Sorry man, I wanted to give this tool a real good try, but I could never get it to detect the correct value on any resistor. I tried various white balance settings, brightness, etc. Nothing worked. Most of the time, the main problem is that it never detects a brown band properly. It always reads it as black. I tried different backgrounds as well, and also tried both 5% resistors (beige body) and 1% resistors (blue body). Also tried manual specifying the number of rings. I love that you tried.

Great idea. I really wanted this one to work but after trying with a number of different samples it failed to decode any of them correctly. Tried on two different devices with the same results on both. Reading some of the other reviews suggests results may improve with a higher end device but we have to work with what we have. Will be sure to revisit when I next upgrade my phone.

This resistor scanner did a great job, it can even scan multiple resistors at once with high accuracy, wish I can post screenshots in this review. For those who haven't succeed using this app try to lessen the glare on the resistors and make sure you have a good focus, no need to take a big resistor foto, just take the best focus that you can. I never write app reviews unless they are really good or really worse. And this one is a great app.
