potential if changes like these are made.

Crashes
:/

Crashes constantly
When you can get this app to work, it's great. Most of the time it crashes, though.
It crashes when you open it.
It crashes when you open the camera.
It crashes when you take a picture.
It crashes when you scan the text.
It crashes when you edit the text.
It crashes when you open previously saved files.
It crashes ALL. THE. TIME.
But the seventh time you try, and it works by some miracle, it is handy.
Persistence and obstinance is key. And luck. And the magic touch.

OCR in my pocket....PERFECT
I had tried several OCR Apps on my iPhone 4S previously with disappointing results however since purchasing Pixter I have never looked back. Simple to use, in formatted text, fast and extremely accurate. Well done.
2013-12-05
Works really well!
Interface is a bit crude, but the OCR works very effectively.
2013-11-12
i will test
not very responsive on ipad mini
2013-11-02
Awesome
I don't normally review stuff but this app if fantastic. Fully worth the $3
2013-10-07
Nice app, but...
Seems to work well. But needs to handle situation where NOT connected to network. Whilst you do say in the app description that it requires network connection, I was initially unaware of this and trying repeatedly and app appeared to work but then would just lock up. So, needs to report absence of network connection to user. Also, I wanted to scan English, not American as indicated by the language flag icon.

Great app
This is a great app, it's really useful

Old retired fella
Have a previous OCR app which was not all that satisfactory - will replace it with Pixster! Results are amazing!
2013-09-18
Excellent
Really nicely designed app, works well
2013-09-17
Simple and accurate. Exactly what I wanted
Gives you unformatted text. No paragraph breaks.
2013-09-16
Awesome
Sometimes gets it slightly wrong, but that's my fault! (Bad lighting)
Otherwise, amazing! Must have

Awesome utility
This app is the perfect tool for document duplication or backup, or if you need to extract text from pictures. Works very well with a smooth, easy to use interface. I deducted one star because on my 4S it can be a memory hog with slow downs and occasional crashes, but with newer phones you should have no problems. Overall great app and makes life way easier :)

The best OCR App I have found
For mobiles, this app is perfect accessing your photos (or screen shoots) in addition to decoding new photos.
