There may be more benefits that I haven’t figured out yet. **Developer response:** Thanks for your great feedback. We totally understand your concern and will try to come up with a solution to improve First Time User Experience. Glad to hear that you like the app! ### 5/5 — Love OCR feature *2019-12-20, version 1.1* The new OCR feature is very handy and works pretty well on most of the documents. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Craaaap *2021-03-17, version 1.8* Absolute bull! Went through the effort to scan a 70 page booklet and it didn’t even export. All that effort for nothing. 0 stars! ### 1/5 — Export feature doesn’t work *2021-01-17* Scanned and tried to export and share by email- never got the email. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We found that there were some corner cases where export was feature was not working properly. We have fixed the issue in our latest release. Could you please verify it? And then update your rating please? ### 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 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Review *2022-03-08, version 2.5* Good easy to understand program but I find that the automatic camera operates too fast not allowing time to focus manually ### 4/5 — I am learning as I go *2022-01-11, version 2.4* So far so good ### 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.
