### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2023-03-08*

This app is one of the most useful apps around. I use it ALLLLLLL the time.

### 5/5 — Amazingly easy

*2022-06-15*

I have used ScanBee a number of times and found it reliably easy to use.

### 5/5 — Use it all the time!

*2021-11-09, version 2.1*

I have tried a few scanning apps but this one if my favorite. Very easy to use. Like the multiple page option. Can email through multiple email accounts. Clear easy scans. One thing I would like to see changed is the cropping tool. I hate how it is not at a right angle. It can crop uneven because it has no lines or guidelines on if it’s straight. It only does one side at a time instead of the 2 so you can make sure it’s even. This would be a great update.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-05-10, version 2.1*

Easy to use and send many scans of files. No problems or glitches.

I cannot reach my scanned documents stored in the application, i am wondering about this technical issue why the developer do nothing to solve it, although it is existed since IOS 14.2 update

This app it’s not compatible with IOS 14, I am having problems and unable to open the app and see my documents

### 5/5 — Best document scanner out there!

*2020-05-16, version 2.1*

I’ve had this Scan Bee App for years on my iPhone and it never disappoints. I travel a lot with my business and don’t carry a scanning computer and printer with me ever- just my phone and this app- very professional in every aspect!

### 1/5 — Export issues

*2020-04-22, version 2.1*

I used this for a few months then suddenly it will no longer export scans. So now it’s unusable.
