## What is Zoho Scanner?

Zoho Scanner is the most powerful document-scanning app on your iPhone and iPad. Precisely scan paper documents, business cards, receipts, and more. Share your documents as images or PDFs. You can use OCR to convert documents to text.

SCAN

Quickly turn your iPhone or iPad into a convenient document scanner. Scan anything of your choice, ranging from business cards and receipts to multi-page documents. Zoho Scanner smartly identifies the paper document's edges and adds a crisp scan of the document. You can also add document images from your photo gallery.

ANNOTATE AND FILTER

Crop, edit, rotate, and annotate your scanned docs. Easily re-order pages within a scanned document and choose from a variety of filters to apply.

E-SIGNATURE

Verify your identity by adding your signature, powered by Zoho Sign. Digitally sign documents yourself and email the signed documents to others.

OCR AND TRANSLATE

Zoho Scanner uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert documents to text. OCR enables you to search for a document based on content so you can always find what you need. You can even use the app to translate extracted content into 15 different languages.

Set Zoho Scanner to automatically upload your scanned documents to other apps, so you can share and use them. Zoho Scanner integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Zoho WorkDrive, Zoho Expense, and more. Easily share your scanned docs via email and other apps as well. Create workflows to automate tasks and save time.

ORGANIZE

### 1/5 — Geniale App … wenn die Suche wieder ginge

*2026-07-05*

Update 07/2026: 
seit einigen Monaten funktioniert die Suche nicht mehr. Leider gab es auf meine Anmerkung aus der App heraus keine Reaktion. Ohne eine funktionierende Suche mit OCR ist eine Sammlung von eingescannten Dokumenten quasi nutzlos.
Bitte unbedingt den Fehler beheben, damit man wieder an seine Unterlagen rankommt!
Danke!

Update 2023: Bin total begeistert, entweder ist die App deutlich verbessert worden, oder ich hab endlich den Dreh raus :-) Ein großes Dankeschön an die Entwickler! Einscannen von Kassenbelegen geht nun quasi von alleine, kein manuelles Aufnehmen und anschließendes Zurechtschneiden mehr nötig, egal, wie lang der Beleg ist. Das geht super fix, die App erkennt den Beleg innerhalb 1- 2 Sekunden und ist auch dann beim Abspeichern sehr schnell. Die Volltext-Suche funktioniert auch sehr gut, allerdings nur aus der obersten Ordnerstruktur heraus, nicht innerhalb eines Unterordners.

### 1/5 — Compte obligatoire

*2026-02-09*

Je rédige cet avis car je suis très mécontent. D’après les conditions d’Apple, on est pas obligé de créer un compte pour pouvoir utiliser l’application. Ceci est respecté à moitié. En effet, faut se connecter pour importer un fichier. Ce qui est scandaleux. De plus on nous demande le numéro de téléphone ce qui n’a rien à voir avec l’application et qui n’est même pas important. Je déconseille fortement cette application, je vais en profiter pour le signaler à Apple pour non-respect des condition général.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre votre expérience et comprenons vos préoccupations. Zoho Scanner peut être utilisé sans créer de compte pour les fonctionnalités de base comme la numérisation. La connexion est requise uniquement pour certaines fonctionnalités, comme la synchronisation cloud ou l’importation depuis des services connectés.

Nous ne collectons pas d’informations inutilement, et les données demandées sont utilisées uniquement pour activer des fonctionnalités spécifiques.

Si vous avez besoin de précisions ou d’aide, veuillez nous contacter à support@zohoscanner.com
 — nous serons ravis de vous aider.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-04*

Literally the best scanner app i have used till date. Much much better than the iphone notes app scanner

### 4/5 — Can't use now

*2025-11-01*

I can't download or update the Zoho Scanner app from yesterday from app Store . it starts downloading but never completes. Already tried deleting and downloading again. Please see this

### 1/5 — Zoho Scanner App – Account Deletion Issue

*2025-10-28*

After installing and registering on this document scanner app, the initial experience seemed fine with its basic features working correctly. However, a serious problem arose when I tried to delete my account from within the app. Even though there is a clear option in the app for deleting an account, the deletion process does not work. No confirmation is received and the account remains active, despite repeated attempts.
This kind of behavior is suspicious and raises serious privacy concerns.

**Developer response:** Hi, We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you faced while trying to delete your account. The delete option in the app is intended to permanently remove your account and data, so this isn’t the expected behavior.

Please write to us at support@zohoscanner.com with your registered email address, and our team will help you resolve this promptly. We take your privacy and data security very seriously and will ensure this issue is addressed right away.

### 5/5 — Best alternative for Adobe Scan

*2025-10-15, version 5.0.4*

Great app and no issues. Best alternative for Adobe Scan

### 5/5 — Needs more user friendly

*2025-10-12*

It should be more user friendly as like Microsoft Lens scanner file management, after scanning not as much user-friendly

### 2/5 — Why isn’t it working optimally?

*2025-10-08*

I downloaded the app and used a t for the first time … unlike the preview shown in the store, the app doesn’t show many features. I was unable to save the scanned document to any folder or to any other app or location … need improvements

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry for the trouble saving your scans — this isn’t the expected experience. We’ve improved saving and sharing options in recent updates, so please try the latest version.

If you still face issues, contact support@zohoscanner.com
 — we’ll be glad to help.

### 3/5 — Good Scan poor editing options

*2025-10-05*

I am shifting to Zoho from AdobeScan, though the scan feature is satisfactory, cropping the scanned page is having glitches. Also add “erase tool” in this app to simply clean unwanted section by white or page colour.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for choosing Zoho Scanner and sharing detailed feedback. We’ve noted the cropping glitches and we’ve improved in recent updates, so please try the latest version.. We also appreciate your suggestion for an erase tool and will consider adding it in future updates.

If you need any help, please reach out to support@zohoscanner.com
