### 1/5 — Did work once than hanged

*2025-12-14*

Did work once. Second scan did die while message:" .capturing "

Game over, removed :(

### 1/5 — Détection hs

*2025-10-28, version 1.13.0*

Malheureusement plus rien de fonctionne correctement.
 Malgré réinstallation.  L’application ne veut plus recadrer automatiquement. Elle prend une photo et reste sur capture….

### 1/5 — Fails to work

*2025-10-27, version 1.13.0*

Running on iPhone 13 Pro iOS 26.0.1. Pressing the green button just hangs and never progresses. 
Running on iPad Air 3 also on 26.0.1, takes picture, but app closes when trying to alter the contrast.

### 1/5 — App Breaking Bug

*2025-10-21*

This app has been good to me up until a few months ago. Unfortunately, this bug makes this app unusable. When I try to take a photo, the screen says “capturing” as usual but then stops loading and never continues. I have to leave the app. It doesn’t matter how long I wait or what I press. Even closing the app out and trying to take a picture again won’t work. I thought it might be a storage issue so I deleted ~10 pictures. It actually worked, but only that time. This happens every single time I open the app no matter how many times I delete pictures. I am now running out of pictures and I don’t think this will stop.

### 2/5 — Está travando

*2025-03-08*

O app trava ao tentar selecionar os efeitos (testado em iPhone 8+ e iPhone 16)

### 2/5 — Need too much improvement

*2024-12-23*

Even the basic features are not working properly.

**Developer response:** I am really sorry to hear that. It would help a lot if you could report issues you are facing here https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner/issues

### 4/5 — Gut aber verbesserungsbedürftig

*2024-11-13*

Ich habe das Problem bei meinem iPhone 12 Pro Max das die Auflösung der Buttons sehr klein ist. Bei meinem iPhone 12 mini sehen die Buttons gut aus. Wenn man das noch behebt gibt’s 5⭐️

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Will test on iPhone 12 Pro Max and fix it!

### 4/5 — Great App! OSS too!

*2024-09-25*

I’m very excited to see this scanner app. The functionality is quite impressive.

In comparison to an app like Scanner Pro, some flourish and integrations are missing at this time (e.g. workflows or iOS Shortcuts, various cloud or note sync options). However, it’s a very decent replacement and I can see the frequency of app updates and the enhancements so I know that this app will only get better with time.

One thing I noticed was the black and white scanning doesn’t clean up as well as it would in Scanner Pro. Any shadows on a simple typed letter will scan like an old photocopier with dark shading across the page. 

Maybe some better auto and manual contrast and brightness, degauss etc tools would help with this.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review.
Yes "B&W" filter is far from perfect. I have yet to find a good algorithm to do that. Will keep searching!

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-07-23*

Best

### 5/5 — Funktional und gut

*2026-03-30*

Tut was er soll, nach der Einstellung von Microsoft Lens war ich auf der Suche nach einer Alternative, dies bietet die App, ist dazu noch europäisch 🇪🇺

Sie bietet alle notwendigen Funktionen, man kann direkt mehrere Blätter in ein pdf scannen, sie aufhellen und die Ränder erkennt sie auch automatisch. Deshalb 5/5 Sterne.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2025-07-08, version 1.12.5*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Rapide, efficace

*2025-06-18, version 1.12.5*

Ça fait ce qu’on lui demande sans pub et gratuitement !
Est-ce qu’il est prévu d’avoir une feature pour synchroniser les données sur un NAS / Cloud?
Cordialement.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2025-01-10*

It's free, it's truly open-source, and it eorks as expected. Developer(s), thank you very much!!!

### 5/5 — ماسح وثائق ممتاز

*2024-10-21*

ماسح وثائق ممتاز بدون أي إعلانات. تستطيع حتى مسح وثائق انطلاقا من صور.
