Leave a Review Evernote Scannable
Great app, sometimes unreliable
This app is great for scanning documents, however I have had issues with sending the files to my email. It often takes a very long time to send, which is very infuriating. I’ve missed a deadline because the email took over half an hour to send. Now, I have to upload it to google drive to speed things up, and that’s just a lot of unnecessary work to get my PDF to my computer.
Additionally, sometimes the app would reset as if it were my first time using it. I’d have to go through all the instructions on how to use the app, and it’s very stressful to deal with when I’m nearing a deadline.Show lessKrazyMeerkat123
Business card scanning does not work
It’s great for scanning documents. It was my go-to before that became a native iOS feature. But since it’s built in now, I don’t need it for that. The one thing I’d like it to do is scan business cards and extract the data, an advertised feature. However, while it DOES recognize that a scan is a business card (I can tell because the suggested file name is “Business Card”), it does not extract the data and allow me to create a new contact. All I can do is save a scan of a business card. Not very useful. Maybe that feature requires an Evernote account? If so, that should be specified somewhere.
But it is great at scanning documents.Show lessdevburke
The App Is Absolutely Horrible After the Latest Upgrade
was going to save and print. I tried to find a number to find out how to recover the files before it was too late and there is no number to be found and the technical support maze asks be for data that I don’t understand. Customer short should be available by phone or at least via email or text and I shouldn’t have to create some type of data Log to duplicate something I don’t understand. If I knew what happened I may be able to fix it myself.Show lessAlwaystheAnalyst
Excellent App, but Needs more Save Options
I really like this app and use it constantly. From scanning papers that need to be signed and sent somewhere to logging receipts etc etc I definitely get great use from this awesome app.
My only request would be to offer more locations to “save” to. The app gives me the option to save to Evernote or my Picture folder. How about saving to iCloud Drive or Google Drive or my downloads folder now that Apple has made that available. I rarely use Evernote and saving a PDF in my picture folder doesn’t make sense to me. So please add more “save locations.”
Otherwise, really great app that gets a ton of use.Show lessFormer Employee
Where has this been all my life?
I collect social security, but I’m not hopeless with technology—I rid computers of ransomware, swap memory and SIMS cards on laptops and phones—but I’ve never managed to scan a document successfully on a mobile device. This did the work for me, and let’s me know exactly where I’ll be able to find the pages.
To say it’s going to be life changing might sound extreme, but for someone who is paperwork and filing challenged, it will mean hours saved looking through folders, boxes, the trunk of my car, and out of season bags. It will also be handy for all those receipts on which the print fades before the return window closes.Show lesskateon56
The Must-Have Student Scanner
As a student, and especially during remote learning, I find Scannable to be exactly what I need. It works well and efficiently and allows me to give my teachers PDFs made of multiple pages instead of taking a picture of every page. This is the ONLY scanning app I have found on the Store that is able to recognize spiral bound pages. Microsoft Lens, Genius Scan, and others simply cannot ‘find’ the page. As long as there is nothing in the background, Scannable can.
I also love the integration with Evernote and the ability to organize scans so easily. I can go back in my many notebooks and find whatever I’m looking for. Not to mention, you can import Scannable documents from Evernote directly into Google Classroom! What a life saver.
I will ask, however, that the Google Classroom integration be fixed a bit. There is an option to export documents to the app but it is extremely buggy and rarely works. Usually, I have to save the document to my Files from within Evernote and then submit it to Classroom manually. If you could fix up this feature, I’d give 5 stars in a heartbeat!Show lessAnxious&Obsessed
Very useful app on first try
Chose app to scan 6 legal size documents of 4 pages each. Started with learning curve of placement of phone over document. First there is a scan box over the document, when ready picture will be taken and placed in the done box. Sometimes I would note a poor scan. Learned to take multiple scans if the completed scan didn’t look good. After multiple attempts learned there is a way to edit the scans and delete bad scans. Also one can reorder the scans positions. Ultimately emailed 6 completed pdf files to myself and printed them, my main first try goal. This was a little trial and error learning curve. At this time I’m not aware of a help file.Show lessBrianW2012
Best card reader I have found for iPhone
I have experimented with several card reader apps and scannable wins. I use it for scanning other docs now and then, but it’s power is the ability to scan a business card, read it and create a contact record...plus I can go to Evernote and see the scan anytime. It’s great to get someone’s card, scan it and hand it back....people usually appreciate it.
The ‘send my contact info’ feature is a bit wonky and I have not yet been able to make that a permanent part of my workflow....but otherwise this is a fantastic app...and it’s free.Show lessPMO-Sea
This teacher LOVES this app!
This app has changed my life and made what I give to students (1) higher quality and (2) faster to create. I’d estimate that it saves me more than an hour a week, and some weeks much more.
It does a great job scanning a workbook or textbook page and adjusting for the binding... something copy machines are terrible at. Cropping any lingering issues and sending the pdf to myself is downright simple. In a world where students and parents expect every worksheet to be digitized and posted, this is a life saver. It’s powerful AND easy to use - a pairing seldom seen in education circles. =)
Thank you so so much, Scannable team!Show lessCommanderToad

What do you get when you combine an unstable scanning app, 100 pages of source material, and a deceptive “recents” tab that doesn’t do it’s only job?
A recipe for disaster.
Due to my limited access to a local university’s library, I chose to use scannable to secure the source information I would need for a paper I would be writing in the future. Little did I know, scannable offers anything but security. When I returned to the app 20-21 days after scanning the necessary pages, I found that all of my scans had been deleted. Mind you, not one time had I received a warning that these all-important scans would be deleted. Only once they were deleted and I began to dive into the deeper mechanics of the app did I realize that the app contains a “recents” tab. I thought, “Great, they’ll surely be in there. There’s no way this app just deleted my scans out of the blue!”
I was wrong.
The “recents” window claims to save recent scans for 30 days before deleting them. Unexplainably, though, my scans were nowhere to be found after only 20. This horribly unintuitive and deceptive design has now caused me to scramble to find the information I so desperately need, and I may have to spend over a hundred dollars to buy the books I found at the library.
Do NOT use this app.Show lessManbot2020
