No more Lifetime promises. *2026-02-06, version 8.26.2* Readdle’s decision to stop updating Scanner Mini just to force us onto their other paid app is pathetic. This is a total breach of trust for early supporters. Disgusting business practice. Stay away! ### 1/5 — Bad people *2026-01-28, version 8.26.2* I payed for this app, now, they want I pay a subscription for it! APPLE! Do something! THIS IS CRAZY. ### 1/5 — Paid for the app, forced to pay for subscription now *2026-01-25* I paid for this app to use its premium features, lifetime license! Now they have discontinued it and forced to move to scanner pro, which is subscription based. I want my money back. And for everyone out there using this product, now you can just use the notes app in your iPhone to scan documents. You don’t need to pay these people a dime! **Developer response:** Hi there 💙 Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your thoughts about the Scanner Mini sunset — I totally get how this might feel a bit confusing. The good news is that you’ll still have access to Scanner Mini even after the sunset, so no worries there! ✨ Switching to Scanner Pro is completely optional. To help us take a closer look and find the best solution for you, could you please send your Scanner Mini purchase receipt to helpspot@readdle.com? We’ll review everything and get back to you with the next steps. Warm wishes, Dariia ### 1/5 — License *2026-01-12, version 8.26.2* I paid for a license and then they decided I needed to pay more to continue using the app. ### 1/5 — You will own nothing *2025-12-24, version 8.26.2* I bought this software, and now for support I have to pay a yearly subscription. So find yourself another solution ### 1/5 — Not a frequent user, but still need to pay subscription per month, for 3$? Doesn’t make sense *2025-11-14, version 8.26.2* Just doesn’t make sense for this business model ### 1/5 — Gouging *2025-10-27, version 8.26.2* Once upon a time I bought this app outright to have on my phone. Now you’re force moving us to your “pro” version so you can charge a monthly subscription. Feel free to choke on your caviar ### 1/5 — Se convierte en app de pago mensual *2025-10-23, version 8.26.2* Desgraciadamente yo compré esta app cuando la ofrecían como compra única para tenerla por siempre y ahora quieren movernos a la app pro con un costo mensual. No respetaron mi compra única, pues ya no le darán servicio a esta app, ya no habrá actualizaciones… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — reliable *2026-08-17, version 8.26.2* I have been using this app for more than 10 years and it is very user friendly and compatible with many programs love it ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-08-13, version 8.26.2* I have been using it for many years.
