### 2/5 — Subscription

*2023-05-26, version 15.2*

I downloaded this app and was trying the free subscription for a month. It had not even been a month. Y'all already charged me for a month and the free trial has not even expired.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-03-17, version 15.2*

I have never written a review for an app before. I have never had an app that I have been getting charged without knowing. I do not know why but they have been charging me every week ever since the start of the new year. I will have to file a complaint with Apple and the BBB and other organizations. I just want my money back but there is no way to cancel your subscription.

### 1/5 — Predatory subscription model

*2023-01-14, version 15.2*

All of this company’s apps try to charge you by the week for something that you can easily do for free, hoping you will forget to cancel the “free” trial. Asking for 7 dollars a week to scan QR codes is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-01-14, version 15.2*

This is a scam. If you accidentally install the trial they will automatically start charging you $6.99 per WEEK after 3 days. Ridiculous!!!

### 1/5 — I did not mean to buy this app and I keep getting charged. How can I stop the charges? Please help.

*2023-01-07, version 15.2*

Somehow I bought this app while purchasing another scanning app. I have been charged more than $50 and cannot figure out how to reach the company to make it stop or return my money. Can someone help?

### 1/5 — Didn’t work. I want a refund.

*2022-12-27, version 15.2*

As soon as I used the app to scan a document, the app charged my Apple account. Didn’t even ask. Insult is the app didn’t work. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2022-12-14, version 15.2*

This app fooled my dad into setting up multiple subscriptions for the same thing. It’s crafted to confuse and force the user to setup a new subscription each time you use the app. The app does nothing to stop you from initiating multiple weekly subscriptions for the same thing! Absolute scam

### 1/5 — Fake purchase

*2022-12-11, version 15.2*

I just looked at this and it put through as a purchase. I put in for a refund but it says it’s not eligible. I didn’t purchase it and never used it.

### 3/5 — Uninstall app

*2022-12-10, version 15.2*

I don’t know how I signed up for this subscription but I cancelled it. Please instruct me on how to uninstall the app. In the App Store there is no button to uninstall.

### 1/5 — Irresponsible billing practice

*2022-12-09, version 15.2*

I was charged without warning and no free trial. Zero notifications, emails, or other indications that I would be charged. And $6.99 per week is ridiculous for what this app provides. 

Very bad business practice and shady billing to say the least.

### 1/5 — I find this app inferior.

*2022-12-03, version 15.2*

It was hard to get the keyboard to come up to write a negative review.   I had 3 days to try it and now I can’t cancel it.

### 1/5 — Hard to get rid of

*2022-11-02, version 15.2*

I took one look & knew it was not what I wanted. It took several hours to delete and I am still not sure it is gone. Persistent little devil.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2022-10-15, version 15.0*

Hello, I did not realize that downloading you app committed me to paying fo membership.  User error. However, I also didn’t receive any form of confirmation prior to being charged.

Please refund me the amount that you deducted from my card.

### 1/5 — Steal paperwork

*2022-09-27, version 15.0*

I trying to get my documents back your will not release them my documents are hostage

### 1/5 — Forced to purchase

*2022-09-20, version 15.0*

I love how all these apps are [free]. Then only $6.99/weekly—$30 monthly. Not going pay almost $30 per month for an app I'll use once in a blue moon. Developers still earn with downloads and ads on the app. Why be so greedy? Or allow us to use free WITHOUT a card and it its good as advertised, it'll sell itself. Nope. Greedy greedy greedy world we live in. This world will soon end.

### 2/5 — Scanned PDFs out of this app can’t be 20 MB

*2022-09-12, version 15.0*

Files are too big to reliably email. I scanned only 3 pages and got a 23MB file that I can’t email. No 3 page PDF should ever be a 20+MB file

### 1/5 — Is this scan a scam ?

*2022-08-15, version 15.0*

Wanted qr reader while at restaurant downloaded app. Now being charged 6.99 per week (twice so far). I did not realize it had a charge.  Complained to apple and contested cc charge.

### 1/5 — Impossible to cancel !

*2022-08-09, version 15.0*

I've tried to find out how to cancel the monthly payment that I signed up for when I didn't decide to continue.  I'm n the 7 day trial service and I want to cancel.  How the heck do you cancel!

### 1/5 — I feel tricked

*2022-07-30, version 14.16*

Ca lotto days to scan ticket with their app. Guess what….you can’t. Within the CaLotto app it says to load this scan app. Guess what…. If you follow the directions you can’t scan the lotto card UNLESS you PAY.  No where does the developer say you have to pay.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription in app

*2024-09-21, version 15.4*

I purchased this app in order to do business with one specific company. The company’s software was not compatible so I tried to cancel the subscription. After wasting 30 minutes I finally read the review and learned how to do it in my phone’s settings. It shouldn’t be that hard. I suspect this company is ripping off consumers by charging a very high WEEKLY rate, and then hoping the customer can’t figure out how to end the subscription.

### 1/5 — Trying to cancel my subscription

*2024-08-31, version 15.4*

I’ve contacted them twice and I’m no longer needing this app I want to cancel my subscription. I looked in the cancel subscriptions and this app is not there. At this point I feel like this is a scam do not use this app.

### 1/5 — “Scammer” App!

*2024-08-20, version 15.4*

There’s no need for this app because the iPhone 12 Pro Max and subsequent versions have their own internal scanner! I was paying $10/week for this for an archive project and after a long time I learned that I was completely wasting money. You don’t need this app!! Criminal!!

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2024-04-10, version 15.4*

Never fall for the trick of these scammers. Be aware to download this app.

### 1/5 — Charges while on free trial

*2023-09-15, version 15.4*

Stupid app, charged me a week after for something a used literally one day, while on the free trial.

Never using this expensive crap app every again.

### 1/5 — Unable to cancel subscription and still being charged

*2023-07-30, version 15.4*

Please send instructions on how to cancel this subscription. I am still being charged a fee after the expiration

### 1/5 — I am furious about this weekly charge

*2023-07-22, version 15.3*

I had no idea I was being charged weekly for this app. I have racked up an insanely large bill. This is insanely upsetting.

### 1/5 — Bordering on a scam

*2023-06-06, version 15.2*

Low effort app based around sneakily charging you weekly. The “auto-detection” for documents automatically takes a picture like it’s on a timer. It seems purposefully obnoxious. Geniuses with transparent thumbs designed the edge cropping so it zooms under your finger with no other ways to reference where you set it. Sometimes I feel like creators of the better mainstay apps make these apps so you go back with no other options. Just remember to cancel your subscription quick in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2023-05-11, version 15.2*

Cette aplicación ne fonctionne pas

### 1/5 — This app is a joke

*2023-05-02, version 15.2*

I need to scan something to my phone so that I can email it so I downloaded this app and you have to pay $.99 to send the document. No thanks
