Great App

Just discovered that scanned pages can be re-ordered. Great.
Useful tool to have in the toolbag. Edge of page detection works well.

Well done but...

No privacy is a serious drawback

Thank you for your feedback. Starting from iOS 14.5, the application asks for permission before tracking your activity. If you see a request to track your activity, you can tap Allow or Ask App Not to Track. You can still use the full capabilities of the app, regardless of whether you allow the app to track your activity. You can check or change this option on your iPhone (Settings » Privacy» Tracking).

(Used to be the) best scanning and OCR app that existed!

Update - 2024: This used to be the best app for scanning and OCR. As of August, 2023, ABBYY discontinued their support and switched off the excellent OCR features that once made it the best OCR app around. It is now very inaccurate and almost useless! I dearly miss the original app that I purchased some years ago.

Original 5 star review - 2019 I’ve been using FineScannerPRO for a few years now and it just keeps getting better! Scanning is simple with the iPad or iPhone and OCR is very accurate. I’ve been using it to recognize text in both English and Spanish, both of which work great. The new page area recognition features make it easier than ever to scan pages with little or no manual adjustments. Recognized documents can be downloaded in several useful file formats including MS Word, RTF, and plain text. I now do all my scanning and OCR on my iPad instead of my dedicated scanner. It is just so much faster and easier. You can also make a “photocopy” of any document just by printing the result of your scan. I would highly recommend this app!

Thank you for the feedback! The ABBYY FineReader PDF for iOS is still shipping, supported, and available, however, there have been some functional adjustments. We've made some changes to our functionality, including updates to our list of export formats and OCR languages, along with discontinuing the BookScan feature. We sincerely want to fix the situation that you encounter in the application. Please specify the situation in more detail and write us an email at mobile_support@abbyy.com. ABBYY Customer Support

Not impressed

I used this 12 years ago on Mac when there was nothing else like it and it was amazing, it was also better then than it is now. The native scan application on Apple products via Files has much better document edge recognition and better OCR than this app. The conversion of parts manuals with pictures and clear and simple tables and lists into .docx was why I bought it and it’s totally useless at this and unlike the old versions, you can’t seem to edit the table properties in the app. I suppose it works but it’s significantly worse than the native apple apps which are free. If this app cost 100th of the price it would be awesome but for the money it just doesn’t deliver.

Disappointing

I use ABBYY products on my desktop and I was a big fan until I purchased this product. I could not get a single useful document out of this. I would ask for a full refund as not up to the claims made I was so confident in ABBYY I never bothered with the free version OUCH I learned my lesson

为什么“服务器相应错误”？

“服务器相应错误”问题至今没有解决，是解决不了？还是不想解决？需要有个说法——因为：你的服务与合同约定的不一致，已经违约了！

Love your mom.

Crashes

The app crashes a lot and shuts down when trying to scan and crop a book. And when the app is reopened all of the scanned pages are gone
