### 5/5 — Beyond Happy

*2026-02-24, version 10.0.0*

InstaPDF is one of those products that has worked 100% of the time, over the last 3+ years that we’ve been using it. A very worthwhile tool.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-29, version 9.9.2*

This app is wonderful for household receipts. I use it constantly. It has saved me several times when my paper receipt disappeared.

### 5/5 — THE BEST —- GET IT!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-05-11, version 9.3*

Easy to use and realigns crooked shots to have correct page alignment. Very useful!

### 1/5 — Und wieder Cloud und Account-Zwang

*2022-04-22, version 9.3*

Warum immer alles nur mit Cloud sein muss, sei mal dahingestellt. Aber kann man bitte schön nicht reinschreiben, dass für die Nutzung der drölfhunderste Account angelegt werden muss um die App überhaupt nutzen zu können? Und dass die App keine Daten sammelt ist ja vollkommen Wurst, die Dokumente gehen ja in die Cloud. Es nervt mich maßlos dass ich das immer erst dann sehen kann, wenn ich die APPs erst installiert habe. Hier sollte Apple einen Zwang zur Angabe einführen.
