### 3/5 — update

*2022-03-01*

please update.

### 4/5 — Bad quality

*2017-12-28, version 5.3.3*

The quality of the scans is terrible.  If the scans produced an image like the phone camera does it would be great

### 5/5 — Best mobile scanner I have found!

*2017-12-21, version 5.3.3*

I’ve used several and this one is the clearest and easiest to navigate.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-12-14, version 5.3.3*

Great

### 5/5 — alaabader1

*2017-12-04, version 5.3.1*

روعة

### 5/5 — Отличная прога.

*2017-11-29*

Мне очень понравилось, можно вручную быстро подкорректировать результат, сделать его ч.б или серым по вкусу. От оригинального скана не отличить и можно переслать не как pdf, а как картинку это супер в отличии от др. прог. Распознаварие у всех прог и так г..но, для этого юзаю сканер и переводчик про. Ещё по минусам: не нашёл как редактировать после сохранения результата. И досадный вылет проги в одном месте.

### 1/5 — Нет сохранения

*2017-10-11*

На iphone 6s невозможно сохранить результвты сканирования, нет кнопки сохранения

### 2/5 — Update is garbage

*2017-10-08, version 5.1.7*

This latest update killed the ease of use that used to be built in. Some programmer followed in Apple's trend of taking away easy features/changing layouts/change-for-the-sake-of-change and wrecked the app. Move on to something else.

### 3/5 — Too early too tell

*2017-08-11, version 5.0.5*

Must leave review to use highlight feature???

### 5/5 — I like it!!

*2017-08-03, version 5.0.5*

Only 3 shots are free.

### 1/5 — Camera is not working

*2022-03-05, version 5.5.3*

I bought this app awhile ago and working fine until I need to do more scanning today. When I tap the camera icon, app closes and camera does not work.

### 1/5 — SAVE YOUR MONEY

SAVE YOUR MONEY Keeps asking me to upgrade ON paid version

I was trying to make a folder but it doesn’t allow me to do that unless I pay $5

*2017-12-11, version 5.3.1*

Crashes all the time, never loads on mi iPhone 6 Plus 64GB. 
Pity.

### 1/5 — Two scan limit then 1.90

*2017-12-01, version 5.3.1*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Обман

*2017-11-29*

Уже после 3го сканирования просит произвести оплату в размере 149 рублей, и не даёт больше сканировать😏, а само приложение не плохое

### 1/5 — £1.99 after being used for years

*2017-11-29, version 5.3.1*

They have made an update of the app couple of days ago.Just wanted to scan a document today morning.There was a pop up window showing I have reached my limit pay £1.99.After years being used it they decided to make that.Bad.It is not that samll amount I need to pay for it.

### 1/5 — Nit worth your money

*2017-11-29, version 5.3.1*

Do not have enough option to choose from. Too expensive for such a simple app.  You can only try 3 times befor you need by pro version. My dropbox can do all these for free!

### 5/5 — Tom

*2026-01-28, version 6.2.0*

I like this app as I purchased the pro version. The one thing I would like to have is dark mode. Otherwise app is well worth the one off payment.

*2024-01-09, version 6.1.0*

### 5/5 — Супер 👍

*2022-12-11*

Это мое первое скан приложение , все работает отлично! Лёгкий и быстрый интерфейс, и ничего лишнего (за что отдельное спасибо) . По ходу работы даже выдаёт подсказки, но я и без них разобралась,  что к чему. Вообще не понимаю, как я раньше жила без такого сканера??? Спасибо разработчикам!!

### 5/5 — Super update!
