### 4/5 — 。

*2020-06-16*

都限免了还有广告

### 3/5 — مشکل دارم

*2019-08-03, version 1.6.6*

فایل هایی که اسکن کردم نمیتوانم ذخیره کنم.

### 2/5 — In app purchases??

*2019-06-11, version 1.6.6*

A pdf scanning app that isn’t normally free has in app purchases...WHYYYYYY???

### 2/5 — Paid $4 for app with ads

*2019-05-20, version 1.6.6*

why all the popups?  I paid for this!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-05-04, version 1.6.6*

Does not capture entire page. Area to be scanned wiggles— doesn’t remain steady to capture what one needs to capture despite holding phone very steady. Tried many different kinds of documents. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Monthly charges on paypal after 1 year

*2019-04-09, version 1.6.6*

For some reason I started getting charged 5.40 everymonth, this app is the only one I have with that same amount when I bought it.

### 1/5 — Awful, no directions on how to use

*2019-03-18*

Figured I’d do a quick photo, convert to pdf then email pdf. Camera operation to get the photo straight is a nightmare, then I did 2 photos and no way to delete one and keep one . No help, no directions. Then I save and I haven’t clue one where it is.  This app is horrible.

### 2/5 — Moyen!

*2019-03-16*

Pas de connexion vers des comptes cloud, interface conçue pour iPhone uniquement, plante sur mon iPad pro.Il n’est pas exempté de publicité pour 5,49€
Je ne voix aucun avantage...

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2019-03-16, version 1.6*

To many popups

### 2/5 — Not  there yet

*2019-03-15*

Auto scan works well on standard documents and the quality of the pdf is good. Everything else, needs work. Hopefully this feedback helps them clean it up. 
Manual does not work even when set. 
Opening files to view, takes two clicks - one to get to that file screen, and two to open
Emailing a file is bad - the send buttons as almost invisible. 
Ads are annoying

### 4/5 — Génial, mais les documents ne sont pas triés

*2019-01-30*

Pour moi, c’est de loin la meilleure application gratuite de scan sur iPhone : simple, intuitive, efficace.
Un tout petit défaut : une fois les documents scannés au format PDF, il se retrouvent dans le dossier en vrac, sans être triés, ou alors je n’ai pas compris la logique. Ça devient donc un peu complexe de retrouver un document parmi une cinquantaine, d’autant qu’on ne peut pas renommer les fichiers créés.
De même, on peut créer des sous-dossiers, mais on ne peut pas déplacer un document vers un sous dossier.

### 3/5 — No sharing function, ads on a paid app

*2019-01-18*

I can scan and save documents perfectly well, and the scanner is good. But I can’t send them anywhere - there’s no share button to email your scans, so what’s the point?

Also, having paid £4.99 for a premium app, why is there a permanent ad banner at the bottom of the screen? Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not recommended. Document must be perfect to be scanned.

*2019-01-04, version 1.5.1*

Tried to scan a document for an hour. The app wouldn’t scan any part at all on either automatic or manual. Finally gave up and just took a picture. Don’t bother with this app.

### 1/5 — Paid app full of ads

*2018-12-12, version 1.5.1*

This is a paid app, yet it’s full of advertisements as if it was free.

### 1/5 — No letter recognision, no lense adjustment

*2018-11-15*

Expected a bit more functionality from this paip app. It only let’s you adjust some contrast that you could do with any free image editing app. No scewing, no letter recognition and usability is a nightmare. On top of that, it still has ads! Are you kidding me? The only thing it does - changes the file extension to pdf.

### 1/5 — S

*2018-10-30, version 1.4.1*

This app is horrible what a waste of money

### 1/5 — Clumsy

*2020-05-29*

Used it on my other device.  Too many adverts and free version is not without adverts.  Need to streamline and clear out junk. 
Thanks

### 1/5 — 限免之后就很多广告了

*2020-02-15*

广告很多

### 1/5 — Not professional

*2019-10-15*

The paid version is not cheap but is full of Ads to the point of being ridiculous. There’s one ad after another.

If this was a free app I would’ve already removed off my phone.

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2019-06-17*

Downloaded as a free app! It won’t even let me open the app without $2.00 a MONTH subscription. I decided to delete it instantly, but even that is hard! By holding down the app button what normally enter the mode where an user can delete app doesn’t work! It activated different menu instead. Apple should kick this app out of apple App Store.

### 1/5 — Can’t email scanned documents

*2019-06-13*

How do I do this

### 1/5 — Not what claims

*2019-06-12, version 1.6.6*

It won’t let you sign a document unless you upgrade to another version. As if $4.99 wasn’t enough?

### 1/5 — SCAM. DO NOT BUY

*2019-05-15*

I could only scan the document into PDF but then completely unable to send it, not via email nor anything else. Don’t buy this. Cannot save in the phone as a document either. Only stays in the app. Pointless.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2019-05-11, version 1.6.6*

I am not able to get the files off my phone. Will not copy will not send great PDF that’s it in a file that you can do nothing with.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2019-05-11, version 1.6.6*

Difficult to use. Not user friendly. No instructions

### 1/5 — It is bad program!

*2019-05-05, version 1.6.6*

The program does not take the image as a jpg extension and does not contain the sharing property.

### 5/5 — Teacher

*2020-04-08*

It has helped me send assignments to my students, since school has been closed due to the Pandemic.

### 5/5 — Great page scanning app

*2019-09-08, version 1.6.7*

Great page scanning app. I love how it automatically detects the edges of the pages and is ease of use.

### 5/5 — 致谷歌app大佬

*2019-04-30*

我是不是限免用户啊，都写验证码了还有广告，我又不懂英文，谷歌上见过这个app，他们都说好，我也想玩玩

### 5/5 — Pas mal.

*2019-03-16*

Pas mal c’es un bon Scan.

### 5/5 — College Student

*2018-08-27, version 1.4.1*

For one of my classes, I have to send my homework electronically through something called blackboard. They require that it must be a pdf and this app allowed me to easily take a picture so I can send it as a pdf. This is a great alternative to buying an expensive scanner or paying to borrow the college’s scanner!

### 5/5 — 便捷

*2018-08-21*

自动裁切图像生成pdf，适合大量扫描工作

### 5/5 — Very disappointed

*2018-01-31*

Cannot send through email

**Developer response:** Hi.  Sorry you are having trouble sending through email, but you can definitely send your scanned in documents through email.  In the app, please go Settings -> Video FAQ and watch the video on to scan and send through email. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great customer service!

*2017-12-05*

Great app for scanning documents to PDF. 
I am not the most tech savvy person so was delighted to have a great customer service interaction!!

### 5/5 — Mr

*2017-11-21*

Very good app it's amazing thanks!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!  Very easy to use.

*2017-10-31*

Very intuitive and easy to use. Makes document execution and sharing easy from the road. No need to wait for access to a scanner. Better/clearer pdf documents compared to conventionally scanned documents. Nice job!
