### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2023-08-11, version 2.8*

I just deleted this app for good , middle of scanning adds appear and then another one and then another one then I deleted for good and give 1 star now I’m using iPhone notepad as a scanner no adds thank u Apple 🙏

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2022-12-12, version 2.3*

In addition to it's many intrusive ads, I ended up with a DAT file that wouldn't open, not a PDF.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-08-23, version 2.2*

Does not work does not make PDF!

### 1/5 — Scanner

*2022-04-26, version 2.0*

Too many adds and although it claimed to be free there are in app charges and additional installs. DO NOT USE.

### 1/5 — Oo

*2022-03-01, version 1.9*

1* because of this goddamn advertisements

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2021-10-08, version 1.8*

I downloaded the app and spent time taking pictures, only for me to press “save” and have the app close out on me. After I got back on the app I couldn’t find my documents. This is a real disappointment of an app.

### 2/5 — Annoying adds

*2026-01-21, version 4.0*

I am really getting annoyed with all the adds that pop up now and hinder my productivity. I am also very unhappy that once you open the app, the subscribe button pops up right where the photo button is, so that right as I am about to press “take a photo,” the subscribe button pops up in front and I end up pressing that instead. Smart in that it gets more people to press it, but stupid in that it brings down the rating.

### 2/5 — Will not update.

*2025-10-28, version 3.9*

Very basic scanner. Will work for small scans. Color is very orange regardless of surrounding light source and I have a new phone so the camera is not the issue. Finally I cancelled because the app kept closing out and would not fully reopen.

### 3/5 — Good for a free app.

*2022-08-13, version 2.2*

I just don’t like the

### 5/5 — Enjoying the app

*2025-02-16, version 3.5*

I’ve been helping my Mom with her docs. I take pics from her phone and upload the PDF’s from another app on her iPad from the cloud. The only thing that I don’t like is that shadows are carried over from the photos. Not sure if that’s fixable.

### 5/5 — Super!

*2024-10-07, version 3.5*

La mejor App

### 5/5 — Verygood

*2022-06-27, version 2.0*

Very good
