For this reason, I’m going to look for a scanner with either no ads or the ads dialed back a bit. ### 2/5 — Pay for what you get *2026-01-08, version 1.2.5* Honestly not a great app but I refuse to pay for a document scanner. It’s interface is awful and the ads drive me absolutely insane and make an activity that should take 5 minutes into a 20 minute ordeal. ### 3/5 — App redirecting to another app *2025-07-13, version 1.2.5* Have been using this app for long time. But now unable to open it. App directs to an investment app called EVEST. Pls advise what should I do? ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-04-26, version 1.2.5* Great when I can get in it but lately when I trying to use it every time I open it there’s another ad. ### 1/5 — SE Territory Sales Manager *2025-04-14, version 1.2.5* What a disappointment! Had a few weeks of good function in helping report expenses. The ads were annoying but expected for a free app. Now the app locks up on the ad. It won’t let me X out and continue with the scan. A week ago I had to delete the app and reinstall it to work. But now it won’t let me do that. ### 3/5 — App used to work well *2025-04-07, version 1.2.5* The app used to work very well and still does if you can get past the spam adds that it gives you as soon as the app starts. There’s a specific add that opens and cannot be closed so it makes the app useless. The only way to get around it seems to be putting my phone on airplane mode and opening the app. ### 1/5 — Horrible Ads *2025-03-31, version 1.2.5* Absolutely plagued with ads. It’s almost unusable. Have to close out and get back in several times because it just keeps bombarding you with advertisements. I just deleted it. Find a better alternative. ### 1/5 — Phone hanging issue *2025-03-30, version 1.2.5* Octa add block the phone and app Facing issue files not open so many adds and drive not works Ph hanging issues ### 3/5 — Ads in the way *2025-03-27, version 1.2.5* Free scanning is great but recently the ads before you send have been getting in the way so much so that I am unable to click out after watching and thus cannot send myself the pdf I need. ### 3/5 — App gets stuck on Ads *2025-03-10, version 1.2.5* Have to close and reopen app to get past many of the ads that pop up. Very irritating . ### 1/5 — I hate octa FX *2025-03-10, version 1.2.5* Did you forget to add exit button whenever octa fx display their ads? ### 1/5 — U can scan but there’s no way to skip the ads and skip *2025-03-09, version 1.2.5* Scam alert. Traps ur scanned photos and unable to share. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need my docs back *2026-05-22, version 1.2.5* The app is not available no more and I need my docs back ### 1/5 — Not that good *2026-02-23, version 1.2.5* App started great then it just freezes ### 1/5 — Irritation *2025-12-27, version 1.2.5* Advertising jyada hai kabhi bhi open karo advertising pahle aati hai jo bohat jyada irritating hoti hai ### 1/5 — Ads break the app *2025-08-28, version 1.2.5* Ads break the app constantly. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-08-28, version 1.2.5* There is no option to get out of the ads. ### 1/5 — Apps apps apps they won’t close *2025-08-27, version 1.2.5* Terrible ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-08-18, version 1.2.5* App won’t send the PDF’s. Whats the point of this app if it won’t send what I need where I need it????? ### 1/5 — Trash app *2025-08-15, version 1.2.5* The ads get in the way and won’t allow you to exit out of it. Don’t get this app ### 1/5 — ADS WONT CLOSE *2025-06-30, version 1.2.5* Editing to say the issue hasn’t been resolved… just had to exit and reopen the app 4 times waiting to get an ad that would allow me to close it. All of the ads with “continue” in the top right do not allow you to push the “continue” button, leaving you stuck on the ad until you force close the ap. I’ve been using this app for years without issue. Recently, though, many of the in app ads won’t close, forcing me to have to close the app and restart, and cross my fingers the same add doesn’t pop up again ### 1/5 — Crashing every time I try to open a photo *2025-05-14, version 1.2.5* It used to work great before but now it's completely unusable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-25, version 1.2.5* Makes my life easier and free document scanning app that works and is no cost to me ### 5/5 — Glad iPhone has it’s own scan app now. *2025-12-25, version 1.2.5* So glad iPhone has its own totally ad free scan app now. This one worked okay but like others are saying the adds were just over the top annoying. I have since transferred out all information and deleted it. If you have an iPhone, you have absolutely no need for any of these lesser quality scan apps. The iPhone app is excellent! ### 5/5 — Everything works *2025-12-08, version 1.2.5* Struggles to fax sometimes ### 5/5 — Superb *2025-11-21, version 1.2.5* What a superb ### 5/5 — Update for software *2025-09-16, version 1.2.5* I’ve had this for over four years and it’s been working great but now it seems to be glitching. Not sure. Why is there an update for this app? ### 5/5 — Doc *2025-09-06, version 1.2.5* Pls fix app update as it no longer opens on my phone I’ve lost all of my documents 😢 ### 5/5 — Docs impressive *2025-06-12, version 1.2.5* Is the best I love it 😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-28, version 1.2.5* The app is free and works really well for me. I have been using this for years. ### 5/5 — Docuscan *2025-03-05, version 1.2.5* What a wonderful free app. I use it all the time. You can save as a PDF or JPEG and it usually brightens the document and crops it for you. You can save it or send it. Love it!! Best app I’ve ever downloaded. Easy to use and with me traveling, easy to capture signed documents and send them right away! ### 5/5 — Good and free *2025-03-04, version 1.2.5* I used for 5 years, very happy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
