리뷰가 말하는 불만
경쟁앱 리뷰 66개에서 추출
- “Only 5 scans a day?! Then $60 a year?! Stupid!! Don't waste your time”
- “$5.99 a month?!? Are you out of your mind? JUST LET ME BUY THE APP OUT RIGHT!”
- “Unless you want to pay an exorbitant subscription rate, this app will greatly disappoint you”
- “I'd pay, but not $60/year. I'd pay maybe $10/yr”
Ship a one-time purchase or a genuinely usable free tier. The loudest complaint by far is the subscription and the 5-scans-a-day gate, not the feature itself.
- “Why am I still seeing ads when on premium? When I'm already paying, why should I still be shown ads?”
- “The app work good but there are LOTS of adds”
No ads at all, ever, is a clean differentiator since rivals show ads even after the user pays for premium.
- “When you use the recognize text it misses a lot of letters in the words”
- “It doesn't recognize hand written text properly”
- “Text scanned isn't even close to what is written, I scanned printed text”
Apple Vision handles clean printed and screenshot text well. Set honest expectations on handwriting and cursive instead of overpromising, since broken promises here drive 1-star reviews.
- “The app force closes after I do everything, then I have to go back into the app to get the text”
- “It turns the photo on its side and then just hangs”
A simple, reliable import to text to copy flow beats a feature-heavy but crashy one. Stability on the core path is the bar.
- “Very misleading. They try to get your credit card to sell you other stuff”
- “Doesn't work at all, maybe this is just a scam to steal your photos?”
On-device processing with no account and no card prompt is a real trust angle. Say plainly that photos never leave the phone.
1인이 만들 수 있나
개발 난이도와 리스크를 분해
Buildable. The core job runs fully on-device with Apple Vision OCR, so no server and the extract-to-copy core is a weekend. The headline competition reads high, but that number is inflated by text-on-photo editors (Phonto 120k, Typorama 115k, Add Text 65k reviews) that share the keyword without doing OCR. The on-target rivals, Copy Text On Screen at 4.8k and Text Capture at 2.7k, are smaller and beatable, and half the top results are stale (Typorama 2022, Color Cap 2015). Building is the easy part. Monetization and Live Text are the hard part.
만든다면, 이렇게
1페이지 기획서 (출발점, 정답 아님)
Pick a screenshot or photo, get clean copyable text on-device, no ads and no daily limit.
Students and everyday people copying text from screenshots, recipes, documents, and foreign-language posts who got burned by subscription OCR apps.
Existing OCR apps work but gate basic use behind a 5-scans-a-day limit, a $60-a-year subscription, and ads that show even after you pay.
- ·Import from photo library or the share sheet, run on-device Vision OCR, show the result as editable text
- ·One-tap copy and select-all, with inline editing before copy
- ·No daily scan limit and no ads
- ✕Built-in translation, since the system and Google Translate already cover it and reviews treat it as a nice-to-have
- ✕Accounts and cloud sync, which add the trust and card friction users complain about
- ✕Any subscription paywall
A share extension that takes a screenshot, runs Vision OCR, and drops editable text on screen with a copy button. One weekend.
One-time unlock or a free app with a small optional purchase for batch or history. Avoid subscriptions and ads, the exact things driving rivals' 1-star reviews. Be honest with yourself: monetization is the weak point here.
솔직한 경고
이 기회의 가장 큰 함정
The job is already free in iOS Live Text, and the only monetization proven to work for rivals is the subscription-plus-ads model these reviews show users hate, so the app is easy to build but hard to make money on.
