Amazing

So useful, user friendly, pristine images

Getting fancier but complicated

I’ve used scanner pro for years now. Good support when I needed it. Try to keep it simple guys for us infrequent users. The preferences could use some expanding. The screen is washed out or too dark. Small things count. Easy on the eyes is good.

Marca d’água desnecessário

O scanner baixa para PDF , mas infelizmente o marca d’água atrapalha . Tudo que eu bom agora ficou em uma Parede de Dinheiro, o que é algo desnecessário.

Best app ever

The best app ever for all things scanning and pdf related.

Need Fast

I can always count on getting a scan done when I’m under a deadline.

Excellent

One of the best apps I’ve ever used! Simple and works perfectly!

Best

Best scanner ever

If i can do it anyone can

I’m in my 70s and very tech challenged, but I’m able to use this app somehow on my phone and capture what I need

Fantastic!

Fantastic PDF Experience!

Use to work great

This has been my go to app for a few years now. I don’t know what changed in the last update, but it now is full of bugs, locks up when opening the app, it won’t allow access to documents after the pictures have been taken. I am bummed, I have loved using this app, but have to move on.

Love it!

Always easy to use and handy!

So very sad

This has been one of my top apps for many years. Now they beg for money every time I open the app and try to manipulate me to pay rent. I already paid for this. Go away.

OCR feature

I love the auto OCR feature. It works well. Just scanned a document and the text conversation looks good

SCAN

Very Good tool!

Pay wall held my scan for ransom

I haven’t used the app since August. Today (October) I picked it up and scanned 13 pages of a document. When I tapped to move on to check and save the document I got stuck on a page demanding I subscribe with a free trial. I already own this app and have been happily using it for many years.

I tried to restore my purchase which the app told me was successful. But would not let me get to my document without subscribing. I was stuck with 13 scanned pages and unable to get anything out of it.

So I subscribed with a free trial. And immediately cancelled my subscription.

I don’t know what happened. Did Readdle remove my ownership of the app for a new pricing model? Or did I have some kind of glitch? Very bad experience to have in the middle of working on a document.

I hope after my “free trial” ends the app will revert back so I can continue using it.

Slow. Degraded. Over-Engineered

I’ll preface this review by saying that I’ve been using scanner pro for years without issue. Recent updates in 2026 have degraded the application to a point where it is nearly unusable. Requiring near perfect stillness when taking a scan of an item or continuously misscapturing images it is scanning. I have no idea what underlying changes have been made, but they don’t appear to be positive and have me thinking of switching utilities to find something which is at least more capable inconsistent in the captures it can make.

More taps to get things done

I’ve been using this app for years (since it first came out). Latest updates make this app so much more taps to use.

Crop, colour mode are all in Tools. Couple more taps don't seem a lot but when you scan lots, that adds more time and hassle to the workflow. Also after each scan, the animation is utterly pointless. I mean, just show the scan and let users proceed. "Sign" is now on the bottom bar. I suppose more people use that instead of cropping or changing Colour Modes?

How about letting users customise what tools to show on the bottom?

Recent update has broken it

I’ve used this app for almost a decade and it’s been wonderful. Unfortunately, the most recent update has caused major bugs. The UI is glitchy, it will scan a page and then immediately fail to save the scan, and it has even returned errors when I try to rename a document. I’ve restarted the app and restarted my phone to no avail. The app is now completely unusable.

A step backwards

Slower, bloated, and harder to use than earlier versions
