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!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — It just does not keep files *2014-06-13, version 1.3* Unfortunately, whatever you do right all the way through doesn't matter because all evidence of a file will evaporate. Do not waste your time. Have a nice day. ### 1/5 — No picture *2014-05-23* Worked well for a while, but now I see that the last several captures I've taken become blank screens. Turning phone and app off to reset doesn't help. Several days worth or receipts are ... Gone! ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Auto corner / sizing not working *2014-08-03* Pic is good but auto size not working ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Mostly an excellent scanner application *2014-08-04* This application is great for scanning receipts and uploading to drop box using an iPad. Only one issue in months of use. ### 5/5 — Dr. *2013-11-30* Great app to use in a pinch. Saved my bacon this weekend when I needed to scan a document to my realtor while out in the field. ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2013-11-19* It's a great app for my business. The features to reposition and straighten docs is cool!! Highly recommend TravelScan app. ### 4/5 — Like It *2014-04-06* After a brief trial I like this app very much. It has all the features I want when at the library and wanting to copy something. Lots of options in format and where to stash the scan. ### 3/5 — Feature request *2014-04-07* It would be great to add in a setting to turn off auto-cropping. Multi-page (15-20) scans that need to be readjusted is a pain. Being used in a transportation logostics company. Otherwise, great app! ### 3/5 — Meh *2013-12-12* Automatic detection of document corners doesn't work for me. Handling of unclear/mangled originals is only so-so. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
