### 2/5 — Not friendly

*2026-06-04, version 2.9.7*

It’s not easy to use and you can not turn off $charge to delete app it’s a forced purchase after trial I can’t cancel until until they charge my account it’s a scam

### 1/5 — not free

*2026-08-03, version 2.9.7*

not free

### 1/5 — Virus app

*2025-10-16, version 2.9.7*

This use to be a great document scanning app but lately this app has so many advertisements with viruses. There have been a lot of pertinent information I sent using this app, I hope that any information that sent wasn’t compromised.

### 1/5 — No puedo transportar la información de otro móvil

*2024-10-02, version 2.9.5*

No se puede traer documentos de otro móvil

### 1/5 — I can’t cancel my subscription

*2024-07-16, version 2.9.5*

I can’t cancel my subscription

### 1/5 — Abbonamento

*2024-02-21, version 2.9.5*

Per errore è partito l’abbonamento di un anno. Siccome ogni operazione che fai esce la finestra del abbonamento, inevitabilmente anzi che chiudere ho schiacciato ok ed è partito e non c’è modo per disattivarlo. Una bella truffa direi….

### 1/5 — Worst

*2023-12-26, version 2.9.4*

Now the worst scanner app

### 1/5 — Eigentlich super, bis die Werbung DeutschlandCard kam….

*2023-11-07, version 2.9.3*

…seitdem unnutzbar, wenn man die nicht anklickt - wäre ja ok - aber dann dort allen Daten Verwendungen zustimmt UND seine Daten eingibt bzw. am Gewinnspiel mitmacht. Ich komme nun an den Scanner nicht mehr ran. Und das ist auch nicht erlaubt, so die Daten der Kunden zu erzwingen…. Bei Deutschland Card kann man sich auch nur beschweren/ in Kontakt treten, wenn man ein Konto anlegt….

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-05, version 2.9.3*

They charged the money but app doesn’t work, there is problem with taking the picture. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Used to be my go to

*2023-10-27, version 2.9.2*

Does not work on my new iPhone. Worked great on android.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-10-19, version 2.9.2*

Simple scan has worked great for 2 years and now has stopped working

### 5/5 — Great scanner super easy to use

*2026-08-29, version 2.9.7*

Been using this for over a year and a half now to send in weekly paperwork while working on the road. OTR trucker. It’s super easy to use and quick all you need is your phone camera! I recommend just flat out buying instead of doing the subscription route as it pays itself off immediately imo just purely on convenience of having a scanner in your pocket. Used to have to overnight ship documents paying for the postage on a flat rate was ridiculous. $10-15 bucks every week.. paid the hundred bucks once and it’s lifetime million percent worth it.

### 5/5 — O melhor app scanner pra celular
