### 5/5 — Best scanner

*2023-02-22*

I tried many different scanners, overall, this one is the best, it’s high quality, easy to use

### 1/5 — It Work.. BUT!!

*2021-09-03*

It will scan but when doc is saved, you can’t find it in files or documents folders outside of the app. Also cannot send scans to other apps making this app useless.

### 3/5 — Not happy with this scanner

*2020-05-08*

It scans ok but i can't send it in a email.
I keep trying.  That's important to me since I'm working remotely from home. Maybe I'll figure it out. 
Would not recommend

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2016-08-18, version 4.3*

Does what it says on the tin! 😃

### 2/5 — Últimamente no esta funcionando

*2016-06-14*

En las últimas semanas no puedo enviar por correo electrónico los documentos escaneados. Favor arreglar esto. Gracias

### 4/5 — It works

*2016-01-19*

I've used this many times. It isn't perfect, but when you need to get a document digitized and don't have a scanner, it's great. It is only as good as the photo, so things like glossy paper can be a problem. It is quicker and easier than a traditional scanner.

### 1/5 — Disappearing Documents

*2015-10-27*

Complete GARBAGE. 
Scanned over 50 pages of documents into 3 folders. 
2 hours later all folders show 0 pages.

### 5/5 — Absolutely astonished

*2015-08-11, version 4.0*

Tried scanning something for nearly an hour with my PC - used this app and got it done in 5 minutes. It needs some serious beautifying but other than that I'm more than happy to upgrade..... If they wanna tell us for how much of course....

### 5/5 — Nice tool!

*2015-03-01*

Very clear. I like it

### 5/5 — Exelente

*2014-10-27*

Exelente
