### 2/5 — Nice & Simple but just doesn’t work

*2021-03-07, version 1.6*

Loved the simple way it worked and didn’t want ridiculously priced version. But was surprised when it didn’t want to access my camera and subsequently it took no scan.
I’ve reloaded it several times with no luck.
So I’ve had to let it go. Once you’ve sorted that issue you’ve got a great app.

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading

*2020-12-18, version 1.6*

Sorry I tried the app wasn’t good 
I thought I’d give the benefit of the doubt 
I might as well take the picture on my phone 
Maybe update it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-05-18, version 1.6*

Took several photos to use as documents it said that they had done but when you try to open them as documents they don’t open waste of time

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2018-04-10*

Worked for a while, however now when I attempt to send a copied file to myself via email it arrives without the attached document. Also, the camera feature of my phone takes clearer pictures than what the app captures. A bit disappointing.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2015-08-21*

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. worst app ever. Works 1 out of every 10 times. Never have I ever wanted to hurt someone or something so much as when I'm trying to use this app. Makes you have zero patience. DO NOT USE.

### 1/5 — -@&$;

*2015-06-27*

Do not use

### 1/5 — ********DO**** NOT****USE********

*2014-12-09*

I used this app once and it hacked our email accounts!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2014-09-13*

Very handy app to have.

### 5/5 — Terrific App

*2014-09-03*

This is proving to be a very useful app when out of the office.  Works well with the camera in my iPhone 4s.  The multi-page PDF is very helpful and lacking in some of the competitive apps.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2014-08-26*

Great pocket scanner. Does just what it says. No gimmicks.
