### 3/5 — Insgesamt zufrieden…

*2026-05-18, version 5.27.1*

…aber wenn man ein Problem hat und um Hilfe bittet, bleibt man auf der Strecke. Alle meine gespeicherten Dokumente sind nicht mehr da, aber meine Bitte um Hilfe wurde nicht gehört!

### 3/5 — オプション表示が邪魔

*2026-05-13, version 5.27.1*

折角広告とウォーターマーカーを無くすために有料プランのプラス(+)のアプリにしたのに、プレミアムへのアップグレード表示がしょっちゅう出て邪魔でアップグレードした意味がない。何とかして欲しい

### 2/5 — App is NOT $.99 cents

*2026-05-02, version 5.27.1*

What you give them your phone number and they text you a code. They then proceed to insist that you sign up for “premium “ for something like $40 a year. Never got to see the actual app because I couldn’t get past the screen. People if you’re gonna make premium content. At least let us see so we know what we’re buying. I’m giving you a two stars because I know it’s difficult to get an app posted up on the App Store. And you’ve at least done that. But you need to offer some value to people.

### 2/5 — Increasingly Unstable

*2026-04-01, version 5.27.1*

Ever since my last update iOS 26.3.1 (23D8133)
It’s gotten glitchy and slow. It’s not the same reliable app it was before.
Not sure what to do?

### 2/5 — Não consigo enviar arquivos

*2026-03-12, version 5.27.1*

Realizei a compra do app e quando loguei com minha conta aparece que é a versão gratuita e não consigo enviar os arquivos escaneados por email e atraves do WhatsApp

### 1/5 — Lesado

*2026-02-26, version 5.27.1*

O aplicativo apresenta uma prática inadequada, pois após a compra ainda exige o pagamento de uma assinatura adicional para liberar seus recursos. Isso caracteriza indução ao erro, uma vez que adquiri o aplicativo acreditando que teria acesso às suas funcionalidades, e não para ser surpreendido com uma nova cobrança para utilizá-las.

### 1/5 — Costosa

*2026-02-25, version 5.27.1*

La paghi per acquistarla e poi alla prima scansione ti dice che per salvare il file devi anche abbonarti. Poca trasparenza. Buttati 99 cent.

### 1/5 — Fax

*2026-02-04, version 5.27.1*

Why is the fax not letting me pay for recharge funds. So complicated I’m not impressed as first time user

### 1/5 — Wors dönüştürmüyor

*2026-02-03, version 5.27.1*

Parasını verip satın aldım bir daha para istiyor word e dönüşyürmüyor. Bu yaptıklarım ücretisiz versiyonda da va dı

### 1/5 — Полная шляпа , а не платная версия

*2026-02-01, version 5.27.1*

Купил приложение, которое даже не работает . До этого пользовался бесплатной и проблем небыло вообще. Захотел приобрести полную версию но но но .

### 1/5 — 全都用不了

*2026-01-31, version 5.27.1*

不管是cs还是cs➕，全都用不了，不知道原因，这个公司的软件都是废的吗？？

### 1/5 — Кал

*2026-01-21, version 5.27.1*

### 1/5 — 最近のバグ

*2026-08-24, version 5.27.2*

最近、iPadで開くと写真ボタンが画面の下に埋没して消えて使えなくなった。これから使用される方は注意。

### 1/5 — Unable to contact

*2026-08-06, version 5.27.1*

Both app support and developer website do not work.

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2026-08-06, version 5.27.1*

CamScanner + has removed access to all my locally stored files after forcing me to sign on from a guest account. There was no auto sync or warning !!!

### 1/5 — It says buy once

*2026-06-02, version 5.27.1*

I did. But nothing to use. I paid.

### 1/5 — 台灣就是台灣，不是什麼中國（台灣）

*2026-05-31, version 5.27.1*

整天逼人認賊作父，啥道理？

### 1/5 — Lừa đảo

*2026-05-01, version 5.27.1*

Không scan được premium

### 1/5 — Money hunter or a scam?

*2026-04-29, version 5.27.1*

You say “Hi Cam Scanner “ to receive a reply purchase bla bla bla. Isn’t nonsense not to be able to store your files to local memory?

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2026-04-20, version 5.27.1*

想钱想疯了，基本功能还要月费

### 1/5 — Хорошо

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-04, version 5.27.1*

### 5/5 — Awesome app! Must have!

This app is so helpful and a must have for everyone!

### 5/5 — Seit Jahren bestens

*2026-07-08, version 5.27.1*

Alles funktioniert seit Jahren bestens. Vielen Dank für die App. Verdiente 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — FAVORITE work app of ALL time

*2026-07-07*

CamScanner is the most user-friendly app I have ever used- across the board regardless of type/category. It’s always simple, it always works, I’ve never had a single complaint about the functionality. It makes me happy when I use it! And it’s free?!?! Too good to be true. I use it multiple times daily for work, and it has saved me an UNBELIEVABLE amount of time over the years. 20 stars out of 10.

### 5/5 — Classic and great

*2026-06-01, version 5.27.1*

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s always worked perfectly.

### 5/5 — Imprescindible

*2026-04-04, version 5.27.1*

Está es es un aplicación necesaria en el celular 100%

### 5/5 — be cheaper

*2026-01-29, version 5.27.1*

in Malaysia it’s too expensive for a rarely use maybe a weekly subscription will do?

### 5/5 — Must Have Too

*2026-01-05, version 5.27.1*

Must Have Tool when you are not in an office environment.  Great for documentation when traveling or field work.

### 5/5 — 手放せないアプリ

*2025-11-14, version 5.27.1*

書類の保管がとても優秀です。斜めから撮ってもまっすぐに修正してくれるので助かります。テキストも鮮明にしてくれるので、手描きイラストの線画の取り込みにも役立っています。フォルダ分けできてフォルダ毎にパスワードもかけられます。結構長く使っていますが他のアプリは代わりになれません。

### 5/5 — Plus/Pro Konto ließ sich wiederherstellen

*2025-10-11, version 5.27.0*

Update: nach Kontakt mit dem Support, wurde mein Plus/pro Konto wiederhergestellt. Bin sehr froh, dass das geklappt hat und vielen Dank und den Support. Ich brauche nicht mehr als diese Version und bin mit dem Funktionsumfang sehr zufrieden.

Old:
Aktuell mit iPhone 17 lässt sich zum ersten Mal das Plus/pro Konto nicht wiederherstellen unter dem Menüpunkt Käufe wiederherstellen. Da stürzt die App ab und der Kringel läuft stundenlang weiter. Bisher war ich soweit zufrieden mit der App, ich habe aber nicht viel damit gemacht außer scan to Mail.
