All of a sudden though, I can’t find the option to export PDF to Photos anywhere, and attempting to Print produces an error. PLEASE tell me you just rearranged some UI options, rather than removed features we paid for? ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-08-17, version 8.13.1* Quick easy to use ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2026-08-16, version 8.13.1* It’s the easiest app to scan documents or photos! ### 5/5 — Accuracy & convenient *2026-08-16, version 8.13.1* Genius scan is accurate, clean images, convenient and easy for the older generation who are not computer savvy! ### 2/5 — The Idea is great *2026-08-15, version 8.13.1* Seemed really cool, it scanned my receipts really quickly and could export an expense report excel sheet. The problem was with the consistency. Some receipts would be warped and text missing, some numbers on in the excel sheet were wrong. I couldn’t use the images or the data it was giving me. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-08-15, version 8.13.1* This app is a life saver, with a family of 12, it has made life so much easier with organization and being able to find paperwork. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-15, version 8.13.1* Good ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-15, version 8.13.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Reseña súper bueno me encanta *2026-08-15, version 8.13.1* Espectacular ### 5/5 — It’s awful good 😃 *2026-08-14, version 8.13.1* It’s awful good 😃👍🤩! ### 5/5 — Genius scan *2026-08-14, version 8.13.1* Love this app. Easily on my top 10 list of useful apps. Intuitive with many great features. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-14, version 8.13.1* So easy to use ### 5/5 — Exelente *2026-08-14, version 8.13.1* Me encanta y me hace todo más fácil gracias. ### 5/5 — Would use again *2026-08-13, version 8.13.1* Fantastic app ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2026-08-13, version 8.13.1* Everything about this app is so good - organization and simplicity is perfect but I feel it’s missing a few simple functions. Adding a “trash bin” would be WONDERFUL - not sure why there isn’t one but seems necessary after scanning things and mistakenly deleting a document. Other note would be to add a function where you can “doodle” on top of the doc - I have Genius Sign, but a function on either app to write on top of the PDF’s rather than exporting to another 3rd party app would be useful. Overall great app - I recommend to everyone at work or in PDF passings…these things would make the Genius apps 10/10 though. ### 5/5 — Have been pleased with GS for years *2026-08-13, version 8.13.1* It does exactly what it’s supposed to. I really like how reliable it is, and that I’m not paying a subscription. I’ll recommend it forever. ### 5/5 — Best PDF maker; so easy! *2026-08-13, version 8.13.1* I love this app and have for years. It’s so quick and simple and does a perfect job of making PDFs out of a stack of papers ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-08-12, version 8.13.1* The best scanner I found, very easy to get going, and has some helpful more advanced features. File size is hugely smaller than other scanners. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Blur *2026-08-19, version 8.13.1* You can’t read the document that was scanned. Picture was clear, scan app made it a blur ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2026-08-13, version 8.13.1* Genius scan is actually dumb scan. After update it jumps to edit page after every scan. So you think one only needs one page every time? ### 1/5 — Customer Basic Lifetime NOT true *2026-07-28, version 8.13.1* Should be a zero rating. ### 1/5 — Reviews *2026-07-24, version 8.13.1* I hate writing reviews ### 1/5 — Only scans well *2026-07-18, version 8.13* Scans well but nothing else can be made to work as expected. Help is extremely vague with no detailed instructions. The GUI in the app is incredibly confusing. It makes no logical sense. I need to look for something else. I am incredibly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Great for business docs *2026-07-15, version 8.13* Now they want to charge me after X amount of years. bs. ### 1/5 — What did I pay lifetime fee for?! *2026-07-11, version 8.12.1* I paid for GS+ and now you have upstage to Ultra?! For a yearly fee? What a bunch of bs, just like all other apps if you don’t upgrade you do t get any benefits. Bs ### 1/5 — Loved this, but what happened? *2026-07-08, version 8.12.1* Had the free version for many many years and loved it. I am a VERY lite user and maybe only used it a couple of times per year. I had things like my driving licence and birth certificate on. A few years ago both of my parents passed away (within 2 years of each other) and I used this to scan important documents. Just gone to use it now and the App has been removed (not by me). I have reinstalled it and all my documents have gone. I have tried to get back into the free version and it now only lasts 1 week with no guarantee I will get my important docs back. Now I understand that this was the free version and people should be happy to pay if they like an App but only using it a couple of times per year it is not good value for me. I think it’s upsetting for them to delete everything without pre warning so I could save my deceased parents documents that I will probably never easily get back. ### 1/5 — Free version only black and white *2026-07-06, version 8.12.1* They don’t let you modify how you scan on the free version ### 1/5 — Cambio! Malosima ahora *2026-07-05, version 8.12.1* Por mucho tiempo estuvo bien, ahora no te deja hacer nada. Se ve q quieren q pagues. Es una pena, porq ahora la voy a desinstalar y buscar otra cuando la use mucho tiempo y era buena.
