  • Amazing app!

    I usually don’t write reviews, especially app reviews. If the app isn’t the best I just delete it. HOWEVER, this app is absolutely incredible. It blows my adobe scan app out of the water, PLUS no subscriptions and data collection like those other companies. Good job, developers and staff, you won me over!

  • Needs Auto save option for document scans

    I’m a little disappointed when scanning documents, even though I take them, I don’t know where to find the files of the scans if I have missed the step to save them to a location, hence I lose hours of work, by a simple mistake. Surely you should be able to take them then they save to your gallery, or to your iCloud folder, please add this auto location saving option to the settings page of the App.

  • 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

    Feature request can you add a dedicated folder in camera roll so that when you export an image they will be organized in there.. for example the way Luma fusion exports a video to camera roll in its own folder
  • Document scanner is a bit of an afterthought

    As far as I can tell, the document scanner is just a wrapper of the built-in Files/Notes scanner feature, which isn’t that great. I had some more specific criticisms, but I left them in an email to the developer since they’re mostly related to this fact.

    I’m sure it’s nice for scanning objects, but for documents there’s little point to this app. It might add an OCR text layer, which iOS doesn’t do, but I would still recommend Scanner Pro for mobile document scanning for the moment, despite this app’s better privacy policy, payment model, and adherence to iOS norms.

  • Great! Grab text from anywhere.

    When I read books and articles, I highlight interesting things which I sometimes refer to in material I write. This is the easiest way I’ve found to do that. I can’t believe how quickly and accurately it extracts text! Just what I’ve been needing. If I can dream for a second, a feature I’d love to see is the ability to input part of the title of a book, etc. which would become the first part of a file name to be used until I change or delete it and then be able to input a page number, etc. before storing the file which would become the last part of the file name. It would also be nice to optionally, automatically, make this last part an incrementing number. But it’s still great the way it is.

  • Great for the value

    It’s very easy to scan items and files and export them to files. A must have for work and school
  • Stopped working after purchase

    The app worked well enough that I went and paid for the full version. As soon as my purchase was complete, though, the app stopped working. It won’t save scans (it gives an error that says something like “image not created,” and it says “no text identified” or something like that when I try to capture plain-as-day black-and-white text in a book with no images and no fancy formatting. The app *will* take pictures and add them to my camera roll, but I don’t need to spend $5 for something that duplicates a function that’s already baked right into the OS. Sadly, I’ll be requesting a refund.

  • Excellent App

    Works extremely well, it’s a must have app and adds great functionality to an iPhone or iPad. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. The best part - Data Not Collected, I wish more developers did the same.

    Edit: downgraded due to the way you choose which function you want to use. The selection button is the worst out of any app I have used. It is terrible, difficult to use and needs to be changed.

  • Great App

    If you want to just send an object or person without the cluttered background, this app is perfect for you.
  • Phenomenal app!

    Wow. Scan Thing is truly impressive. Give it a go and you’ll see what I mean.

    One minor suggestion: Allow us to easily crop away blank space from a scanned object. Other than that, no complaints.

    Thank you!
