### 2/5 — Log in daily!

*2026-08-21, version 3.2.4*

this would be a really great app if I didn’t have to log in again to Evernote almost every time I open the app!

### 1/5 — Was good, now paywalled

*2026-05-19, version 3.2.4*

The app has been ensh**ified with a paywall to have the ability to save scans locally. Ridiculous this isn’t included in the Evernote subscription (I’m a paying EN subscriber). Time to vote with my wallet move off Evernote for good. So long Evernote, after almost 20 years. Shame you don’t treat your customers better. Bye.

### 2/5 — Well used to be great now just good

*2026-05-13, version 3.2.4*

I use this in conjunction with their sister app Evernote. Scanner works well and integrates with Evernote. I’m paying more for my Evernote but some how the features I used to enjoy are t available without an additional subscription

### 1/5 — Been horrid since Evernote acquired it

*2026-05-07, version 3.2.4*

They make it deliberately so much worse than it used to be. Before I could just scan some pictures and send them to myself and now it’s all locked behind horrible Evernote paywall multi app dysfunction. It’s a no from me dawg.

### 3/5 — Updates Changed Everything

*2026-04-30, version 3.2.4*

I used to love this app. Somehow through app updates it has turned from an incredibly useful app to a complete headache. First, I am constantly being logged out of Evernote, which by itself isn’t the issue, except it takes two to three attempts to sign back in. Second, every time I’m logged out of Evernote it seems to change my default settings from pdf capture to auto capture. It doesn’t seem like a big deal except it starts to capture as a photo and 90% of what I use it for is capturing receipts to upload into our book keeping software, which only accepts pdf format. Unfortunately it goes unnoticed for extended amounts of time. This takes away any convenience this app has since I now have to either recapture all the receipts or I have to upload and convert outside of the app. Disappointing to say the least. The more I use it the less hopeful I am for its future usefulness.

### 1/5 — No business card contact export

*2026-04-23, version 3.2.4*

Evernote quit supporting auto export of business card scans to contacts, although it still touts it as a selling point.  This app is now useless. Also, important question, why is this app necessary as an Evernote subscriber?  There’s already a scan app within Evernote?  This is a redundant app only meant to help promote Evernote in the App Store when people are searching for scan apps.

### 1/5 — Помойка

*2026-04-23, version 3.2.4*

Позволяет сохранить только в Evernote.
Помойка полная!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-26, version 3.2.4*

horrible!  the jpeg and pdf saving functions mix up all the time

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-03-25, version 3.2.4*

Long time user of Scannable and today I can’t email my scans to myself anymore - forced to use Evernote, stuck in a loop with no other options!!!! Thanks and goodbye - utter garbage :-(

### 1/5 — Everything is now behind a paywall

*2026-03-22, version 3.2.4*

Long time user and went to use the app today and suddenly everything is behind a paywall. Will be deleting the app soon.

### 1/5 — Subscription model to share document

*2026-03-19, version 3.2.4*

Greedy stupid software. Some stupid CEO decided to guard BASIC functionality behind a subscription model. I hate 2026.

### 1/5 — You have to pay to save now

*2026-03-05, version 3.2.4*

You have to pay to save your scans now

### 1/5 — Useless now

*2026-03-02, version 3.2.4*

To use your scans you have to download yet another app.

### 1/5 — Sharing your scans is now a premium feature

*2026-02-11, version 3.2.4*

You can’t share or send a scam unless you pay. This is basic stuff that used to be free, and is now behind a paywall.

### 1/5 — Horrible change

*2026-02-05, version 3.2.4*

There was no reason for them to join up with Evernote. This app is no longer usable.

### 2/5 — Recurring issue

*2026-01-25, version 3.2.4*

App works well if you want to scan into Evernote but not so good to email or text.  Is an option if you pay, should be included as Evernote member cut there is a malfunction which has existed for years

### 1/5 — New pay wall

*2026-01-19, version 3.2.4*

Just continuing to show disappointment from another user in how they have forced integration with a second app or a pay wall. Used to be my go to for scanning and now will be finding an alternative.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Another good app ruined

*2026-08-25, version 3.2.4*

Used to be incredibly useful, you could email scans of a page to yourself. Now all options to export are locked behind a pay wall and it gives you a ton of ads for their other app. Uninstalled immediately. Just use Microsoft lens instead. It’s also riddled with annoying ads for their premium plan but at least it actually lets you export

### 1/5 — Update renders it unusable

*2026-08-20, version 3.2.4*

Older version was working just fine.  New version, which I was forced to download to keep using the app, no longer allows me to share a single document; it’s all docs or nothing.  So I’m paying for Evernote and can no longer use the scanning app that’s supposed to pair with it.

### 1/5 — Don’t Subscribe

*2026-06-23, version 3.2.4*

I subscribed so I could save my documents in more ways, specifically to my camera roll. Tried repeatedly to do so, no saved images. Canceled.

### 1/5 — Should not have to sign in to save files

*2026-06-11, version 3.2.4*

Terrible app. Would not recommend. They let you scan the files but when you want to save them or share them you have to sign in to do anything. And they want you to pay to save them directly on your phone

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-10, version 3.2.4*

This app is trash

### 1/5 — Booo no more sendable scans

*2026-06-08, version 3.2.4*

Severly dislike once I found out I can’t auto-export and send and have to use the silly Evernote app

### 1/5 — Forced to pay to download photos

*2026-06-05, version 3.2.4*

Absolutely gross they have decided to monetize every last aspect of this app. If you want to use the app now, you have to give your data away to Evernote so they can sell it to 3rd party vendors and/or retain valuable, sensitive data for years- or you have to PAY to download to your photo album. Do better.

### 1/5 — Used to be incredible

*2026-06-04, version 3.2.4*

Used to be an incredible and life saving app, for free. Then I updated and it’s trying to charge 2.99 a week to use the useful features. Highly disappointed.

### 1/5 — Useless without the additional app

*2026-06-04, version 3.2.4*

This is not a stand-alone app and is not useful unless you download an extra app to be able to move your documents off of the app

### 1/5 — Scammable

*2026-05-29, version 3.2.4*

The app says you can open your app for free in Evernote but you cannot . So they let you waste time scanning a large file to coerce you to pay or you can’t access it.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — GWCanada

*2026-06-01, version 3.2.4*

It is the best phone scanner that I’ve ever used and I’ve used it for a long time and it is 100% reliable can’t say enough good things it’s great

### 5/5 — Greatest app ever created!

*2026-05-20, version 3.2.4*

I say that every time I use this app. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great app!

### 5/5 — Nothings free…

*2026-03-20, version 3.2.4*

Great app. Pay no attention to the 1-star reviews who think everything should be free.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-04*

Easy and fast to create a pdf document!

### 5/5 — Error

*2025-06-10, version 3.2.4*

Recently this fantastic app is repeatedly crashing on my iPhone and won’t work anymore!!! Why??!!!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2025-06-08, version 3.2.4*

I love this app. It came in clutch when I was attending college. Worth the download!

### 5/5 — Love it but help me please

*2025-05-31, version 3.2.4*

East and simple to use.  Although i made an account. Where can i wee my scanned items? There not on my camera roll, where are they saved ? Please help if you can.

### 5/5 — Cb

*2025-04-03, version 3.2.4*

I used to be able to sit to send emails directly from the scannable app and now it needs me to sign into another app. Not convenient to use anymore.

### 5/5 — Why do I have to sign in every day?

*2025-03-23, version 3.2.4*

I've been using this app since it first came out and it's mostly been great. Indeed it works better than ever. BUT, for the past few weeks it's been requiring me to sign in every time I use it, like every day or more often. I have a paid, premium Evernote account. It used to be seamless to use Scannable, now my work is interrupted by frequent sign in requests. Please end this nonsense!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-03-12, version 3.2.4*

To everyone complaining it’s not working just download the Evernote app and link them it works fine.
