### 5/5 — 很好很好

*2026-07-09*

保存上限是24张图片，导出为PDF是12张，如果导出时可以24张一起就更好了。

**Developer response:** 24是单次连续扫描的上限，但可以分多次持续给一个pdf添加图片的，导出没有12的限制啊？可以在app内联系我们

### 4/5 — gut

*2026-07-07*

die App gefällt mir sehr gut, ich arbeite damit jeden Tag. Was mir fehlt, ist eine sicherungs Option, entweder über Cloud oder einer anderen online Option.

### 4/5 — 好

*2026-07-02*

不错

### 5/5 — 無料で広告もでない

*2026-07-02*

無料のスキャンアプリは広告ばかりで使いにくい、有料に誘導するものばかりです。
アップル純正のメモアプリはスキャン結果が残念です。
このアプリはスキャンの質も良く変な広告も出ないのに無料でとても良いです

This app lives up to its name, I’ve been using it for a little over four years, it’s not disappointed me yet. Once you download, I promise nothing else comes even close to its capabilities… Get it NOW.

### 5/5 — Great Scanner App

*2026-04-19*

I have tried several scan apps in the past, but have found Beyond Scan to be among the best. It is intuitive, easy to use and meets your needs. In addition, I had a question for the developer (where is all the data you import stored-answer- in your iphone and accessible only to you). The response was very quick and satisfies my concern relative to the safe storage of my data. I highly recommend Beyond Scan.

### 5/5 — 很好用的扫描软件
