I really like this app. I am scanning so many papers and short documents and making my life less-cluttered. I love the ability to save to Apple Notes.

I’ve used this app for years, but I think it’s time for a change. It scans well and the file system is good. But it takes way too much time to actually scan documents. The auto edit setting is not auto, nor can it be as far as I can tell. Curvature correction has to turned on individually for each page of each scan. It also cannot find the outline of a doc to crop even on a black background. If you scan a group of pages each one has to opened and edited. Also, the add scan button is on the far left bottom of the screen making it difficult to use with one hand. I’m sad to report all of this, but I’ve put up with it long enough.

This app has saved me on several occasions. The scan is so quick and clean. Looks like it went through a printer scanner.

This app has simplified my life! It makes it so easy to have the documents I need on hand. And if I need to send something to a person or business, I just open the app and a minute later, it’s done. I highly recommend it - whether you use the app for business , personal, or both.

This is the best scanning app I’ve ever used on iPhone ever. You don’t even need to pay to get the main feature of scanning photos!! It auto crops and auto scans everything. All you have to do is take a pic! This app was really a lifesaver for me, I had important documents that were partially destroyed in a flood, and unable to be scanned with a printer scanner. But I was able to scan with them with this app, and it did a good job saving the most important parts of the document (even with water damage). Overall, this app is so excellent and I’m so glad they didn’t make the main feature of the scan payable. It’s basically a free service that does everything you need to do and you don’t have to pay. This app is so awesome. I hope it always stays like this and I’m really grateful for how useful and how many times this has come in clutch for school too!
