This all worked well for a year or two. Then suddenly just crashed every time. Recent model iPhone. And No idea why. Don’t care. Have deleted. ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-13, version 7.23.5* good app ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Excellent ### 5/5 — Espectacular *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Muy buena aplicación ### 4/5 — Review *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* I like using it. Very helpful. Some of the editing tools I can’t figure out how to use correctly. Sometimes it’s hard to get messy pages looking clean again, but I guess that’s just the nature of a scanner. ### 5/5 — Efficacy *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Best thing ever in history of scanning and printing area ### 5/5 — Recommended *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Have been using cam scanner for years without any issues. ### 5/5 — CamScanner *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Easy to used and reliable ℹ highly recommended ### 5/5 — Best Scanner!! *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Honestly, it has been a lifesaver for me as far as needing to send back, Scan documents, and email them. And all of this for free I absolutely love it thank you thank you thank you CamScanner for being so awesome. And making it so easy for even a grandma to know what to do. Well I’m a grandma for my four Paws furry grandchildren. ### 5/5 — Medical stuff *2026-08-11, version 7.23.5* Having this to document all of my medical appointments and use for insurance purposes is incredibly convenient ### 5/5 — First time user!! *2026-08-11, version 7.23.5* If this worked like I think it did, it will change my life as a Realtor!

Not sure why this is so highly rated, even when you have premium they still plaster their logo on every pdf you sign. ### 1/5 — AVOID THIS *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Full of annoying adds and glitches ### 1/5 — Why *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Tại sao phải trả tiền ### 1/5 — Publicidade em excesso mesmo no premium *2026-08-12, version 7.23.5* Do nada começaram a aparecer diversas publicidades no aplicativo, mesmo no plano pago. É horrível isso. Vou ter que cancelar e usar outro. ### 1/5 — I really liked this app, until … they tried to force you to subscribe to complete your scan. *2026-08-11, version 7.23.5* This app goes way out of its way to get you to commit to a subscription. It will automatically provide the updated features and prompts you to get a subscription in order to share or send the scanned page(s) or just using the app in General. I was stuck with a 1 year subscription and I have found a new app for my needs. ### 1/5 — Spammy app *2026-08-10, version 7.23.0* App is basically unusable. Sad because it used to be a good app ### 1/5 — Have to pay to do anything *2026-08-09, version 7.23.0* Not worth it. Used to be ok but required money to do anything. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO USE CAMSCANNER *2026-08-16, version 7.23.5* Very easy and quick to use with wonderful results ### 5/5 — Better than “name brand” *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* I have been using this app since it first came out and the updates are more than keeping up with the “Jones’ “ and better…! ### 5/5 — 100/100 *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* Great ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* Great ### 5/5 — Perfect work *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* Your work is amazing ### 5/5 — Scanning *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* Very excellent performance ### 5/5 — Scanning documents *2026-08-14, version 7.23.5* The best app for scanning ever!
