When trying to move the knobs, it kept thinking I was trying to leave the app. ### 3/5 — Ok *2017-11-22* It’s perfect ### 4/5 — Doc scan *2017-11-22* Pls insert document scan for black & white scan **Developer response:** Go to PhotoScan settings and choose Document Scanner Mode. All the scans will appear B/W by default. ### 2/5 — Forced To Do This *2017-06-28* I won't lay final judgement but the app forced me to rate it so I may use the highlighting feature. Bad form guys. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, not anymore! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good app! *2017-04-18* I like it ### 3/5 — Good app, but use should not be conditioned to whether one writes a review or not. *2016-11-07, version 4.5* Good app, but use should not be conditioned to whether one writes a review or not. ### 3/5 — Seems ok *2016-08-19, version 4.5* Haven't really used it much, wants a review before using some features first. ### 5/5 — Loved it *2016-07-23* Beautiful capturing... I would live to see ability to scan multiple images and send as single file. ### 5/5 — PhotoScan Pro *2016-05-26, version 4.5* This app works well on my iPhone 5s and the ability to upload to Mega cloud services means the PDFs are waiting for me when I get home. A great app if you need to scan docs or receipts when travelling. ### 3/5 — Needs Improvement *2016-04-29* I needed to scan in a very large well and with just the first page I had problems with the application reading the whole page which is an 8.5 x 11 so there should be no issues. In order to get everything I had to take three separate photos. Using this application for photos is a lot easier and works well. An easier layout and a better UI is definitely needed. Not knowing which button to push when all you need to push is scanned to get back to your photos may not be so easy for a first-time user. Overall, the application is useful and can be helpful but it needs work and could be made a lot nicer and more user-friendly. Hopefully, within an update or two that will be done and I can change my rating to a five star rating. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, we fixed issues and added more features! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-10-07, version 5.5.3* Open the camera and it crashes. Pointless. ### 1/5 — confusing interface *2017-11-26* No help or hints, and an interface that is tough to figure out. What does the “diamond” filter do? I couldnt tell you ### 1/5 — How to delete unwanted folders *2017-11-26* The # of folders is just crazy. How to delete unwanted folders? I found the option to rename, but it is not the point. again, the # of folders is just crazy. **Developer response:** You can easily reorganize folders by renaming. ### 1/5 — Scam *2017-11-25* Purchased the app for $4 then you reach maximum free scan. Then you have to purchase another $3. Crappy app. **Developer response:** Please contact support through the PhotoScan info screen, and we will help you to solve the problem. ### 1/5 — Just started using *2017-05-01* Can't rate yet, but being forced to by app. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, not anymore! Thank you! ### 1/5 — User *2016-11-20, version 4.5* The app does not work. After scanning, it lets you edit, but you can't save your work. It certainly doesn't operate as depicted in the app description. It is a complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Вылет *2016-09-03* iPad Air v.7.1.2 вылетает после загрузки ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-06-29* I downloaded this app a couple of months ago but didn't try to use it until today. The photo scan worked great. I was able to crop and edit just fine. Then....no options to save, share, email etc are available. All I could do was discard the scanned pic or continue to edit. At this point the app is not useful. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, we fixed that issue and added more features! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Has a Problem *2016-05-12, version 4.5* Has a Problem ### 1/5 — Not working iOS 7 and no reply *2016-04-18, version 4.5* Downloaded a couple of times just crashes out. No response either. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-11-06, version 5.5.3* Works very well. Upgrade to pro is free😃 Great features.
