### 4/5 — おおむね満足も改善の余地あり

*2025-04-02*

類似のアプリの無料版の機能が著しく制限されたのでこちらに移行。使いやすくて概ね満足していますが、不便な点もあります。

・アプリを起動するといきなりカメラが起動される（画像の編集などをしたい場合もあるので）
・画面上部の項目（画像タイトル、PDF、三点リーダーのボタンなど）が、白背景に白字で非常に見づらい
・スキャンした画像をエクスポート→カメラロールに保存すると、順序が逆になる（文書を画像化する場合結構困る）

このあたりが改善されてほしいです。

### 5/5 — PocketScanner

*2022-06-29*

Easy and accurate

### 5/5 — Very Handy!

*2021-12-13*

We've used it for genealogical research at the library - much easier than transcribing census records, and cheaper than making copies at the library.

I also use it when doing legal research at the library for catching snippets from case law or other references.

Only problem we’ve had was when trying to import large sets of images from the Photo Library, but importing 5-6 images at a time is generally fine.

**Developer response:** Hello Rick, thank you for being so supportive! We love to hear you are enjoying our app. :D

### 1/5 — findet man nichts

*2025-07-08*

trotz angemeldet sein und gescannt und bestätigt kein einziges Dokument

### 1/5 — Kdan turned this app into trash

*2025-06-02, version 6.6.3*

I have purchased creativity suite on my apple id but now kdan added another pay wall of pro version and turned all its apps into trash what a greediness this is simply byecott this kind of sellers and developers

### 1/5 — L’idea è buona ma

*2018-09-24, version 5.9*

App con molte potenzialità ma il problema che ho trovato è quello di non poter trasformare in pdf o trasferire sul kdan cloud più di 120 pagine insieme. È davvero scomodo se si deve scannerizzare un libro. Un altro problema è che continuano a sparire pagine o apparire pagine bianche e si cancellano da sole intere cartelle. Non merita più di 1 stella per come è adesso.

### 1/5 — 初步使用功能還算完整，有一功能希望能追加

*2016-05-20, version 5.2*

透過iTune 將電腦file add to scanner 能開啓所有不同格式的檔案，但當電腦的檔案有增加或減少，下次同步時並無法自動更改，目前必須再重新將電腦file add to scanner 才可更新，希望能改善在每次同步後，電腦所做的更改會同時更新。

### 1/5 — Ужас!

*2016-01-27*

Не даёт просматривать фалы, требует регистрацию, а после регистрации выходит из аккаунта и все повторяется.

### 1/5 — Verlangt ein "Account"...

*2015-09-14*

Gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Unusable app

*2015-09-11, version 5.0*

Terrible quality scan photo of documents. Creates unreadable scans. Unusable app. Zero stars. Had to give it one to submit review, though.

### 1/5 — Ruined by update, I'm deleting this app

*2015-08-04, version 5.0*

Such a shame to see what they've done to this great little app. I used it for years, even recommended to my friends. I guess they weren't making enough money so they are trying to find a way to squeeze more out, which is their right. Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Valeria

*2014-11-15, version 1.1.3*

I like this app cause it lets you take pictures "or scan

### 1/5 — Pocket scanner

*2014-06-27, version 1.1.3*

This app requires that I allow them to see and/or use everything that I scan. That is not acceptable . I have no idea how secure this app is or how safe my scans are from prying eyes. If I scan a check, all of the info on the check ie; acct number, my name, address is all is available to see.
