1. [R1] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US “update” took away the ability to preselect doc size: The app worked fine until the developer decided to force auto select page size on all scans. Silly “update” causes me to have to adjust size of every single page manually because their stupid AI thought the page is legal size while it’s actually A5. I’ll delete the app and download something else that uses common sense.
2. [R7] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Ruined perfect app with AI: This app used to be perfection. AI has ruined it. My default page size setting for ALL documents was letter. I want 99% of what I scan to be letter. Their new AI now sets the size to what it think it is. If I scan 15 pages and it makes them ledger, I have to change every page, doubling my workload. This happens even if I turn off the AI. They have removed the default pa
3. [R24] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · GB REVISED REVIEW … from originally ‘Really impressed!’ to ‘DOWNHEARTED’: REVISED REVIEW: Something has changed. The automatic facility doesn’t seem to work anymore. The scanner used to select, focus, scan…. allowing me to turn a page in a book, or place a new document. Now, there’s an option to scan two pages of a book simultaneously… requiring an enormous feat for two-handed bipeds.. but a piec
4. [R3] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · US Keeps crashing: I’ve been using this app for years. It’s been very reliable so far, but it keeps crashing since the latest upgrade. Very frustrating.
5. [R16] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Frequent crashes: This App crashes all the time in the middle of a simple two-document capture. I’ve used it for years with great success, but in the last 6-months it’s been awful.
6. [R19] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 2/5 · US Latest update crashed: After it asked about some AI slop page detection it started crashing a few seconds after opening.
7. [R21] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · GB Support is non existent: Scanner newly starting to crash after 10 pages. So I’m scanning as I have done on this fantastic app, the documents are always 15 pages long. After years of doing this in one go, now the screen goes black on page 10, then duplicates a page and after a screen tap and a shake I can resume. It cause extra pages to be printed every time and longer documents than necessary as
8. [R4] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Subscription and AI: Stop pushing them on my face.
9. [R10] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Watermark. Useless app: I used to use this app all the time. It WAS great for easy scanning. But now it’s behind a paywall if you don’t want to submit all your assignments with an embarrassing watermark. Come on guys. Really? You could have put ads on it and it would have been fine.
10. [R13] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Subscription pricing on that are not listed in the App Store: I have found that I was being charged two separate subscriptions however I was led to believe based on information listed the certain tools were included that one of the subscriptions was supposed to be included with Scanner Pro plus that I was being charged for the Scanner Pro plus $7.99 a week in Scanner Pro expense report for and $$4
11. [R25] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US No matter how much you pay they want more: I’ve purchased every product this company ever put out. Then they went to a subscription model and stopped supporting the lifetime licenses they had previously sold. Even then, I understood and would subscribe to app during times I was using the app to do more than take a picture of a document and name it. So long as I had the original core functionality,
12. [R6] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · US Clean Lens: Constant issues with the app telling me to clean the lens, even after cleaning it. Not sure what they changed recently, but it is frustrating.
13. [R12] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · US Scanning music: The app was so good and now I cannot even see the staff lines for music when I print it out. It does not show clear lines. Wonder if the update was to make the file size smaller.. it‘s becoming worthless for musicians.
14. [R33] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 2/5 · US Camera not working with app: I used to love this app, but I’m no longer to take pictures within the app of my receipts. If they fix this then I would give them 5 stars.
15. [R47] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · GB Every scan goes to black and white: Every scan goes to black and white
16. [R15] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · GB Search is broken on iOS 18: This has been the best scanner on the App Store for a decade, but not anymore. Its scanning ability is the same as ever, with excellent OCR for every scan. But the new UI introduced this year is terribly slow. I don't think it's a native iOS app anymore. What's worse, if you try to open a document from a search everything will blink, and it might take a dozen taps to
17. [R22] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 2/5 · US They keep adding extra steps to getting things done.: It now takes twice as many clicks to get things done as it once did. The pathetic designers thinks wasting time with convoluted paths to get work done makes their product better. As I've said before, I will not renew my subscription b/c they just keep adding useless steps to make people think they're improving the app. My iPhone can do the same
18. [R51] CamScanner 1/5 · US Scamcanner: These jerks renewed my annual subscription without letting me know in advance that I would not receive all or most of the benefits included in the subscription last year when I signed up for it. Though the service in general is helpful, I cannot at all recommend the subscription because the developers are obviously not trustworthy.
19. [R53] CamScanner 1/5 · US Sketchy Upgrade Stealing Information: There’s been a new upgrade and all the files that I’ve had scanned in the past which were important documents suddenly have disappeared. I’m super frustrated and will escalate this case because this is completely unethical.
20. [R54] CamScanner 5/5 · US Great scanner tool: Wow saw this on Facebook and it works so well. Just install it and scanned my papers in less than a minute. Works great love it and is simple to use
21. [R57] CamScanner 1/5 · US No way to delete completely: If you you transfer via link it uploads your file to the cloud and no way to then delete the file. Ever
22. [R65] iScanner 1/5 · US Don’t use this: You need to pay to be able to use it and it’s impossible to cancel your subscription.
23. [R66] iScanner 5/5 · US Very useful: I have used the app for years and I am very happy with it.
24. [R67] iScanner 3/5 · US Is it really worth the $12/week?: Don’t get me wrong - this app is leagues better for photoscanning than any other app I’ve tried. The colors are vibrant, and the images are nice and aligned. My only gripes are that it doesn’t tell you about the price until you try to share your scan, and that the price is twelve dollars per week (after the one week free trial). It can only reasonably be said to b
25. [R68] iScanner 1/5 · US Horrible: Don’t use. Since the new update it’s extremely slow and not worth the effort.
26. [R79] Scanner App 1/5 · US Free version only black and white: They don’t let you modify how you scan on the free version
27. [R80] Scanner App 5/5 · US The best- perfected: This is everything a light K business pro needs. Lifesaver!
28. [R81] Scanner App 3/5 · US Worked great for a long time but no longer: This app was amazing and always reliable for a long time. Unfortunately, it no longer sends documents. I’ve tried sending documents to my email multiple times over the last two months and nothing. It acts like it sends but the documents never arrive. I may try uninstalling and reinstalling, to see if that fixes it. But it is very unfortunate that it has
29. [R82] Scanner App 2/5 · US No longer able to: I’m no longer able to import screenshots for some reason
30. [R93] Scanner 1/5 · US Does not work: Very disappointed
31. [R94] Scanner 5/5 · US Clear and easy scan: This little handy dandy scanner on my phone sure makes my life a lot easier it scans really simply and attach all documents together as a group making it easier to forward to myself and save on my computer when I don’t have my Scanner handy to be honest it’s even better than my Scanner because I don’t have to get up and go and literally do it at my desk
32. [R95] Scanner 3/5 · US Ads appear compromised: Lately I’ve been getting ads of what is called scareware telling me I have viruses on my phone or my accounts are locked and asking me to download. I’ve had a tech perform a security scan and my phone is clean so I’ve course I’m not intending on clicking on the compromised ads. I’ll be deleting and using another application for my pdf needs
33. [R96] Scanner 1/5 · US Hidden charges: I paid for 9.99 a month but somehow I ended up paying around 50 dollars a month and I don’t even use this app! They were taking money from me for soo long and I didn’t know it
34. [R107] Scanner App. JPG 1/5 · US Scam: Scam paywall.
35. [R108] Scanner App. JPG 5/5 · US UCIS Alexandra Gendenberg: Alix Martin Law group
36. [R109] Scanner App. JPG 3/5 · US Cod code please: Cod code please
37. [R110] Scanner App. JPG 1/5 · US Subscription required: if you are looking for a free scanner, don't waste your time with this. It is also priced extremely high for what it does.
38. [R35] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US No free export: Being able to export without a watermark is not a premium feature. These are the table stakes. If I can’t do that the app is useless. I am not letting you extort me for basic functionality.
39. [R40] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 5/5 · US Wonderful tool!: We have been using scanner pro’s free version for several years. It’s easy to use, images are very clear and it’s free! Great tool that everyone needs!
40. [R43] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · GB Free?: Loaded this because it said free. 3 day trial then payment. No thank you. I hope I’m not charged I’ve now deleted app
41. [R27] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 3/5 · GB Good scanning, but subscription prompts have become intrusive.: I have always been a strong proponent of this App, even as storage Apps such as OneDrove have caught up with native scanning features. OCR is very good and I’ve not had major issues with border detection that others have mentioned. I am, however, getting fed up with the subscription ads and prompts. My most recent interaction with th
