I scan almost every thing from rent receipts, child support checks, Medical records and so much more. I love this app because it literally gets rid of junk paper laying around. Because I stor so many important document here, I would love to see a back up. I upgraded from iPhone 6s to a 7, some of my most favorite apps were deleted for good. I know that this app links to Dropbox but I would like to see a better back-up for it. I really don't know what I would do if I lost this app. It's like carrying around a file cabinet. This is type of app that you just need.😄 ### 4/5 — One minor thing... *2014-11-12, version 3.5.0* The new update works fine, with the exception of the gamma correction function. Since the latest update, once you've pressed "done", the preview doesn't close out to the corrected image, you have to press "done" to save the correction, and then "cancel" to close out. It may not seem like a big issue, until you have a large number of pages to gamma correct all at once. ### 4/5 — pretty good *2014-02-21, version 3.2.0* What an amazing pdf app. it can scan the documents which we got their paper editions. And the most impressive thing is that the scanning pdf can be searched. it is searchable! it helps me a lot when i want to find out something. the search function works great. ### 5/5 — Useful on everything *2014-02-12, version 3.2.0* Was very happy to see how simple yet creative this app was. I have been using it on my iPad and iPhone with ease and simplicity. Love the translations it does when converting words and paragraphs to text. Also syncs up to drop box which I use daily. Delighted with this flawless product. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!! *2014-02-12, version 3.2.0* I run my entire work life off of my phone. This app has made me more efficient and allows me to manage multiple offices without bringing a computer everywhere I go. The technology is excellent and works exactly as described in the description. I love the translation feature and the search functionality is excellent. Totally worth the money as I use it almost every day. If you live on your phone, I would give this app a try. ### 5/5 — It makes my life easier! *2014-02-08, version 3.2.0* With this app, my phone can do anything for managing document. This saves me a lot of time and makes me becoming organized. This app is also easy to use and very convenient to manage document, especially when you're are not in your office. Thanks for having this app. ### 5/5 — Handy App *2014-02-07, version 3.2.0* Especially for a busy student. I would recommend this app to anyone trying to control the waves of papers inundating his or her backpack. The app does take some getting used to in terms of scanning, but once you get it down it's useful in a variety of ways: I scan books, notes, handout, syllabi, and other paper things. ### 5/5 — One of the handiest scanning apps *2014-02-03, version 3.2.0* A very simple concept for an app but it has multiple uses. I have tested on several documents and it worked flawlessly. I was impressed with the OCR feature that was able to identify text and recognizes up to 20 languages! It also worked well and there were very few misinterpretation, only a few capital letters in the middle of some words. Overall Snap2PDF is one of the handiest scanning apps I have seen. ### 5/5 — Perfect for running a small business on the go! *2014-01-31, version 3.2.0* I was out without my laptop and a client of mine called and told me he needed a PDF version of some important documents ASAP. I freaked out and prayed there was some kind of app that could help me out, luckily I found this! I was easily able to take a scan like picture of the pages, convert them to PDF and easily share them. It was almost too easy ! The app is very simple and easy to use! I started using it for all documents so that way I have back up PDF versions on my phone and in my Dropbox! The best thing is that it even lets you easily search them so it doubles as an organizer ! Totally worth downloading !! ### 5/5 — Like a flat scanner!! *2014-01-11, version 3.2.0* By far the best scanning App out there. The easy cropping, de-warping (for book pages), and gamma true black&white correction make every page you create look like it came off a desktop scanner. And the OCR / search feature is top notch! Look no further. Download this App! ### 5/5 — Useful & Easy to use *2014-01-06, version 3.2.0* Snap2PDF is the best application released for iPhone to manage documents. I found this very useful and easy to use. The interface is clean and glowing. Easily I can make a PDF through it. The multipage documents are easily managed through this remarkable app. ### 5/5 — Handy and convenient *2014-01-06, version 3.2.0* This app is really useful for business as well as for everyday necessities. The greatest feature for me is being able to work with different languages on the go as I deal with translations. All in all, the app is of great quality and very productive. I definitely recommend it! ### 5/5 — Such a great app to help me store all my documents! *2014-01-04, version 3.2.0* As a business man, I am always on the go. While at meetings or catching up with cliental, I am always presented with documents, paperwork and much more. Some of my documents were even in other languages, so I had no idea what it said. That’s where this app comes into play and saved me from a whole bunch of headaches. The file management within this app makes it so easy for me to have total control and organization of my files as I can create actual subject folders for each of my documents. I also love that this app can translate many languages to English or a lot of other languages so I do not have to pay big money for a translator just to understand what is on each document. I highly recommend this app for everyone that handles documents, different languages, and ease or organization. Great app! ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2014-01-02, version 3.2.0* This is a great all-in-1 doc management app that has all the features I need. I'm able to scan physical docs and then use and store as a pdf on my device. Also it's great to be able to use Dropbox from the app. There's also other great features which I don't normally use like translations and such but it's awesome that it's available for those who need them. ### 5/5 — Great Doc Management App... *2014-01-02, version 3.2.0* Yes, this is the best Document Management app. It has tons of features which I need to manage my business documents. Create PDFs, searchable PDFs, quick translation, etc are some of the great features I need on my day to day work. Best is I do not have to carry paper documents in my laptop bag and risk it to loose it. I can store all my docs, receipts, discussions, on my phone & pad. This app deserves more than a 5 star .... ### 5/5 — Finally I'm Organized! *2013-12-25, version 3.2.0* As someone who is typically disorganized and unable to keep track of my paperwork, this app has been a lifesaver. I keep finding more and more uses for it and am very glad to have found it! Highly recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Privacy policy AFTER the fact *2017-11-05, version 3.6.3* App does not show intrusive privacy policies until after you purchase. Will complain to Apple about this bait and switch. ### 1/5 — Confused/Do you want the truth? *2014-03-08, version 3.2.0* I don't know how in the h*** this app has all 5 star ratings, and I'm not going to waste time conspiring as to why, but I will give me own personal review- I bought this app based on- 1. The app developer, which made the great "world card" app that I use; 2. The description of what the app does; and 3. The ratings given- However, when I downloaded the app and have it a test run, I kid you not, it literally just took a regular picture of the document as if you had just opened up the native camera and took a picture- I did this with several documents under different lighting conditions, and I tried my best to give this app the benefit of the doubt- In conclusion I called Apple and was promptly refunded my money, and I purchased Scanner Pro instead and have only looked back this once to warn others ### 1/5 — OCR is useless *2013-05-24, version 3.1.3* This doesn't apply OCR to a scan all at once. You have to apply it pic by pic. It also doesn't appear to support going back and editing a picture. If you take a picture and add another one to the scan, it doesn't seem to allow you to go back and edit the first picture if you forgot to apply OCR to the first image. Even when it does apply the OCR, it is useless. I took screenshots of documents and then used these images to test the OCR. The results were appalling. In addition, it makes you import a picture one at a time so that you can't import multiple images in at once. This seriously hurts workflow when importing multiple images must be done one at a time from the camera roll and the OCR must be applied to each individual picture instead of applying OCR at the end of the image compilation. Finally, the OCR doesn't even work correctly. This was a complete waste of money. Readdle does better than this with their scanner though they don't have OCR. It is debatable whether this app has OCR. ### 1/5 — Aweful App *2012-12-14, version 3.1.0* I almost never write reviews but this app is so bad I felt compelled to do so. I have not been able to use it because there is no way to get documents into it unless you have a Dropbox account (I don't) or scan them yourself (I wanted this app to manage existing documents and OCR them). All of my other document apps will share files among them. This app does not participate. If I am emailed a document I can open the attachment in any other app EXCEPT this one. This app is a total zero. ### 1/5 — Can't figure out how to use *2012-12-09, version 3.0.0* Can not figure out how to use this app. It does load and I kinda sorta can add pictures but there's no help functions that I could find, really hard to try to figure out how to make this work. I gave up. Far too frustrating, and doesn't appear to be nearly as useful as it claims. Add some tutorials so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use the features to the fullest and I may try it again. For now this app is worthless too me which is a shame - I would love the ability to create searchable PDFs, it would really help me at work. But if I can't figure out how to use it, its no good to me. ### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised *2012-10-11, version 2.1.0* The OCR is completely worthless. A list of 20 items I OCRed came out as nothing but commas and periods. Not a single letter was recognized and this was from a clean laser print of a word document. It failed to recognize entire areas of text, but decided part of my desk at the edge of the photo consisted of words. There is no option to change the area to OCR. you only have the option of attempting to use the areas it identified and there is no option to attempt re-identifyingq which areas have text. You also have to pick the language every time you OCR. When I tried to email the PDF it simply attached the photo. I didn't bother trying to use this piece of junk beyond that. I'll be having Apple refund my money. ### 2/5 — Confusing, chaotic crap *2015-01-27, version 3.5.0* Sounds great in the App Store description. Try using it and you will quickly move on to another app that is more clear and descriptive. This app is a confusing screen of icons that make no sense. OK, I can snap or open a jpg from the camera, but then what? No fine rotation tool (like the excellent edit function in the camera roll), no clear and easy button for make pdf. What is seems to do is to just make a new jpg - arrrgghh. I’m still trying to sort this out. Made a jpg, check. Open jpg, check. Now what? I have two 90 degree buttons, a photo tool button, and an OCR button. None of these actually produce a PDF. How is this actually done???? Drop this and move on - there are plenty of other $3-$5 apps that do this better. All I wanted to do was to take a photo and make it a PDF. Still impossible right now. Oh, and I HATE icons that have no clear meaning!! ### 3/5 — It does what it is supposed to, but has room for improvement *2014-08-19, version 3.2.2* The most important thing is that it does do what it claims, but with room for some improvement. The one thing it needs above all else is the ability to select more than one picture when compiling a multiple page document, also a select all ability when importing from a photo album would save a lot of time. The ability to turn on OCR for all pages in a multi-page document would also save a lot of time. iCloud integration would be a plus, as of now only Dropbox is supported. Also the ability to send large document via the email integration would be nice, when trying to send a 520 document via email, the program wouldn't work, I suspect the file size was too large. The OCR is relativity accurate and with those improvements this app would be 5 star. ### 3/5 — Please Help! *2013-01-11, version 3.1.0* This app has become a vital tool during every workday. It has taken the place of paper filing and faxing my customers orders and/or delivery tickets. Lately, the app has been having an issue. When I snap just 1 page, it will not convert that page to PDF. Instead it tries to send as a picture file. My office cannot receive these files and they come through as a red X. Please help! ### 3/5 — Not what I expected: basic scanner, bad OCR *2012-04-24, version 1.2.0* > Fast OCR but sadly, not good at all--rendering searchable PDF as useless I tested this by using Opening the PDF In ReaddleDocs and using text reflow which filtered readable texts in PDF. > Smooth rectification aka free edge handling but no auto/smart detection > Documents can be searched by OCRed text but there is no OCR text displayed or outputted > max photo res output is 1200 x 1600 > no advanced resolution and quality adjust like DocScanner but output PDF maintains high fidelity better than CamScanner--only JPEG has lower fidelity than DocScanner's > no image enhancement available > not supported on iPad 2 (that is for scanning photos from album) It's funny, though because the lite version of WorldCard Mobile shows good OCR when scanning the same photo but cropped. Maybe it only works well on minimum text? My main reason in buying this is to see whether it boasts good OCR. Unfortunately, no but for mere scanning, this is basically good. As of writing, the best OCR apps I have are: 1. Ricoh's Image To Text--online but non-confidential OCR 2. ABBYY's TextGrabber + Translator--offline and editable OCR 3. DocScanner--scanner with offline but non-editable OCR ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works for searchable PDFs *2014-12-11, version 3.5.0* Works great as a searchable pdf generator. This is great for scanning in text. I only wish it was better at scanning in data like numbers in tables and could turn them into a spreadsheet (like excel). Also it would be nice to have one drive or other cloud service integration. ### 5/5 — Best way to document my papers *2014-02-26, version 3.2.0* I was trying to find a way to photograph and search documents from notes and pages that I couldn't take with me. Shared pages with friends, colleagues and clients. This app is soo much better than just taking a photograph. The text recognition is the key for my happiness here. Definately a great find and a great buy! ### 5/5 — Really great app! *2014-02-26, version 3.2.0* I have to deal with tons of paperwork for my job, and this app has been nothing short of a lifesaver for me. The organization of the app makes it incredibly easy for me to keep all of my files in order. It’s easy to use, has never caused me any problems yet, and saves tons of time - probably the best $1.99 I’ve ever spent. I highly recommend this app - 5/5 stars! ### 5/5 — Easy as snap! *2014-02-22, version 3.2.0* I have to be honest, Snap2PDF is one of the most useful apps I have found on the app store. From ease of scanning, to ease of sharing, Snap2PDF gets the job (and I mean all of them) done! One of my favorite features is the ability to make scanned documents searchable. Thats like a real USB scanner that I’d Plug into my computer. Good Job, Developers! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Business Approved, Great App *2014-02-22, version 3.2.0* This had become one of my primary tools in my work field. Because the need of scanning my client forms and proposals, this app has made it possible to have all my forms on the go, organized. Also great for my personal documents when I need them at spontaneous times. Cloud feature is nice for backing up too. Overall, solid built app, easy interface, utilize in seconds. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-02-20, version 3.2.0* This app has helped me stay more organized. This is the most used cam app other than the camera itself! Does a great job cleaning up and de-skewing. This app has been great for saving copied of documents and many other applications. App is easy to use, good value and works as promised. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use PDF App! *2014-02-20, version 3.2.0* The interface is clean and intuitive, works fast. Application functionality enable speedy transfer to PDF files, very easily to share them! Easy to create categories and grouping them, quick translation - checked the English and Russian. Good Scanner, recognized as English and Russian language, surprised me! liked the convenient search. Nothing superfluous in the interface, It took 10 minutes to fully get used to the app, as for me it is a great indicator of quality! ### 5/5 — It's exactly what i need! *2014-02-19, version 3.2.0* Having an app like this one; with so many useful features is unbelievable!.. it runs great, never had a crash and is quite simple to use. Developers did an outstanding job! I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — A MUST HAVE!! *2014-02-14, version 3.2.0* This app saves me so much time! I can work from my phone creating pdfs for my business during my commute. I love scanning and storing receipts as well to eliminate the paper clutter. This app never locks up and has an excellent user interface. I highly recommend this app for business and personal use. Well worth the price for the time it saves you! A+ ### 5/5 — Excellent ! Like a real scanner ! *2014-02-14, version 3.2.0* In my field of work, I'm rarely in the office and almost in the field. Since it is for the company and not personal. I got its app because I always have shoeboxes full of receipts completely unorganized except that the shoe box usually has only 1-3 years worth of receipts in it. This app has helped me stay more organized. It also makes filling your receipts a walk in the park. Once you have folder simply drop your scans into them, or better yet, open the folder you want to add to before you take the picture/scan. Though the app is a bit on the expensive side, it is worth it even for the limited ways I use it. Highly recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
