  • Absolutely Brilliant

    Three sections

    (1) The app itself
    This has replaced scanner pro for general use. It’s faster and more intuitive. Great job!
    (2) The developer
    Highly responsive to questions and thus, great customer experience (NPS=10).
    (3) Continuous improvements based on feedback
    I have no doubt that this app will become better and better with time.

    Conclusion
    If you haven’t tried this, then please give it a go... it will save you time (and money) and that’s only if you use it to scan documents! The other features are a class into themselves.

  • Wonderful App!

    I purchased the app immediately after using up the 10 or so free scans.
    Brilliant results from a utility app that’s easy and fun to use. You can indeed scan anything, I even scanned my cat as she sat still on the mat!
    The only improvement that I would wish for is to have an on screen grid, to frame objects and line up text, that can be switched on or off in the app’s settings.

  • One of the best Apps

    This app is Amazing. I can take a picture of an object no longer have to get rid of the background in photoshop
  • So cool!

    I usually need to scan a lot of documents and permission slips for school. This app makes it so easy to scan and send straight to my teachers. My favorite feature is the text scanner.

    I have ADHD, so I need to keep notes everywhere so I don't forget stuff. With the text scanner, I can scan and copy text from hand-written sticky notes directly into my notes on my phone, which then syncs to all my other devices. Thank you for this awesome app!

  • Pretty Good

    The Object scanning is the best around. However, the scanning of actual pages is nowhere near as good as other apps that are the same price (as the unlimited version of scan things). If the scanning of paperwork part of the app (the most important part) was improved, this would be a 5 star app because the object scanning deserves 5 stars. However, you can’t be lackluster on the most important function of a scanner app.

  • Great but......

    The app is great for doing what it claims but one more action is needed. In object mode it needs to create not only a solid white background but a clear background to so that the image can be place over a selected background and look part of that scene. Others, congratulations.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the review! Regarding the white background: Scan Thing exports images as PNG files with transparent backgrounds. The white / black background you might notice when viewing the image in the Photos app is simply what iOS puts behind transparent images and depends on whether your device is in Light or Dark Mode. Hope that helps!
  • Great developer

    I was very intrigued by other apps with the same capabilities, but privacy concerns kept me from using them. This developer doesn’t need to take my data, and it looks like everything happens in my device. I love that, and that’s why I’m willing to pay for, and recommend this app.
  • Blows every other scan app outta the water!

    Amazing doesn’t begin to describe this app. I’ve used at least a dozen different scanning apps and they all seem prehistoric compared to this. It simple. It’s POWERFUL. Best of all, it’s cheap...like really cheap...for what you get. All that with no collecting or selling user data.

    I never write reviews but this one deserves not only a great review, but a thanks to the dev. Thanks dev!

  • Works Awesome!

    Downloaded the app and was blown away! It was so easy and worked great! I do not purchase many apps personally but I purchased the unlocked version because I wanted to support the developers....... It's that good.
  • Much better than clipdrop

    At a lot cheaper price too! My area has spotty signal, so clipdrop doesn't always work, with this app i don't have to worry about my phone signal
