### 5/5 — Still Great! In 2022

*2022-05-05*

Still a great app. Works simple, quick, and efficient. (And still works on older versions of iOS!)

(Only short coming is No Landscape view so bit of a pain on iPad in that regard. Also doesn't appear to support AirDrop.)

Trying to use Apple iBooks for PDF's is a perpetual exercise in total frustration, Apple idiocy, iCloud interference, lack of simple edit features, and constant denial and annoyance at every turn. And they seem to make it worse with every new update. Complete pain in the a**. 

ClearScanner Pro to the rescue! Quick and easy!

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2022-01-27*

This app is so simple and it keep all my documents with the recent update now I can back up to the cloud which is awesome

### 5/5 — Need update

*2021-03-15*

Nice app
We need update

### 5/5 — On ne peut pas renommer les fichiers

*2021-03-05*

J’ai acheté cette application car j’avais la version gratuite avec publicité, mais ce n’était pas cela qui me dérangé c’était plutôt que je ne pouvais pas renommer les fichiers. Je pensais qu’avec la version pro on pouvais au moins faire cela, surtout que sur androïd d’un c’est en français et ensuite on peut renommer même sur la version gratuite. Donc ma question: ( comment puis-je faire?)

**Developer response:** Veuillez essayer la dernière version. Nous avons édité comme vous le souhaitez, j'espère que vous l'aimerez. Merci.

### 5/5 — Saves time and hassle!

*2021-02-12*

I love this app. I used to spend a lot of needless time in the office at the end of the day scanning in forms etc for work. Now I do it as I go,on the road, after service is rendered. No more hours of homework at the end of the day!
Love it! I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-07*

The pro app really gives you a full fledge functional scanner

### 5/5 — Super scanner !!

*2020-05-25*

Simple d’utilisation. Je le recommande .

### 5/5 — Amazing clarity on scanned documents

*2019-01-17*

I love this app! So far scanned many documents and very happy with the quality and the ease of storing it on google drive or emailing. Very user friendly.

### 5/5 — Excellent scanner de poche

*2017-08-22*

Fonctionne parfaitement. Permet de photographier n'importe quel document et d'en faire un PDF (ou autre). Comporte la fonction OCR. 
Notez que son auteur a répondu très rapidement à mes e-mails de demande d'aide. Vraiment sympa Nikorn !

### 5/5 — Je maintien mon avis de l'avoir

*2017-06-30*

Des Applications de ce genre, j'en ai essayé beaucoup. C'est la seule que j'utilise aujourd'hui. Je maintiens cet avis malgré celui, négatif, émis sur la version 2.8.0. C'est moi qui me suis trompé dans les réglages.

### 5/5 — ClearScanner

*2017-06-23*

Great app! I use it everyday.  (Personal and business uses)

### 5/5 — The Best Scanner App

*2017-02-02*

This is my favorite app to quickly get information I need.

### 5/5 — Super fast to scan a book

*2016-12-29*

Simple but so productive, I could scan half of my book just in one hour. It is still annoying when it often crashes when importing more than 12 photos at a time. Generally, it's a handy app for students who want to scan a book (in the library:) ).

### 5/5 — Bumsa

*2016-09-26*

Great.  Just what I was looking for,  thank you.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-06-29*

Used a few times but it never can ocr the text. Just comes out looking like garbage. Too bad

### 1/5 — Poor OCR Performance

*2016-08-03*

The OCR performance is terrible.  

It took several minutes for the app to OCR a Sammy text capture and the results were unusable.  Not recommended

### 3/5 — Cloudsync lässt App einfrieren

*2024-10-18*

Nicht möglich die App mit OneDrive zu Synchronisieren. App friert ein. 
Warum kein Sync mit ICLOUD???.
Ausfüllen von PDFs sollte möglich gemacht werden. Naja... Ob es nun die 7 € wert war? Sehe ich nicht so. 
Indische App, vermutlich auch Datenkrake. Kein Impressum auf Entwickler Webseite. Nur eine gmail-Email. Auch typisch für Indien.

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Ihre Erfahrung mit der App nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Um Ihnen besser helfen zu können, teilen Sie uns bitte die Einzelheiten der Probleme mit, die Sie haben, indem Sie uns unter clearscanner@gmail.com kontaktieren.

### 3/5 — Nice, but missing some functions

*2016-07-28*

Its a great app, but I need one essential function:
Please let me specify a pixel width of the resulting image/pdf (eg 300px) - otherwise the resulting pdf is way to big (also in size).
It would be also nice to disable the format selection (pdf or jpg) every time when sharing a document by mail (this could be done once in the preferences).
Thank you very much!

### 3/5 — Love it

*2016-06-01*

Awesome app, just wish I didn't have to search for it each time. It didn't give me an icon on my phone like it did on my husbands. 
Otherwise, perfect!!

### 3/5 — Need lot improvements

*2016-03-30*

There is no flash!!. Why does the app needs to scan ocr every single time. UI needs to be improved

### 4/5 — MacOS version needed

*2026-04-17*

This is the best scanner for iOS. Giving 4 star only because this is not available for MacOS. Please provide MacOS version also then 5 stars.

### 4/5 — The Scanner

*2025-02-04*

ClearScanner Pro is my force multiplier and meets all my scanning tasks so efficient and loveable… Thank you…

### 5/5 — Best iOS scanner 👌

*2025-03-02*

This is the best scanner app for iOS. It has almost all the desired features and it’s working superbly 👌

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-01-29*

Best simple (but mighty) scanner app on the market. Fast and good support when needed and last but not least quick response to customer wishes (dark app icon! yeah! :) )

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2024-10-28*

Very easy and accurate to use, thanks for your hard work.

### 5/5 — Great Experience

*2024-10-23*

Easy , simple and effective app. This is one time paid subscription. Developer deserves this money. Thanks

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

*2024-07-26*

Good app and easy to navigate.
Will be better if will be bilingual.
Thanks for your help and support.

### 5/5 — Благодарностях

Спасибо отличная работа приложения!
С уважением Виктор Иванов

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2023-11-01*

Ich habe alle Scanner Apps von 1€ bis 99€ tagelang ausprobiert. Bei jeder App hat immer etwas gefehlt. Bei dieser fehlt wirklich gar nichts. Im gegenteil dieser app kann viel zu viel. Auch wenn dieser App 99€ kosten würde, würde ich es behalten. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler.

### 5/5 — Great functionality

*2023-10-15*

The functionality and workflow are great. A very welcome feature is the fact that this app uses the good old principle of one time purchase: pay once, get the product. This is as it should always be (but, alas, is becoming less and less common). No funny (and greedy) subscription business. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2023-05-08*

En tant que professionnel, je travail avec cette appli depuis plus de 5 ans, et je n’ai rien à dire d’autres que cela me simplifie la vie, plus besoin d’allumer mon ordi pour faire un scan en pdf.
Merci l’équipe.

### 5/5 — Best scanner app

*2023-03-30*

I have been using this app for years it’s the best one  out there
