### 5/5 — Easy scanning/ saving

*2025-10-04*

Very easy scanning and saving on my iPhone.  I use it a couple of times a week. Very satisfied

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-05-07*

I simply love it 😊 
Sad to see a REQUIREMENT IOS on this that wasn’t beforehand.  iPhones can’t be upgraded every year even middle class is eat up with taxes and inflation on their dollars.  Hope you’re not going to drop support for us that CANNOT update to iOS 16.

### 5/5 — Does one thing very well

*2024-08-01*

Simple, fast, and good to use doc scanning. Really nothing else to say.

### 5/5 — Great scanner

*2024-05-05*

I get nice, clear scans with this App that are easy to save, convert or share. I haven’t been able to use the auto scan feature, the App starts snapping images before I can get it lined up properly. I’d like the option to turn off auto scan in the settings if possible.

**Developer response:** Hello thanks for the review!

The app uses scanner component provided by the system and it seems the only way to turn off the Auto mode is only when scanner is active. You can tap the "Auto" in the top right and it should switch to "Manual" for the session.

I will look again whether this is something that could be added to app's settings instead.

Best,
Filip

### 5/5 — Absolut klasse

*2024-03-25, version 3.1.6*

Macht was es soll, einfach, schnell und ohne viel unnötige features. Nutze die App täglich und bin sehr zufrieden.

### 4/5 — nice

*2023-09-02*

Very useful APP, thank you!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-05-01, version 3.1.1*

Does the job simply without fuss or features you will probably never use. Just does the scan saves it to pdf then save print or file away.

### 5/5 — Like it

*2023-03-23, version 3.1.1*

Very useful and simple.

### 5/5 — Great App.

*2023-02-12, version 3.1.0*

This is a great App very useful, straight forward and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Bom!

*2023-01-18*

App prático, rápido e tem um dos melhores OCR dentre os infinitos apps de scan que já testei. Mas falha na compressão do pdf, pois perde muita qualidade, sem permitir o ajuste dela e não tem um filtro de contraste tão legal.
