  • Best and easiest scanner app, must have for any Evernote user!

    I LOVE this app, it’s ease of use is unmatched! I am a devoted Evernote user and this app helps me stay “paperless” almost effortlessly.
    Evernote - please, please don’t ever discontinue this app unless you replace it with something better!
    One enhancement that would be an incredible gift to us Evernote power users... please allow us to add tags to items as we upload them to Evernote (pretty please) -ie: I like to file medical receipts in a healthcare file but I’d love to be able to tag them as ‘receipts’ (or even ‘receipts’ and ‘tax related’) when I’m uploading them so later I can easily find them more readily by their tag. Also I often tag items as ‘temp’ that I will want to delete down the road and searching by this tag really helps me do regular maintenance on my filing system in a flash!

  • Best scanning app

    I’ve used all the scanning apps and for clarity this is the best. For ease-of-use this is the best. To make this app better it would be nice if you could save directly to your OneDrive or iCloud. I paid the fee for Evernote and Scannable for a year I thought it would open the ability to save to OneDrive, but this is the drawback that I found. I’d like to be able to scan & save directly to one of my cloud services. I usually email it to myself and then Open the PDF with adobe then save it to one of my drives. It would be nice if I didn’t have to do that. However, it’s still the best scanning app out there and I continue to use the free Scannable app. I liked being able to save documents in my Scannable app for more than 30 days, (which when you pay the monthly service fee, you can). However, if I could save it directly to my OneDrive I wouldn’t need to save it in my Scannable app. Add this one thing & I’m a paying customer again. If this is not important for you I highly recommend this app.

  • Scan is good but post scan is confusing and weird.

    Scan quality is good.
    Big issue is that when we have to forward or send the document it takes default previous document name. Who designs such a way! Second if I have to access the recent document there could be simple way to do so from camera scan screen but only thing one can do is to select and delete option. Really? No way to access through app?
    Evernote is the parent company and they are living with such flawed features. I mean when sending someone any scanned doc. It default select all the history document and default previous doc name. Really pls fix it otherwise I would go for scanbot app.
    I know that won’t bother you guys to lose one user and apple wouldn’t show my review to the world.
    But I wish this app could have better posts an design features and weird default all select and name from previous document. Rather put name like scan001 and so on. At least when we forget it won’t go with some weird previous doc name in emails etc. or give a prompt to change the name with highlight. Definitely remove all the default select. You know why because in case I sent default all selected scan in email and reach to someone then can be security issue. I would neither anyone would prefer that!

  • Best ever!

    Can it be any easier to capture all your receipts for an expense report? I think not! Maybe if it could find the receipts I lost for me! This tool has simplified my life 200 fold. Docs get signed and sent, receipts captured so they don’t get lost or run through the wash in my back pockets, plus, I look like a pro doing my expense report while on the road instead of like all the poor shlubs back at the office taping their receipts on paper and waiting en masse for the one working copier/ scanner to get their reports in on time. Be a winner- use scannable! I do and love it. And with all the time I save, I sleep in instead of going in early on Fridays!

  • Magical App

    This really is magic to use. I've used many of the other scanning apps in the App Store and all are so much more difficult to use than this one. I love how it takes the scans without even pressing a button and I also like the option to do things manually. I send everything to Evernote and the integration is so simple. The only thing I wish for is the ability to do my own color correction. Sometimes the app corrects colors on pieces of artwork like it was a text document and that doesn't work for all things. Also, I would like to add tags to the documents before I send them to Evernote. I wrote this review a long time ago and still love the app. I love how automatic it is, but sometimes wish there were more manual options especially when I am scanning something with very light text and I’d like it to be more legible or a photo with glare. There are other scanning apps that can do that and it would be nice if this one could too. Despite that, for most purposes, this is my go to scanning program.

  • Great product, but still some problems

    I honestly like this scanning app a lot; the scans are super fast, the auto detected borders are fairly accurate, and the end product is a great balance between quality and file size.

    That said, there are some problems I’d like to see fixed. I use this app predominantly for scanning books for research, but the app gets overwhelmed and is liable to crash the larger the file size gets. I’ve lost so many scanned books this way. It also stops being able to detect borders as the scanning continues. A simple fix could be to automatically save after a certain number of pages and start a new file. Also, having an adjustable colored border option would remove the need to auto detect borders every time a page is turned; the user would just need to fit the text within the confines of border (as a bonus, it would cut out any background - including fingers - that would fall within that frame). I’d like to see more options for adjusting size and quality as well.

    All that aside, Scannable is still one of the best scanning apps I’ve found so far, and having these few added improvements (even as a paid add-on) would make it ideal.

  • Use it many times each day - a must have tool

    I am required to submit completed and signed work orders to my employer after each job is completed. The app allows me to sit in my car, place the completed forms on my car seat, take a snapshot of each page, title the PDF form with the work order number and the client’s name, hit send and “whoosh”...it is sent via email, or to the fax number designated by my employer. And a few minutes later I receive an email receipt stating that the tax has been received by the specific fax number for the department I had sent it to. The app also can send PDF files directly to an email address as well. This app allowed me submit my daily work results in real time rather than waiting till I arrived home and copied each page to a thumb drive and then transferring the PDF’s onto emails. A great tool for all of us who work in the field each day in our “mobile office”.

  • Excellent app that has stopped working on my iPhone

    Scannable is the quickest, easiest way to transfer paper documents into OCR. I use it every day. However, the most recent version has acted squirrelly on my iPhone. After I send a document to Evernote, it tells me the documents have not been saved and asks me if I really want to delete them. But I just saved them to Evernote, so what is it talking about? This is a new step that I don’t understand.

    Also, it now sometimes gets hung up. After I click save I go to a screen that asks me to select Camera Roll or Evernote. I tap on Evernote but nothing happens. I’m stuck. So I have to quit the app, start it up again, go back to the same screen, and then it usually completes the process.

  • A Must Have for College Students

    Scannable is maybe my most used app ever. I’ve used it every single night for the past year, scanning homework assignments. No professor wants physical papers anymore, it’s all about uploading scans. I’ve had classes where people get no credit on assignments because their scans were poor. Not me. Scannable is super easy to make sure your papers are crisp and readable. It automatically takes the picture but lets you adjust the edges afterwards??? And not just edge by edge, you can move each individual corner so you get the best view of your page. I have literally never seen another app that lets you do that. I normally email them to myself so I can submit on my computer but that is an easy built in function. I know this review sounds like a marketing campaign but I was just talking with a friend about how idk what I’d do without Scannable. It’s WILD that this is free to use with no ads????? Like the reason I am back on the app store to write this is bc I was sure I must have paid for it at some point but NOPE. Every college students dream app tbh

  • This is the scanner app that works

    This scanner app works the best out of all of them. Period. Especially for packets of docs with lots of staples and clips you don’t want to remove. I tried most of the other apps and they’re just not as fast or efficient as this one. Rarely do I ever have to rescan a page that didn’t quite scan correctly. I do a lot of document reviews for my job and I have to scan odd size pages and combinations of pages and document packets full of staples and gem clips. This app does the job without having to remove them. I’ve tried other apps and I’ve always come back to this one.
