That's the home screen. - Large text and large buttons throughout - Every button says what it does, in words - Works completely offline YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Nothing is uploaded. There is no cloud, no account, no sign-in. Your files appear in the Files app on your iPhone, so they are yours to move or back up however you like. WHAT IT DOES - Scans one page or fifty, and finds the edges for you - Makes searchable PDFs, so you can find text inside a scan later - Find any word in any scan, even words inside the picture — free, always - Add pages from your photo library or from another PDF - Email, message, print, or save to Files - Rename anything, delete anything, no questions about why FAIR AND CLEAR Scan as much as you like for free, forever. Sharing your first 3 documents is free too. After that, ScanSimple Forever is a single payment. Not a subscription. Not weekly, not monthly, not ever again. Paying also unlocks folders, so you can keep bills, letters and receipts apart. Folders you have already made stay yours even if you never pay again. There is a yearly option if you would rather pay less up front, but the one-time unlock is the point. There is no free trial that quietly turns into a charge. You see the price, you decide. No watermarks. Not ever.
