### 3/5 — Loss of quality

*2026-09-04, version 8.39*

I have been using the app for years. Always bragged on how crisp and clear the scans are. What happened?  They are now blotchy and almost look like the textbis in Bold.

### 5/5 — Your 1 Realtor & Realtor 4 Life

*2026-09-02, version 8.39*

Excellent. The 3rd best equipment I need to do my real estate job. The 1st item being my iPhone, the 2nd being my iPad. This app is great because I can scan a 20 page document, email it off for signatures, receive money, and then be done. Scan & done!

### 2/5 — Muito brigado

*2026-08-31*

Sempre funcionou muito bem só que recentemente completamente bugado, fica marcas quando escaneia e também dá 2 página em diante fica minúscula quando envia por WhatsApp

**Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We strive to provide the best possible experience and take a closer look to improve the quality. If possible, could you please share a few examples of the scans and contact us at helpspot@readdle.com? This will allow us to investigate the issue more thoroughly and find the best solution for you. We’ll do everything we can to make sure your scans look as clear and sharp as possible. Regarding the small paper size of the scans after sending, I'd like to share that Scanner Pro now uses an algorithm that automatically detects the proportions of each document and assigns the closest matching paper size on its own. However, you still have the option to manually set the paper size for the document for export or printing purposes. Here’s how: 1. Open Scanner Pro. 2. Tap any scan you’d like to change the page size for. 3. Tap 4. “Edit” at the bottom menu. 5. In the Edit screen, select the second “Page Size” icon. 6. Select the size you need and tap “Done” to save the changes. Best wishes, Alona.

### 5/5 — goat app

*2026-08-30, version 8.39*

you can take things straight from your photos, scan in color or b&w, and the ui is simple but with all the options you need. genuinely just the best, most reliable scanner with everything i need and nothing i dont. particularly lemme harp on the photos thing bc its so nice to not have to take time to scan things, i can just snap a photo and get a pdf later which makes it super easy to print or look at on my computer. and i dont have to pay for it which is also sweet so really just a legendary public service yall got going here devs

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-08-29, version 8.39*

### 5/5 — Excellent PDF Scanner

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Recent upgrade

*2026-08-31, version 8.39*

Seems worse

### 1/5 — Worthless to me

*2026-08-29, version 8.39*

My camera with text capture is more useful.  This just puts “scanner pro” in diagonal lines all over your document.  Useless.

### 1/5 — Not happy with latest update

*2026-08-26*

Since the last update my pages no longer scan the same size. Even though they are the same size. Which to be honest would happen occasionally prior to update. Difference now is when I then manually set them all to letter size they no longer all end up the same size. They don’t change at all from the scanned size. This is very frustrating, my scans are no longer clean and tidy. Please fix. 

Still waiting on a fix. When you go to edit to size the sheets you can have the option to select all types of different sizes (letter, legal, receipt, a3, a5, etc) but no matter what you select the size doesn’t change. It still remains the same size you scanned it at. I scan documents to send to customers along with their invoices. I use to be able to make it so everything was the same size & looked professional. Now it’s all different sizes and looks awful. 

Not sure what that last update did but it ruined everything!

Developer response appreciated but still not happy, does not bring me peace of mind. I like to be able to see in the app (like we use to) that all my pages are the same size. If I can’t see it before hand I can’t trust it. Also, now I have to actually edit each page and make sure they are all set to the same size because sometimes they may look it but one might be letter another might be receipt. There is no way to set them all together to the same size so it is taking me more time to do my job. Also, once I received your response I checked a couple pdfs that I sent to myself to see if they were indeed at least the same size on that end and a couple of the documents were all skewed. So I had to go back in to the app re-edit and resend. Then they were fine. AI doesn’t always make things better, some things are better the way they were.

**Developer response:** Hello there! I'd like to share that the paper size detected by the AI or selected by you (Edit > Page Size) is applied specifically to your exported or printed PDFs, meaning that the file won't visually change within the app itself. If, after you exported the PDF file, it was not the size you selected, please drop us a line at helpspot@readdle.com, so we could help you promptly. Best wishes, Alona.

### 1/5 — SLOW!!!

*2026-08-24*

Of course you can’t contact the developer - still VERY slow to start and not functioning well. Looking for a good scanning app if anyone has a recommendation?

 This used to be a great app - now it take 3 to 4 minutes just to load - then it won’t scan until you “clean the lens”.  Every time!!!  I’m now looking for a new scanning app. This one has become exasperating!!!

**Developer response:** Hi there! We’re sorry to learn that you’re having trouble with the app. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to make things right. Please provide us with more details about the issues at helpspot@readdle.com so we can work on fixing them (please add a note 'from AppStore'). Thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to improve. Best, Dariia

### 1/5 — USED to work very well…

*2026-08-22, version 8.38.1*

This app used to work very well. It was my go to to scan in any documents on the go to save receipts and to easily export edit and modify the scan all within the app was amazing.

Now simply trying to scan in a receipt, my phone takes the photo, the thumbnail shows up in the bottom right hand corner-but the counter stays at zero. It then freezes I am unable to see any of my older documents as I can’t leave that screen. So, anything that I’ve recently worked on or anything I’d like to do is locked up. The app completely locks up. I have to force quit, and when I reopen the application it’s the same merry-go-round. 
Please fix this I would hate to lose my documents, or have to find something else.

### 1/5 — Used to be Awesome

*2026-08-20, version 8.38.1*

This app used to be great! 

Simple to use, scanned docs and let you save them in the app, export as needed. 

Now, since I’ve had to restart my phone, I had to update to the latest version, which doesn’t let you export unless you have the $10/Week subscription! Insane! This is SO unbelievably disappointing. Will be deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Does not scan books. What a waste of money

*2026-08-17, version 8.38.1*

This is a garbage app. It will scan one page and that’s its. The next page the app just sits there and does nothing to capture. What do you expect from an Eastern European company.

### 1/5 — SLOW!!!

*2026-08-16, version 8.38.1*

This used to be a great app - now it take 3 to 4 minutes just to load - then it won’t scan until you “clean the lens”.  Every time!!!  I’m now looking for a new scanning app. This one has become exasperating!!!

### 1/5 — Sketchy auto-renew

*2026-08-15, version 8.38.1*

Charging you ever 7 days is predatory. I have forgotten about the app and I’m out $$$. This app is sketchy.

### 1/5 — Pro but full of ads

*2026-08-11, version 8.38.1*

This is a pro version of Scanner, but they don’t allow you to use the app unless you watch long ads of subscribing to their Plus plan and pay monthly rental. Not sure how Apple allows such developers.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-09-08*

Ive ever had any problem with this app. It has been bulled-proof! Totally recommend

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review ✨ We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app. Your feedback is a great motivator for our team! Best wishes, Alona.

### 5/5 — Reliable and safe

*2026-09-07, version 8.39*

I have been a user of Scanner Pro for a number of years and I’ve always found it very convenient to find my saved files when I need them, have the ability to print them, and a safe place to store them, I’ve never had any issues with the use of this app. Everything is organized, alphabetically, and easy to find.

### 5/5 — Simple & Easy to use

*2026-09-06, version 8.39*

Does exactly what it says on tin… Thank you

### 5/5 — An Amazing, Reliable App!

*2026-09-06, version 8.39*

Scanner Pro has *never* let me down. It has consistently produced sharp, accurate images for me for many years now. It just keeps getting better. I even had the assistant at my doctor’s office make a comment to me about the images of both sides of my health insurance card that I uploaded to their patient portal. She said, “Wow. That’s probably some of the clearest pictures of an insurance card anyone has ever sent to me.”  I said, “I used an app on my phone called Scanner Pro to do it. It makes everything super-sharp and clear. You should try it. It’s awesome!” So, just know that Scanner Pro is so good that you have longtime customers out here spreading the gospel for you! Thank you to the entire team at Readdle for such a useful, reliable, easy-to-use, wonderful app. The improvements over the years have only made it better. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — The best app for scanning

*2026-09-05, version 8.39*

Scanner Pro does a great job of scanning, organizing, optimizing, storing, and sharing documents as needed by fax, email, or messaging. They provide quick and professional help and an email response from a human whenever I’ve had a question. Thank you, glad that I found Scanner Pro!

### 5/5 — The best scanner app

*2026-09-04, version 8.39*

Fast scans, super accurate and clean with virtually effort on your part—iPhone held off angle, bad lighting, shadows, doesn’t matter, the app compensates and cleans up the scans like magic. Multiple pages no problem, shares to cloud services if you want, automatic OCR on everything so PDFs are searchable. A pleasure to use!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-09-04, version 8.39*

I love this app so easy to use and the ability to send someone music or anything  is fabulous!

### 5/5 — Awesome Scanning App

*2026-09-04, version 8.39*

I love this app !! I use it almost daily to scan documents, and while not quite as fast as a high speed expensive scanner, this app has paid for itself many times over !!

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2026-09-03, version 8.39*

Best scanner app available. Easy to use and always generates top notch h clear scans. It even makes them brighter and easily readable automatically. I’m a school administrator and this app is my go to for work and home. Simply the best and makes my work and personal life easier

### 5/5 — It works!!

*2026-09-03, version 8.39*

Very easy to use
