### 2/5 — Email Sharing Option Doesn’t Work

*2023-03-10, version 6.0.10*

I have used this app since December 2014– PAID for it even. Suddenly, in October of 2022 I cannot share the spreadsheet via email. 

I have tried yahoo, gmail, and hotmail. NONE of them will send the file. It shows in the mail application in the sent folder, but it never actually sends the file. Instead, I get undeliverable notifications in my email saying it can’t go through. 

I tried emailing support — no reply other than a response saying they got my email and would respond. Now, I’m going to have to find another app because this is terribly inconvenient for me and the business I run. Thanks for the almost decade of use but I have to move on to something that will work and has customer service when I need it.

### 3/5 — OK, it works... Sort’a

*2019-12-11, version 6.0.8*

My biggest complaint, the data display.  It truncates everything to just 10 characters then “...” You can’t even expand the columns when in expanded screen view to verify you didn’t scan the same item twice or more.  You have to export your scanned list,  then check your data for duplicates.  Second complaint, Adds,  “Ticker Tape” style Adds “CONSTANTLY” scrolling across the top of the app.  Both “Piss Poor” inducements by the developer to get you to PAY for a “Better????” version.  Just the kind of thing that makes me REFUSE to spend money... just find out “IF” there is a better version.

### 2/5 — Not good value

*2019-02-14, version 5.0.2*

If I could have had a trial I wouldn’t have bought it.  OK for a surface with one barcode, but when you have to pick out a barcode amongst many it is hard to use and I lots of double scans which slow you down and is very annoying to use .  The app badly needs to have an option to press a virtual scan button rather than autoscan.

### 2/5 — Bewildering interface

*2017-11-13, version 4.2.6*

that looks like it is from the 90s.  I watched the support video and got it figured out a bit.  The scanning worked fine.   A couple days later I re-open the app for another look and I am confused again.  A bunch of big clunky icons without any text.  Why not both?    So, probably not useful for what I need it for - transport driverr scanning passengers.  Also sent an email and no response.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2017-05-26, version 4.2.5*

This app was EXACTLY what I needed. The scanning functionality worked super fast and it was easy to figure out how to add more columns and rename them to what I needed. I still can't believe this app exists. Highly recommend for any kind of inventory tied to UPCs!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-05-03, version 4.2.5*

Great app for creating a spreadsheet on the move. Helps in poor weather while conducting an audit.

### 5/5 — PV Technical Support

*2017-03-15, version 4.2.1*

We have found Scan 2 Spreadsheet to be very useful in our offline, lack of cell service environment. The creators have been beyond supportive.

### 5/5 — Jesus Salcedo

*2017-03-08, version 4.2.1*

Excellent customer support helped to understand and operate the app.

The response was very fast. Awesome service.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2017-03-06, version 4.2.1*

I use "scan to web" when I have cell service, and "scan to spreadsheet" when I don't

Scan to spreadsheet is cool because you can use an external barcode scanner, or use the phone camera.  In either case, you can set it to continuous scanning and just scan away.

Both are great apps

### 5/5 — Great app...

*2016-12-12, version 4.2.1*

A very simple, easy to set up app but with some powerful features. Scans to built in spreadsheet which can look up and pull in 2 data values from imported csv file on scan. Scanned sheet can be exported for processing in Excel / Numbers. On iPhone & iPad scanning with built in camera or external Bluetooth scanner works fast and accurately. On contacting the company a couple of reported bugs were dealt with and fixed with updates with a few days. Impressive at all levels. 6 stars!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Zeros

*2022-10-05, version 6.0.10*

Some days it adds a zero to the front of the UPC and other days it works fine. Tried removing leading characters with no result.

### 1/5 — Can’t get ads to go away.

*2022-07-01, version 6.0.10*

I paid for the ad free version, and even when I try and get it to “restore purchases” it just crashes, reloads with ads on it. I’ve spent my money, I have no satisfaction, the app wasn’t scanning barcodes correctly either, it was faster to just enter data by hand than play with this janky app. I also couldn’t get it to load a spreadsheet from my files. Once again, cool concept but doesn’t deliver.

### 1/5 — Did not work for me

*2020-09-19, version 6.0.9*

I have an iPhone 11 running iOS. I selected and downloaded this app. I was not able to find written support documentation on the functions of each button or icon in the app. The videos on-line were skimpy. The trial spreadsheet I generated during 2 hours of trial and error kept crashing my app. Frustrated and will uninstall. I tried to like the app but the app doesn’t like me.

### 1/5 — Update didn’t fix issue

*2020-01-05, version 6.0.9*

Unfortunately this update did not fix the issue I previously reported. It still won’t export to Excel.

### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchase

*2019-12-13, version 6.0.8*

After a terrible update that changed the colors start showing Ads, when I trying to restore my purchase the App just exit with no changes still The Ads shows and unable to restoring, ether to fix this issue or refund my money.

### 1/5 — Waist of money

*2017-11-15, version 4.2.6*

Will not scan to spreadsheet!

### 1/5 — Not scanning bar codes

*2017-06-26, version 4.2.6*

I love the idea but it is not scanning the bar codes which we have preprinted on our inventory. I can't seem to figure out if it is even trying to.

### 1/5 — Wasted $. Finicky. Sporadic.

*2017-05-19, version 4.2.5*

More wasted $. Works 1 out of 15 tries. Might work for a scan or two, then stops working, even using the exact same physical bar code!!! Fail. Scam.

### 1/5 — Don't bother...unless it is free

*2017-05-10, version 4.2.5*

I was hoping it would at least provide a title of the scanned item. All it does is pull the upc number into a rudimentary database.

Update: I adjusted the wording in the title. Save a couple bucks and search for an app which provides a similar function at a lower price point.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2017-03-07, version 4.2.1*

I bought your app but when I scanned the barcode, the final number of each bar code became '0'

### 5/5 — Simple yet affective

*2023-03-29, version 6.0.10*

Love this app, its basic and simple and it works!! I love it. Solved a time consuming task and made it much quicker.

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2021-03-28, version 6.0.9*

G’day
We have been using this marvellous Scan to Spreadsheet app for over four years now and never had any complaint. We had one setup concern that was promptly addressed within 24hrs. Thanks Andy!
Cheers,
Steve.

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2020-08-18, version 6.0.9*

Solid tool doing exactly what is needed! Read bar codes into a list. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Don’t let free fool you! It’s excellent!

*2020-03-12, version 6.0.9*

The easy to use interface is deceiving because it’s a very robust application behind it. Take the time to watch the videos before you rate and if you do have a question, the developer got back to me next day. It is well rounded and when you take the time to watch the videos, you’ll see that it’s a bargain at free. I spent the money to get rid of the ads. It’s a win win. Skip your espresso for a day and you’ll have a fantastic app with no ads.

### 5/5 — Great application

*2020-01-13, version 6.0.9*

This app is easy to use and great for creating quick spreadsheets.

### 5/5 — Great support!!!

*2019-08-02, version 6.0.7*

This app works great!! I did run into a few issues but emailed the support site and received a prompt response with the answer to my problem.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2019-03-28, version 6.0.5*

Everything I was looking for and more!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!

*2018-05-04, version 4.2.6*

Wow..! I literally have been searching for weeks now for a program as simple as this. You seriously can't find anything else out there that does the same thing on Mac IOS..﻿

### 5/5 — Best Inventory solution I’ve ever seen!

*2017-11-05, version 4.2.6*

I have worked with some of the big companies in terms of inventory control and I am amazed by this product.  This company truly understands the needs of inventory teams and has built an incredible product.  I was getting fed up with looking and was about to contract out building my own similar product until I came across this one.  I am incredibly lucky that I found it just in time!  I recommend going to their website for easy to understand tutorials, and even a help desk that can assist you!  (Literally for a $2.99 app, this is incredible).  

Perfect for small inventory projects or small business that doesn’t have a need for bulky warehouse management solutions.  Anyone and everyone who ever has a need to keep up with an any size of inventory should have this app!

Tell all your friends, this product comes with the highest recommendation I can give.

### 5/5 — Awesome for performing physical counts!

*2017-08-04, version 4.2.6*

This is a great app for physical counts. The GPS feature helped us out a lot with assigning bin locations to inventory items. Highly recommending!
