Leave a Review Scan Thing
Excellent
I do a lot of small product photography this app is great just pop the item on any background and it removes the surrounding image leaving a clean image, occasional freeze up and now and then I do need to move position as not all the image is there but those are minor issues. I have not tried the text option yet. Update:- Still a good app but buggy, often I’ll press scan object and the icon in the centre just keeps spinning constantly or freezes i have to close the app then re-start this happens often. I have reported the bug but no response from developer. Update - The scan thing is buggy it will often just whirr around do nothing the app is ok when working but I spend more time closing it reopening it, sadly support do not respond I’m downgrading review to don’t buy it. 3 years and no updates to fix the issues no response to emails the developer isn’t bothered. Don’t bother getting this app.Show lessSubmariner1974
5 stars until 3 days ago
This app has literally been the photographer behind my Ecom business for years until it started crashing on open about three days ago. It wasn’t until I went to the App Store to check to see if I just needed to update the app that I realized this hasn’t been updated in 3 years… yet it’s owned by Weebly so I can’t imagine this is actual abandonware?
It’s been worth every penny and would happily pay for another in-app purchase just to have someone fix whatever’s causing the crash - is anyone out there? Really wish I could tag or @ weebly atm but alas hoping someone reads thisShow lessRoom_Service
Best scanner so far
Scanner apps were amongst my first purchases on buying iPads when they were first released. The apps - even now - range from adequate to embarrassing. If you want ultimate control of scans - and the increase in time required for even the simplest scan - then look elsewhere.
However, I have never owned an app that scans more accurately and the speed, particularly for multi-page documents, is second to none. I use Scan Thing because it is reliable and efficient. It’s automatic processing beats what I manage in other, more complex, scanning apps 99% of the time and the finished PDF requires no separate compression, this is also handled automatically.
If you need to adapt for severe page distortion, then you may need a second app, otherwise Scan Thing just quietly gets on with producing top rate scans quickly and effectively. Having tried well over 20 apps over the years, this is my favourite scanner app.Show lessDr Ric
Terrific App!
Fabulous app! However I wish it didn’t require you pay after a certain amounts of scanstaylormcmanus37385829
I do all my scanning with it
Often have to email receipts or copies of documents, scan things perfectly serves this purpose.Armre
Simple!
But works just great. Forget messing with Photoshop for simple object scans as this does a superb job.NOTL_MHH
I would love to love this
But photos scan with contrast way too high, it crashes sometimes when I tap to take a shot, there is o photo scan setting only objects, people or text, and I cannot tell it where to save photos. It moves them somewhere. The o c r is great.Doctor.Whom
Can’t recommend without fixes
While it does a good job when you’ve got it set correctly I can’t recommend and won’t purchase without two fixes:
One you can’t default to scanning documents. I see no way to change it and it always defaults to objects. Can’t find a way to default the save folder either.
Most importantly though adjusting the scan and or crop is impossible. They display the magnified view of what you are adjusting under your finger instead of offset like every other scan app I’ve used. Perhaps they need to look at others for inspiration. I can never see what I’m cropping and it is necessary frequently so I just won’t use it at all.
It is however fast and seems accurate but the friction in daily use is just too much for me.Show lessXenoChron
A little manual control would be nice
This app is nearly very good at clipping objects on the fly or from photos, except it often leaves a bit behind, the cause, simply because the missing piece is tonally different to the rest of the object. The app also does the opposite and ads pieces that are not part of the object because it buts up against and is tonally the same as the object. I feel that a little bit of manual control of the clipping process would be a great help to an otherwise excellent app. It’s not always possible to have the object surrounded with a neutral background. Something to think about for a fourth coming update perhaps.Show lessScrapyardGuitar
Great app
I use this app for work, for fun, and a side gig. I just wish there was an option to add a background. It’s not a big deal, and maybe I’m missing it somewhere. For the price you can’t get everything included separately or in a single app that I have found. Just the text scan alone is a time saver for me. I’ve tested others and they usually miss text in books, I’ve only had that problem once in this app and it was probably user error anyway.Show lessfratellofive
