### 2/5 — Pro but not pro

*2025-11-28, version 3.8*

Why you give name pro if you limited to use OCR?

### 3/5 — Simple et efficace mais plus à jour

*2024-06-15*

Dommage qu’il n’y ait plus de mise à jour depuis plusieurs années! 
Quelques bugs inhérents au vieillissement…
Manque toujours un outil de recherche dans les enregistrements de scans.

### 2/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2022-06-21*

Ich finde die App sehr durchdacht und gerade durch die Cloud-Anbindung sehr nützlich. Allerdings wird man ständig an eine Bewertung erinnert- das nervt. Noch mehr bin ich allerdings von Abstürzen genervt. Egal was ich mache, die App stürzt früher oder später ab.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2021-10-28, version 3.8*

Simple to use & works well for my needs. I usually have to define the boarders after a scan. Biggest complaint/issue is the constant requests to rate the app. Even after numerous times telling it that I did not wish to post a review. And even continues to pop up after posting a review & also rating it. I’ll keep using it for now until I find something that doesn’t prod me every time I open the app.

### 3/5 — Bien

*2020-03-30*

Fait le travail, quelques bugs de temps en temps, dommage qu’il n’y a plus d’amélioration depuis quelques années.

### 3/5 — It’s ok. It’s quite handy.

*2019-12-29, version 3.8*

Finally doing a review because the app won’t shut up about it!

It has improved a bit and can auto-find a document a bit better. No real picture editing tools on the fly. It’s also a bit buggy and tends to crash after several docs are copied. It also doesn’t always slot pictures in the right order if you add some to a document, so annoyingly you have to move them around by hand.

It does output to jpg and pdf, as well as different doc sizes which is handy for notes collation.

### 1/5 — 最新OS対応して下さい。

*2019-11-10*

13.2.2にしたら、カメラ起動しても真っ黒で使い物になりません。

### 5/5 — Спасибо за приложение.

*2019-04-24*

Просто, удобно, функционально!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-03-26, version 3.8*

I have tried a number of scanning Apps on the iPhone and this one ticks all the boxes. It takes clear scan images with the option to crop should you wish to and offers the image in its natural formal or B&W or colour. It is a must App to have as it will save you a lot of time as it has the ability to email your documents via email too. Try it to believe it. You will not be disappointed.

### 2/5 — crash！

*2019-03-22, version 3.8*

Worked very well before, but frequently crashes recently, please update the app.

### 1/5 — Dommage …

*2026-01-22*

J’aimais, mais l’appli buggy depuis quelques temps. L’appli s’ouvre puis se ferme toute seule après quelques secondes. Sur IPhone 16Pro, donc ça devrait passer, mais non …
Dommage.

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2023-12-05, version 3.8*

Poor quality app. Won’t print using wireless connection. App constantly crashes.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2023-03-03, version 3.8*

This app hasn't been updated since I bought it a few years ago. Even the resolution doesn't match newer iPhones.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2021-12-09*

Не работает обычная и платная Pro версии

### 1/5 — Не работает iOS 15

*2021-11-23*

Прекрасно пользовался на iPhone 7, купил себе 13, теперь вылетает сразу, думаю ладно, купил полную версию, в итоге все равно ничего не сканирует и вылетает, чините!

### 1/5 — Please update, Keeps crashing!

*2021-10-20, version 3.8*

I love this app….well, I used to. With IOS latest update, I can’t scan anything. Keeps crashing. Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar nach Update

*2021-10-19*

Unter dem aktuellen iOS stürzt die App immer ab und ist somit leider unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — IOS 15

*2021-09-29*

der Tod von Sharp Scan 😡

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with  iOS 15

*2021-09-27, version 3.8*

Nothing but crashes after ios5 update. And since this app never gets updated I suspect it’ll stay that way, useless!

### 1/5 — Abandoned Product

*2020-07-27, version 3.8*

No updates for over two years.

### 5/5 — My go-to app for scanning text!

*2020-05-08, version 3.8*

Man!  It’s very nice when something just works. I just scanned a major recipe and placed the three scans into AnyList to shop it. The text recognition is excellent!   A few minor tweaks to remove CRs and an hour of typing saved!  
Fabulous whenever I’ve needed it. Buy.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-02-02, version 3.8*

This phone scanner works great and is one of my most important tools for work.

### 5/5 — Love this. Scanning on the go!

*2019-11-25, version 3.8*

I work from home. I use this app daily. It auto crops pretty terribly. But nothing I can’t adjust! I recommend this app all the time. I receive documents from people all the time in jpeg format and this app allows me to upload and crop accordingly.

### 5/5 — Um dos melhores OCR

*2019-07-24*

Testei vários apps, porém este foi o que melhor me atendeu

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2019-05-21*

Работает отлично!
