### 1/5 — Basically unusable without paying

*2026-01-16, version 2.9*

I used to use this app a lot to scan in documents as PDFs and send them to my computer to upload for assignments. Now when I scan something in and try to share the document, everything I click brings up a paywall. You can’t send the pdf anywhere without paying which basically makes the app useless. Wouldn’t recommend unless you want to pay for something you can get elsewhere for free.

### 5/5 — Fantastique

*2025-11-23, version 2.8*

Fantastique

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads no docs

*2025-08-26, version 2.7*

The scan part works but forget trying to get to the document you scanned. You just get game ads with no way to get to the scanned doc. Not worth downloading. It doesn’t work without the document.

### 1/5 — Good app, too many ads

*2025-08-25, version 2.7*

It’s a good app, but too many ads you have to sit through to make it work. EVERY function in the app is an ad unless you get the paid app. Well, if I can’t try it for free, I’m not going to pay for it.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-08-08, version 2.6*

Can't use it because an ad covers the share icon

### 1/5 — Weak

*2025-08-05, version 2.6*

Very weak

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-07-09, version 2.6*

The app has been perfect and been a lifesaver. However, last update had a bug and I couldn’t open the app. Been patiently waiting on an update. Just updated with the new update today and I’ve lost everything on there. Quite devastating

### 3/5 — Impossible d’ouvrir l’application

*2025-07-03, version 2.5*

Je viens de mettre à jour l’application et impossible de l’ouvrir 
Je clique sur l’apps et hop elle se referme aussitôt 
Que faire?

### 5/5 — M

*2025-06-14, version 2.4*

Good

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2025-05-21, version 2.4*

No where in the app store does it say that there is an app to purchase. Filled with ads. Waste of time.  Its ok to offer a free version with ads. Not disputing that. However, this is not disclosed and it leads you to believe that it just works. When in fact, it leaves a lot to be desired.
