If I’m going to buy an OCR app, I want to see how it performs before I buy it. Garbage business model. ### 1/5 — Very Poor *2023-07-26* As download it from the App Store, it is extremely limited in its functionality. It will allow you only to take a picture/scan of the text. It will not allow you to move the text or apply OCR or even copy the text for insertion in a word processing document. there is insufficient functionality to actually see if this app is worth purchasing. As a potential purchaser, I would like to have some reasonable assurance that the app will do what I need it to do. To unlock the app for a period of one month costs $10. There is no disclosed policy for a refund if the app is discovered to be in adequate for the task. I do not think the 4.7 rating makes it worth the potential loss of $10. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-07-23* I tried to email a scanned document and the person never received it. There is no notice to let you know if it ever went through. How do I get my money back. ### 1/5 — Crap *2023-03-10* This app is crap ### 2/5 — Scanner *2023-03-04* Images aren’t clear ### 1/5 — Not useful unless you pay *2023-02-20, version 1.3.38* Very misleading.You cannotDo anything with the file unless you pay. ### 1/5 — rip off *2023-02-19* what’s the point of scanning documents when you want to charge you to upload them anywhere from the app… oh and they don’t say that until after you’ve wasted your time scanning multiple pages of documents ### 1/5 — Terrible. Nothing free *2023-02-13* No good ### 1/5 — Terrible software *2023-01-24* Hard to believe a simple scanner app could be this bad. In a brief period of use, here are things that already irritated me no end: 1. Keeps switching to “auto” mode by itself, keeps snapping pics even when not intended. 2. Keeps randomised document names during pdf share even after documents have been renamed during creation 3. Terrible image quality, over exposed etc. I literally have no idea how this could happen despite using a recent model iPhone that has an excellent camera 4. Popup asking for app review literally every time one shares a created document. I paid very little for it, but regret buying it. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2022-10-19* Awful!! Don’t bother wasting your money ### 1/5 — Misleading *2022-10-14* Yes this app is free to download, but if you want to use it at all it will cost $20, a good deal considering these fools think this app is actually worth $300. Scummy scammy people. ### 3/5 — Scanner *2022-10-09, version 1.2.33* Good for the odd page, not very useful for larger documents. Rather inflexible and difficult to edit. No PDF option. ### 1/5 — Cannot find where the scanned is saved *2022-09-24* Bad stuf ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything *2025-05-22, version 1.3.232* Unless you can afford to buy it don’t even download you need money to download the scan or even send it anywhere ### 1/5 — Unfortunately, can’t give 0 stars *2025-05-09* Trash. I saw on the way to edit the document. Also, I scanned it, but I can’t find it. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — Out of order *2025-03-16* Ne fonctionne pas correctement ### 1/5 — Don’t download this app *2024-09-01* Don’t waste your time with this app. Download you a FREE scan app that everything this does but, at no cost. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-08-30* Not working ### 1/5 — Hard to manage size of paper *2024-04-16* Some fonctionnality are missing ### 1/5 — They ripping off people *2023-12-14, version 1.3.135* It’s not easy to be used ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-12-12* If you’re looking for a free scanner app this isn’t it. You can scan for free but you can’t share the document without upgrading. That would have been good to know before I wasted my time downloading this. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2023-11-23* App doesn’t email your document or scan to a normal pdf. ### 1/5 — Poor Cannot Share *2023-10-30* Must upgrade to $20 version to share a doc!? Really. You pdf to share - right? Trying another app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Household *2025-06-18* Excellent it help me a lot for imigracion documents forward copies ### 5/5 — Cancel subscription *2024-09-15* How to cancel my subscription ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-10-13* So easy to use and does a great job! ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2022-08-15* App works great! Truly impressed ### 5/5 — Read me *2022-08-12* Okay first things first. The basic app. It’s amazing! I tried a bunch of similar apps, but only here the developers have done a really good job 👍. This is the best scanner I have ever used. But there’s more. This app is super easy to understand and manage 😌. The most convenient file storage system in the app. it's just top 🔝, I've never seen anything like it! You can add a signature to the scanned document ✍️, this is really very convenient. Overall great app. I have recommended it to friends and I’ll recommend it here. 10/10 awesome 💪💪💪 ### 5/5 — Poweful app *2022-03-07* This app is faithful in your promises. This is the better scan and ocr app in the world. ### 5/5 — Scanne *2022-02-25* Dommage pas en français ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-02-25, version 1.3.43* Very easy to use ### 4/5 — Satisfactory *2022-08-23, version 1.2.4* Satisfactory ### 4/5 — Scanner reconnaissance du document *2022-07-20* Application rapide et simple d’utilisation, peu gourmande en mémoire dans le téléphone.
