### 4/5 — OCRの不調

*2026-02-02*

アップデート後OCRが不調に。 以前できた資料でも試してみましたがやはりOCR出来なくなっています。

素早い対応で OCR復調しました

ありがとうございます

### 3/5 — Application slowness

*2025-12-10*

Before purchasing Pro and Cloud sync it was 5 stars. Post purchase it is very slow and nothing works. I cannot add new scans. I cannot open scroll old files. I can't disable cloud sync.. m afraid to uninstall as I would loose my scan data..
Reducing 1 star again as after recent update the scans are not symmetric as before. It's failing to align the page borders as before.. Its loosing its quality

### 4/5 — Sufficient, but sending options need an upgrade

*2025-11-20, version 5.14.4*

This is a great app. I’ve used it for years. However, sometimes there are long delays between when I send a scanned document by the email feature and when it is received. Also, the sender information is stance. So it is likely to be overlooked, ignored or filtered into the spam folder which is problematic when trying to handle documents quickly and professionally.

### 3/5 — Empieza a fallar

*2025-10-21, version 5.14.3*

Era de lo mejor que tenía, pero está empezando a quedarse colgado al abrirse.

### 4/5 — ชื่นชอบ

*2025-06-24, version 5.14*

ใช้งานบ่อยในการเก็บเอกสาร PDF.. ใช้ดีมีหลายฟังชั่นที่สะดวกกับการทำงานปรัยแต่งไฟล์เอกสาร… จะมีแค่บางครั้งที่เปิดไฟล์ไม่ได้ ไม่อ่านชื่อ และไม่ขึ้นรูป

### 3/5 — Simplifies my life!

*2024-10-17, version 5.12.9*

Straightforward and easy to use- it’s become my go-to for all kinds of personal and professional situations when I need to make sure I have a copy of any documents. Streamlines things for me, especially for items I don’t necessarily need hard copies, but do want a transaction record. I had no idea how much I would end up using it when I first downloaded it to try!

Updating because platform seems to have changed over time. I can no longer email docs from app and faxing is ridiculously expensive for multi page documents. Disappointed in these points. I paid for an upgrade thinking that would take care of the email aspect but I was wrong- still no go!

### 5/5 — Best App

*2024-08-22, version 5.12.6*

I have been using this App for few years. It has been so helpful and improved so much over the years.

### 5/5 — thank you

*2024-08-22*

Doc is my best friend for five years.
Doc is easy to use. I recommend Doc to all.

### 5/5 — Owner, Bradford, Plumbing

*2024-08-21, version 5.12.6*

This is very good keep in jobsite records with the email stored and put on the office computer quite easily

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-08-12*

Voilà un outil que j’utilise quotidiennement depuis une dizaine d’années et dont les performances sont excellentes. Peut-être existe-t-il mieux mais celui là me convient très bien.

### 5/5 — Steve

*2024-06-03, version 5.11.3*

Great product

### 5/5 — Scanner

*2024-05-20, version 5.11.3*

The best ever mobile scanner

### 5/5 — Teacher life saver!

*2024-05-14, version 5.11.3*

I frequently use old books and publications in my classes. This app lets me quickly scan even a curved page from a thick book and make an easily readable power point slide.

### 5/5 — Best book scan app yet!

*2024-05-13, version 5.11.3*

This one can do it offline. I mean you have a image of a book spread in camera roll it can still pick up the work from the image.

The competitor cannot do this

### 5/5 — Teacher life saver!

*2024-04-17*

I frequently use old books and publications in my classes. This app lets me quickly scan even a curved page from a thick book and make an easily readable power point slide.

### 4/5 — Excellent yet to become perfect

*2024-04-11, version 5.10*

So far has many needs. Needs improvement.  Wishing to have colored annotations, folders etc.

### 5/5 — A seamless image to text conversion tool

*2024-03-27, version 5.9.9*

I use OCR daily for transcribing documents with very formatting and spelling corrections needed. The ability to photograph a page, import it into OCR and export the content in an email reduces my time transcribing documents from hours to minutes. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Impecable

*2024-03-02, version 5.9.9*

Esta app ya lleva rato y sigue siendo de cinco estrellas

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — not fair

*2025-01-25, version 5.13.4*

It used be easy to export scans to a laptop. Then it became nearly impossible to use email. For a while I shared scans instead via dropbox. Now they “updated “ in such a way that it requires a bronse plan. This is not what I purchased. It is not fair.

### 1/5 — Email stopped working

*2024-07-07, version 5.12.5*

Loved the app and had been using the free version for years. During one of the upgrades the ability to email the information stopped working.  If it still worked this would be an awesome app.

### 1/5 — Screenshots

*2024-01-04, version 5.9.3*

All of a sudden when I email myself a screenshot it isnt in pdf automatically. What changed?

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2021-02-23, version 4.7.1*

I had high hopes for this app, but it crashes constantly. I can take pictures of lots of pages, but when it’s time to analyze them I get 1-3 processed before it starts to crash. Reopen the app and try again - crash. I have deleted the whole file and started over. Still crashes. And yes, I have done what the support page says to do and restarted my phone. That doesn’t help.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-02-15, version 4.7.1*

Unusable app:

The warping is useless, for a few reasons. It does not work perfectly well, some curves will remain and there is no option , nor feature , nor way to do another round of de-warping. You will be stuck with the bad result. This shows lack of the developers comprehension in this field of de-warping book pages. 
The files / images taken with this app of a book page, are always being downsized 10 times. So if your iPhone camera can do a 3000 x 45000 pixel dimension photo, the app creates a 500x800 pixel image. This will become a problem and will matter a lot, if your book pages contain more than 50 lines , for example if you were to have a 200 lines per page book, then letters will be too small to read. So at this point the app is leaving one with  only a badly de-warped Page, at an image size , 10 times smaller then your iPhone actually had shot it at,... a size that is now that small, that never can be printed for its low resolution after the app internally downsizes all images always 10 times. There is no choice the user has to change this 10 times downsizing.
Their Text recognition OCR module/engine can read two out of 20 words, if you’re lucky. Yet again their second part , their own OCR , is simply utterly useless. 
The lack of professional support unfortunately shows, yet here now at a fourth time with this app, that this app is to be avoided: When I approached and asked about adding new better features, their support called me the following, and I quote here: ...”Due to your ignorance, we will not do that for you. You can delete the app and forget about it.”.....
As it turns out the website states that only three developers are behind this app. So don’t be fooled by the website layout which suggests there must be hundreds of people working there.
When checking and researching the  5 star reviews here, it’s almost obvious they are all from fake people. 

Final conclusion:

If you are in the market to waste your time and end up with images that are 10 times smaller, then what was taken with your iPhone camera, and making them unprintable and not readable for fine print,.. and where pages  are not at all entirely de-warped like so nicely shown in their fake videos here in the app-store ,  and where their  OCR results are 2 correctly recognized words out of 20 that you need to have recognized,... well,...  then you hit the jackpot, then this might very well be your perfect app for you.

### 1/5 — 제가 원하던 기능이 아니에요 ㅜㅜ

*2020-11-23*

이미 스캔된 항목에 ocr작업을 하려고 
후기보고 기능이 좋다해서 구매했는데
파일을 불러오기가 안됩니다,,,

구입취소 부탁드려요 ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

### 1/5 — Ver 4.2 is non-functional

*2020-08-30, version 4.2*

Can’t scan, can’t open anything that was scanned.  Only a couple of menu options don’t lock the entire app up.

Was having difficulty retrieving my docs for some weeks now.  Since the update the entire program is non-functional for the purpose it was designed.

### 1/5 — Taking back the buy

*2020-06-25, version 4.0.1*

I purchased the version that allowed cloud saving. Latest version takes away that feature to try to make me buy a new version. Ripoff.

### 1/5 — Total waste of time

*2020-02-03, version 3.5*

Unless you pop for the Pro version, this ap is useless.

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2018-10-27, version 2.8*

Needs options to sort by dates name etc

### 5/5 — Solid Product

*2025-12-11, version 5.14.4*

I’ve been using this app for years!  It has gotten better over time!  It works as intended!

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2025-05-18, version 5.13.15*

Unlike those programs that depend on AI too much, this program does the image processing locally, and the algorithms are great. As a result, this app is much faster than others when I scan a book.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-08, version 5.13.2*

The best of its kind! Absolutely stunned by its ability to ocr polytonic Greek.

### 5/5 — Doc OCR

*2024-11-25, version 5.12.10*

เป็นแอปพลิเคชันที่จัดเก็บงานด้านเอกสารที่ดีที่สุดอันหนึ่ง เคยใช้แอปฯ อื่นมาก่อนหน้านี้ แต่ชื่นชอบ DoC OCR มากที่สุด มีฟังก์ชันที่เป็นประโยชน์มากหลายอย่าง แค่ใช้ฟังก์ชันเพียงสอง-สามอย่างก็ช่วยในการทำงานได้อย่างมากมาย ใช้งานง่ายและสะดวกมาก สามารถค้นหาไฟล์งานได้อย่างง่ายดายและรวดเร็ว รวมถึงสามารถสร้างไฟล์งานขึ้นใหม่ได้อย่างง่ายดายและรวดเร็วด้วย อีกทั้งยังสามารถส่งต่อไฟล์งานให้กับผู้ร่วมงานหรือทีมงานได้ในหลายมิติ ทั้งทางไลน์ อีเมล และอื่น ๆ ขอชื่นชมอย่างที่สุด รู้สึกขอบพระคุณที่มีแอปพลิเคชันดี ๆ เช่นนี้เสมอมา

### 5/5 — Works and saves me time
