Leave a Review CamScanner
One of the worst apps
This app seemed to work ok at first, but after a while not matte what I do or what settings I change the camera is rotated and if I rotate my iPad it doesn’t correct. It’s so out of whack and nothing else on my device is funky like this, only this app. I wonder if it’s not made well for an iPad, but it worked okay at first. It’s kind of a pain to send the documents to yourself because even though I change the scanned items to PDFs it still says they are too large for my gmail, so I had to upload them to a separate platform and then email them to myself which is an extra step I shouldn’t have to do. Also the scan screen when using the iPad is mostly black and the scanned item is only about the size of a phone, which seems to confirm my suspicion that it’s made for phones and not iPad. I want to use my because it’s better overall. Overall, it’s just more of a pain than it’s worth, I hope to find a better app.Show lessLhepp23

Hello, would you please report to us as follows so we can look into the problem: open the CS app--Me--More settings--Suggestion and feedback--describe your problem and attach some screenshots--enter your email address--tap "submit". Thank youAbsolutely worth the price
One might think that, since I only scan about 20 pages per year, the price of this app wouldn’t be worth it. Although the cost is at the upper limit of what I’m willing to pay, I still think it is worth the cost of admission because I know I can make great scans with my phone camera.
This app is feature-rich. A few of my favorite functions include the ability to stretch and straighten the wonky images that can result from photographing wrinkled pages or pages that are photographed on unlevel surfaces. The ability to remove shadows is probably the best feature in my opinion.
I recommend CamScanner for anyone who wants to make great quality scans in even subpar conditions.Show lessItalianRoastYummmm
Very useful and restores faded and illegible documents
Very happy with CamScanner. I have been using since 2015. My 94 year old Aunt had just passed away at 2am. She purchased her mortuary and cemetery policy in 1960, it was fully paid for. The contract was on NCR paper, faded and illegible. I called the mortuary to have them come pick her up and was told they did not have any record of her contract because age of documents and mergers and many moves. They would not be coming over to the house. This was a well know and very large mortuary.
I used my Cam Scanner app to scan the contract and other documents, which were made very clear, then emailed to them. Because of Cam Scanner, a very sad, stressful time of my life was made easier to get through.
I highly recommend for personal and business.Show lessScruffyLee
Very Disappointed, PDF Saving and Sharing Too Difficult
This seemed like a great app and easy to use. However after scanning my document, I couldn’t save or upload it anywhere. Unclear instructions on how to set email up in order to email it to myself. Also I keep seeing their response to others that they “use the email app on your phone” as though that is an excuse. I don’t use the email app on my phone and have no desire to. I use the Gmail app. All other apps I use that have an email feature let me send emails using the Gmail app. It’s absolutely ridiculous this app doesn’t. I tried saving to an album and it saved all 11 pages as separate photos on my phone. I could have just taken pictures if that’s what I wanted. Finally, it seemed easy to upload the file to google drive, but the permissions were fishy. I don’t want to give this app permission to see all my Google drive files (edit and delete them) just to get the PDF into a saved place where I can actually use it. Completely frustrated.Show lessnew updates are frustrating

Email icon in the CS is supported by iPhone Mail app. If you use Gmail app instead of iPhone Mail app, you can share docs to Gmail app: open/select docs in CS--Share--Share PDF--tap Gmail app. Before that, make sure your Gmail app can send emails normally. CS only delivers docs to Gmail app and then the next e-mail sending process will be completed by Gmail app. ThanksNo easy way to unsubscribe
This app does a good job for a camera-based scanner. If you do a lot of document scans and can justify the purchase and subscription, then this might just be one of your core apps.
However, the deal-breaker is no easy way to cancel the subscription.
I was really surprised that Apple allows this app to exist in their store without a simple option to cancel. A quick search through websites that instruct how to cancel are dead ends. The developer’s site shows all the bells and whistles, but doesn’t inform about unsubscribing. If I had the option to cancel and resubscribe, then I might feel differently; however, no option to unsubscribe just turned this app into a no-go. I don’t care how good it is, if I can’t get rid of it when I don’t want it any more, then I don’t want it at all. Buyer beware.Show lessChim-Slance
The Best Free Mobile App to Scan + More in the App Store
I have used for 3 or 4 years and i love ❤️ how userfriendly the App is to take a picture, of any document that you want to have saved for ease of accessing during an yemergencies or if you’re pressed for time. I recommend our friends and family download the free app. You can take a picture and crop it and name it and save it. I use the free version currently although before the pandemic, I was able to afford the premium version which screws the watermark plus a few other features that you can read about in the App Store, I do not leave many reviews although this is one of my go to apps to save any receipts from hotels and business expenses, I like to open the app it loads quickly on the iPhone and take a snapshot photograph of one or multiple pages. I recommend all friends and family use this app.Show lesswildCliff
Useful
When I was a student I used to have a Huawei and I got this app I found it very helpful for everything, very organized I could have my documents sorted as I wanted, and the pdf versions were easy to find and share by WhatsApp, e-mail, messenger, and other apps, you can get done a pdf in seconds I used to submit homework in a couple of minutes. I have read many negative comments about this app, but in my personal opinion, it’s great and useful, easy to use and quick and that’s what we need in real life even when you want to change the file size It's very easy. I have an iPhone now and I am downloading it again because I rather the way this app organizes the information after your scan. I highly recommend this app.Show lessEllen Swallow
Excellent tool, supportive devs.
I’ve been using this App for over 6 years. I’ve handed in hundreds of homework submissions over the years using this app. With each update, the UI became more minimalistic, and some buttons disappeared or were remapped. If you’re a long-time user like me, there may be a lot of frustrating confusion as to where some functions went after every update. This actually made me post a negative review as I couldn’t find so many functions I relied on for years many updates ago.
Fortunately the dev team contacted me and explained where everything is. It seems a lot of editing functions became hidden behind the misleading “Sign” button. Try it! It does way more than just signing. Changing my review back to 5 star. Quality hasn’t changed so far, just layout and design.Show lessCeeToTheZee

Hi, you can open the doc in app->open image->click bottom "Modify" or "Sign" icon to find "Smudge tools". To adjust contrast, please tap the enhance moce again when you select an enhance mode and then you will find "Contrast", "Brightness", "Details" icons on the popup window. These features are still free. As for the scan mode, which mode are you referring to? Can you send us a screenshot at isupport@camscanner.com?This app messes with other apps function.
I downloaded this app to scan some documents and then like an hour later- messenger wouldn’t open, I couldn’t download google drive, Pokémon Go was no longer supported on my iPhone. I also couldn’t see a picture of my screenshots in the photo gallery. While it did it’s job of scanning it was complicated to get it to save to my phone/google drive when I couldn’t download google drive to access the files. Also the app asked for feedback when I had only used the app for two minutes which was very annoying because I haven’t used the app very long to give accurate feedback. I don’t recommend if the app is going to mess with others apps I would use more frequently.Show lessFedbackq

“How likely are you to recommend CamScanner to a colleague?”
Not. My “colleagues” and I don’t talk about freaking CamScanner. What do you think I am, a printer?
Now, that being said, I use CamScanner quite often, but I use it only out of necessity. It is a requirement for turning in school assignments. However, using this app is always an extreme inconvenience.
When I first downloaded it, I was automatically on a free premium trial. I was not notified when the period would end, and ultimately the unreasonably astronomical price of this mediocre app was charged to me. I received a refund, but not without great inconvenience.
Speaking of great inconvenience, I have clicked on several ads trying to type this out on the app after it asked me for a review. They are everywhere. Turning in a last second paper? Too late, you have to watch four ads before you’re allowed to take a picture.
I would continue with my lament, but I was in the middle of trying to turn in an assignment when it asked me for this, and I figured since it’s not a time-sensitive assignment, I would give the penny-pinching developers of this hellish app a piece of my mind first.
If you can help it, please do not download this. If you cannot, click it only when you need to, and click it once, because the second click will be an ad or a premium feature.Show lessanonymous booksor
