Docusy is the iPhone scanner that edits what it reads. Tap any word in a scanned document and change it — in 17 languages. Sign, merge, search, share. Nothing leaves your device. EDIT SCANNED TEXT Scan a document and Docusy detects every word. Tap to correct, replace, or rewrite. Edits match your document's font and colour so changes look native, not pasted on. Works in every supported language, including Arabic and Persian right-to-left. READ THE DETAILS Scan a receipt, invoice, business card, or ID and Docusy pulls out the details — totals, dates, names, and numbers. Export them as CSV, or as Word and Excel documents where detected tables become real rows. Docusy tells a receipt from an invoice and sorts your library by type, so the document you need is one tap away. Add a detected date straight to your calendar. TRANSLATE ON THE PAGE Read a document in another language. Docusy translates the text into any language your device supports, right where it sits, and flips between the original and the translation with a tap. On your device, private as ever. SIGN AND SEND Draw your signature once. Place it on any PDF in seconds. Save multiple signatures for personal and business use. PROTECT WHAT MATTERS Lock Docusy with Face ID or your passcode, and export password-protected, encrypted PDFs. Your documents stay yours — stored safely on your device, by design. SCAN ANYTHING Scan paper documents with your camera, or import PDFs and photos from Files and Photos. Merge up to 6 PDFs into one in a single tap. Export as PDF, image, Word, Excel, CSV, or ZIP — print, AirDrop, email, or share with any app. BUILT INTO FILES Sign or edit any PDF straight from the iOS Files share sheet — no need to open the app first. Docusy adds "Add Signature" and "Edit as PDF" as one-tap actions wherever your documents live. SPOTLIGHT, SIRI & SHORTCUTS Find any scanned document from your home screen — Spotlight searches the text inside every scan. Open, search, or scan with Siri or a Shortcut. Build your own document automations. SEARCH EVERY DOCUMENT Find a name, a date, an address — Docusy searches the text inside every scanned PDF, instantly, offline. Pin the documents you reach for most. iPHONE, iPAD, MAC, APPLE VISION One purchase, every Apple device. A redesigned iPad and Mac layout — with a sidebar and a rethought PDF editor — makes the most of the bigger screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No accounts. No servers. No internet required. We can't see your documents because we don't have them. NO ADS. NO WATERMARKS. Export clean PDFs. No "Made with Docusy" stamp on your scans. 17 LANGUAGES Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian. Full right-to-left layout for Arabic and Persian. Scan a receipt. Sign a tenancy agreement. Fix a typo in a form. Archive a contract. Docusy handles documents the way Apple apps should — on your device, in your language, respecting your privacy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Awesome Scanner at 4.6 against Docusy's 4.0. Awesome Scanner also leads on ratings volume (130 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). Docusy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Awesome Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Awesome Scanner has 130 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Awesome Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Docusy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Awesome Scanner ships an update every 2 months, Docusy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
