This app may be fine, but…

Their Mac app is impossible to buy, and their support is non-existent

Kalifornia UI…..Whitespace Uber Alles!!

OCR my rear end

Well, the app doesn’t scan good enough to make the scan searchable. Waste of my money.

Une seule page par jour à scanner

Bonne application que J’a apprécié pendant une longue durée. Le modèle économique du développeur impose malheureusement la possibilité de scanner gratuitement une et une seule page par jour.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and rating. Please note it's still possible to use the main app's features including exporting your scans by email without paying. Indeed, with our free plan, if you have already used up the trial set of 3 scans, you can continue working with the app by creating one scan per day for free. If you have any questions or suggestions concerning the app functionality, please contact us at mobile_support@abbyy.com.

Abstürze beim iPhone 16 Pro

Auf meinem iPhone SE 2 und Vorgängern war diese App spitze. Das hat sich völlig verändert, seitdem ich sie auf einem iPhone 16 Pro nutze. Seit über einem Jahr ist diese App für eine Seite mit Einschränkungen zu nutzen, sobald ich mehrere Seiten scannen möchte, kommt ein Absturz dazwischen und ich muss von vorne anfangen. Nach dem Absturz sind die bereits gescannten Seiten wieder vorhanden, es können aber keine weiteren Seiten hinzugefügt werden. Gut, bei einer Seite lästig und ärgerlich, bei mehreren Seiten eine Zumutung. Wenn ich schnell bin, schaffe ich bis zu drei Seiten in mehreren Anläufen. Mehr Seiten sind nicht zu schaffen, da ich nach jedem Absturz neu anfangen muss. Dies ist nicht die einzige App, die mit der Umstellung auf das iPhone 16 Pro Probleme zeigte, alle anderen Entwickler haben ihre Apps jedoch nachgebessert, so dass ich sie heute nutzen kann. Bei dieser App ist das bislang nicht erfolgt. Das ist besonders schade, da die neue Vorschau – App von Apple bei einem bestehenden Foto nur einen rechteckigen und keinen individuellen Zuschnitt erlaubt.
