### 4/5 — Total Time Saver!

*2022-03-24, version 5.1.0*

SECOND UPDATE: The developer gets 5 stars for response time. They indicated I needed to upgrade the app. True. I did. I like the fact there are new filters. The default should be colour like a true copy—not black and white. The rotation problem is not fixed. No matter how I hold my iPad, the page turns sideways and I can’t see the edges because of the app information on the page. Back to 4-star. Still not 5. :(

UPDATE: MARCH 2022. Not sure what they did with this app. When I open it up, the documents are all rotated and it takes a bad photo, not a true scan. It looks like a 15th generation photocopy from the 80s. Will not use again unless they fix it. If an update was done recently, it was a bad move. OLD REVIEW: I have an iPad so I love the ability to create accurate, quick PDF files anytime, anywhere. The app auto-selects the document and instantly creates a PDF. Within 15 seconds I have it moved to my personal folders on my iPad. Love this app!!

*2021-08-03, version 3.4.1*

Great app for business or anything that you want to save.

### 5/5 — Fantastic.

*2021-07-04*

The program does just what it supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. It's my favorite of about three that I've tried before.
I've been using it for a couple months now, and will continue from here on out. Thanks for a great product!

### 5/5 — One and done

*2021-06-22*

Fast, accurate, no problems.

### 4/5 — Works well.

*2021-05-14, version 3.3.1*

I would recommend a look.

### 5/5 — Recent update - app almost perfect!

*2021-04-29*

With the last update this app works perfectly. It’s great thank you for fixing all the issues. 5 Stars! Update: this is an update after working with this app for twenty minutes. It now appears to be working fine. It just took a while to download and an additional 5 to 10 minutes to select the pro version. It was very frustrating. I have not actually use the app because it was too much work to begin with. I will only give it four stars just for the aggravation I had to put up with. But I am hopeful that will work okay. (1st review: I downloaded the app because it was free with a free lifetime pass but after it was downloaded it would not open. It would not let me select it to delete. I had to go through the phones system to delete. After deleting re-downloaded the app and it still wouldn’t open. I will not try it again, DELETE!!)

**Developer response:** Hi dah-NEES, I'm glad to hear that this issue has been resolved. Thanks for being awesome and updating your review to reflect the correct functioning of the app. Would you kindly take a moment and update the title of your review as well? :) Please contact me at support@scanstudio.app if you would like to discuss further.

### 5/5 — Toooo good

*2021-04-27, version 3.3.0*

A must to have this app

### 5/5 — Best scan tool ever

*2021-04-22, version 3.2.4*

Worth the 9.99. Love it

### 5/5 — Anon

*2021-04-22, version 3.2.4*

Found the app on app advice, been using it for a while now. Very easy to use for basic requirements. For the extra features though could you please provide a guide? Otherwise I love the app.

### 5/5 — PDF Scan Studio

*2021-04-21, version 3.2.4*

very useful tool, works very well, nice design, quick and easy scanning results excellent.

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2021-04-21, version 3.2.4*

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great app, does its job perfectly.

*2021-04-21*

A perfect app which achieves its task automatically and intelligently without any hassle. Just focus your camera over a well exposed paper document lying over a flat surface and rest of the work will be done by this app. At the end one need to choose the format they want to export either document format .PDF or image format .JPG. 

Developers did a great job to build this app and achieved automaticity within app which is near to perfection yet app needs to learn a lot more. I hope and wish this app to learn and grow by maintaining this simplicity and automaticity.

### 1/5 — Mostly just a Toy

*2022-07-07, version 5.6.0*

This is fine for scanning single pages but as soon as you want to scan a multi-page document this app is extremely slow and frequently exits so that you need to start again. It has the look and feel of a scanning app but it is really just a toy.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-05-19*

I had some difficulties with every function and this does not work or have OCR function like shown. I had scanned App does not do what is shown in the video and can’t convert documents or export and ask for every view every time the app is launched. Do not buy!
 and saved files and they disappeared so this app  malfunctions and I’m deleting it

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you decided to leave a negative review which is completely false - just take a look at all of the other positive reviews. The app has an OCR function, it exports to PDFs, files are saved correctly and the app works just fine. I do not believe your review to be genuine, however if you are encountering issues then please contact us at support@scanstudio.app to see if we can help.

### 1/5 — Needs internet connection every time to restore purchase

*2021-02-15*

Need to fix this because I am not able to use the software when I am not connected to the internet. Keeps telling me to purchase, when I already have a paid version. It’s only when I connect to the internet that it works.

**Developer response:** Hi Barazor, this issue has been fixed in Scan Studio 3.2.0. Please upgrade to the latest version. I would like to know your feedback on this issue, please contact me at support@scanstudio.app. I hope you will consider changing your review/rating once you are satisfied that the issue is resolved :)

### 1/5 — Basic scanner

*2021-02-05, version 3.1.0*

This is just a camera without doing the $10 upgrade. So maybe don’t waste your storage space if you are thinking of replacing what you already have.

### 1/5 — App refuses to load

*2021-02-03, version 3.1.0*

Downloaded several times and it won’t load on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Abusive Pricing

*2020-12-28, version 3.0.3*

Seriously, 26$ USD per year or 5$ USD per month for for a "scan", come on guy's, this is an abusive pricing! No way I will buy it at this pricing and as a subscription, never!

### 1/5 — Seriously another subscription model

*2020-12-28, version 3.0.3*

I can’t believe a basic app wants subscription fees. What’s the deal with the App Store lately. Not everything is worthy of paying subscriptions but everything wants you to pay for everything for life as if we owe taxes on what should just be a purchase.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2020-12-28, version 3.0.3*

It’s a money grabbing scam

### 4/5 — 在那找设置中文

*2025-01-30, version 7.0.11*

在那找设置中文

### 4/5 — Good. Just one tweak.

*2022-10-02, version 6.1.0*

It’s a good app. I got it in an offer. One small issue, when you manually crop you can’t see where you’re cropping because your thumbs cover the ‘handles’. Developer advised to upgrade to Scan Studio 6, however I’m unable to find that in the App Store.
