Disappointment
By James East
First the good: Battery powered portability, LED lighting for long life, good resolution on prints. The enclosed case limits reflections that would normally be seen by just straight coping of prints in the open. Limited ability to hold prints flat during copying.
Six white LED's light up the print, and shine through the slides. A white background ensures good lighting for the slides. Color reproduction is is true.
Reasonable editing provided by the software, but I tend to use the iPhone's standard editor, or occasionally iPhoto as they offer more options.
The bad: the resolution for slides and negatives is disappointing. The slide does not fill the screen and therefore does not take full advantage of the iPhone's excellent optics and pixel count, which was my interest. Also, slides have to be entered one at a time, so the system not for high production work.
I add it to my list of "also ran" slide coping devices. So far, I'm only happy with lens adapters for my SLR.
This is strictly compatible with iPhone 4/4s. Future phone form factors may not be compatible.

Ion ipics 2 GO Photo & slide Scanner for 4/4S phones
By Dan
I just got the scanner "BOX" a couple of days ago. It took longer than the printer to get, but I think it
is the perfect combination to the Cube Printer.(A 2 sided tray on one side is for 3 1/2"x5" other side 4"x6" prints and a carrier for slides and negatives. 2 AA batteries comes in the box.) What you have here is a photo Box that gives your iPhone the ability to photograph 3 1/2"x5" or 4"x6" pictures, or slides and negatives. You put in a 4"x6" photo, then you put your iPhone on top of the unit. You push the button for the light in side the box, put your photo into the tray (Using software you download) and you see it on your phone display. The key they worked out is the distance from iPhone to image, so you don't need to worry about anything not being aligned or movement of your hand when you are shooting your images. The light has a good enough color to make your images look somewhat balanced, but you have the ability to balance them through the software on the iPhone. Right after you shoot and review your shoot you can put the iPhone on the Cube printer and have a picture in less time then it takes me to do on my professional equipment. I don't have to much hope for the slides or negatives looking too good, cause my slide scanner is true resolution of 3800 DPI and it is a pretty good one for small slides and negatives. I don't think the iPhone is that fine up close, but I will review it soon.

Wouldn't reccomend - app hasn't been updated since 9/2012
By Cee Cee
Not worth more than $10. Bought it through Groupon (which was bad choice on it's own) for $16.99 at the end of June. Turns out the app isn't compatible with iOS 7, and hasn't been updated since Sept 2012 - just goes to show how invested Ion is in its own product. Should have checked app info before purchasing. The support site has comments from customers from over a month ago with no resolution in sight. Looks like the product is on its way out.
