### 5/5 — Love my ScanSnap

*2026-08-02, version 4.0.0*

I’ve been using my ScanSnap iX100 for probably 15 years now and although the software app has changed my workflow hasn’t. I love the fact I can come home with receipts or items I want to store and just open the scanner and go, the files go straight to my Dropbox or other designated place of storage - Job done.

### 4/5 — great little mobile scanner

*2026-07-16*

Impressive lightweight fast scanner. Would be 5 star if scanner can remember to reconnect to different wifi networks. I had to remove the scanner then add it again for it to reconnect each time.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on ScanSnap home for Apple and ScanSnap products. To better address your concerns, please search for “PFU RICOH Global Support contact” on Google and contact the Technical Assistance Center, located in your region.

### 5/5 — schon toll

*2026-07-14*

Hab den neuen scan snap iX 2500 und bin sehr zufrieden.
Verbindung der App sowohl über Router als auch alternativ über Wifi direct möglich.
Kein Papierstau, die blätter werden sehr schnell durchgeschleust, beidseitig oder einseitiges lesen einstellbar.

### 1/5 — Schnell aber Stau

*2026-07-11*

Ich hatte mich so gefreut, endlich mehr Seiten und schneller scannen als mit den Multifunktionsgeräten. Nun aber: Dünnes Papier - schwierig. Dickeres Papier - schwierig. Briefe, die ordentlich entfaltet wurden: praktisch unmöglich. Mehrere Seiten: verkrumpeln im Einzug. Meine Lösung ist momentan dann, die Seiten in einem Affenzahn hinterherzuschieben. Versage ich, kann man wieder von vorne anfangen. Ich kann mir die Papierdicke meiner Briefe nicht aussuchen und wir reden hier auch nicht von Luftpostbriefpapier. Schade, viel Geld und es kostet viele Nerven

### 1/5 — it never connect !

*2026-07-01, version 2.3.2*

why make it simple when you can complicate ?

### 1/5 — Scan snap

*2026-05-30, version 2.3.2*

First time it connected but after that no spent my hole day trying to figure out but nope

### 4/5 — Umständliche Bedienung, kein „Profil kopieren“, kein Scan to NAS

*2026-05-15*

Ich empfinde das als Umständliche Bedienung. Ich finde keine Möglichkeit, ein Profil zu kopieren (Einstellungej für eine Cloud kopieren für eine andere Cloud). Ich finde kein „Scan to NAS“. Oder finde nur ich das nicht?

### 2/5 — Instabil

*2026-04-30*

Ix1600 lief bis zum Update einwandfrei - jetzt funktioniert er nur wie ein Blinker mit dem Handy - „ geht - geht nicht - geht „ das ist sehr enttäuschend - vermutlich echt ein Beispiel für verschlimmbessert 🤷🏼‍♂️ muss jedes Mal neu initialisiert werden, dann mit etwas Glück und vielfachem an und ausschalten geht er mal - wenn es funktioniert, ist es gut. Aber so werde ich wohl mal bei den Mitbewerbern vorbeischauen … da habe ich keine Lust zu …jedesmal vor einem Scanvorgang das Handy neu zu initialisieren ..

### 2/5 — Horrible documentation and almost horrible Program

*2026-04-07*

This doesn’t have to be this complicated and this buggy full of bugs. Some stuff works some stuff doesn’t if you have scans from the previous app good luck being able to see all of them or some of them. This is ready ridiculous.  Can’t get two users on the same computer using this and sharing the same storage sub directory for the scans.  I’m sure you can’t do a whole lot better by the way I’m not a beginner.

*2026-04-04*

Bekomme leider keine Verbindung zu meinem scansnap ix 1600, schon mehrfach deinstalliert und wieder installiert aber leider ohne Erfolg, Scanner ist im WLan und kann von jedem Rechner benutzt werden nur vom Iphone funktioniert es nicht. Verwende ein IPnone 16 Pro mit IOS 26.4
