### 5/5 — Tiny Scanner App

*2025-05-29, version 6.2*

I run a small business, this tool is very handy for writing and emailing orders straight from the job. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Fix this app

*2025-02-11*

Go and check out the other apps that are better than yours and make this one the beSt!

### 1/5 — Very poor in automatic alignment pages & OCR

*2025-02-08*

1) This is very poor in auto scan and marking borders in auto scan
2) Very poor in detecting OCR
3) There are no pre scan formats like document , certificate  etc
4) It doesn’t support Google drive, OneDrive and Dropbox
5 ) There are editing options like colour changing ,
marking etc
6) Very poor file management 
I regret for paying Rs.799 in haste to remove ads and there is no refund. I mistakenly install it thinking that it is original Tinyscanner developed by Tiny works

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-07-31*

Works

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 2/5 — Works beautifully on my ipad but not at all my iphone

*2023-08-03*

I’m sure I’m missing something, but I have no idea how to fix it. When I tap on SCAN, a button to take a photo of a page shows up, but the page I’m trying to scan isn’t there. In fact, all that’s there is a black screen. I need this app to work on my phone more than I need it for my ipad.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that the camera is not working for you. Could you please check your phone settings to ensure that Camera access for the Tiny Scanner app is turned ON?

Here's how you can do that:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your phone.
2. Type "Tiny Scanner" in the search bar at the top.
3. Tap on "Tiny Scanner" from the results.
4. Confirm that the Camera option is toggled ON.

Please consider updating your rating if this solution resolves the issue for you!

Thanks

### 5/5 — Perfect scanner!

*2023-06-15*

Sometimes you need to scan something on the go! This is a great app to do so!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that our app is a great solution for your on-the-go scanning needs. We designed it with convenience in mind, so you can easily scan anytime, anywhere. If you have any other comments or suggestions, feel free to share them with us. We appreciate your support!

### 5/5 — Great little scanner

*2023-06-15*

I have used several scanners in my life, but this one is the best I have seen. Not only that, but it is free. It has automatic page sensors, so you don’t have to worry about centering the page. I can’t recommend it high enough.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you find our scanner app to be the best you've come across. We take pride in offering a free and user-friendly experience, including automatic page sensors for your convenience. Your recommendation means a lot to us. If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Happy scanning!

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2022-09-06*

It appears you have to have a second app to actually email scanned documents. If so, it’s a royal pain to use & kind of pointless.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. It actually doesn't need a second app, but you need to connect your phone to your email through Apple Accounts. This is because it needs to be sent from a valid email address. Alternatively, you can share the scanned docs using any social apps installed on your phone. Hope this helps.

If this was helpful, please consider changing your rating. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Tiny scanner.

*2022-07-15, version 2.8*

This is a great app. Period

### 5/5 — Much better transmission of photographs and literature

*2022-06-16, version 2.8*

I gave the tiny scanner five stars because it’s very effective and easy to use.  Quality of things copied and sent by email or amazing.
