  1. [R2] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US Accurate: Scans are clear,very happy
  2. [R8] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US Best Scanner App - No Question: Simpler, more effective, and generates better documents than any other scanner app out there, and that includes Adobe
  3. [R61] 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.
  4. [R67] 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
  5. [R21] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US So Easy!: I love this app so much. I use it for everything I need to file away. Works well and it’s amazingly easy to use.
  6. [R36] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US Best Phone Scanner in the World: I have been using TurboScan for over a decade. I use it for work, buying a house, I use it for every document I’ve ever had to scan and share. TurboScan is hands-down the most efficient and user friendly way to save and share files. The one time purchase is an exceptional deal!
  7. [R82] 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
  8. [R87] 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
  9. [R34] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US Top Tier: I’ve been using the TurboScan App for over 7 years! Highly reliable and holds up to the functionality it says it’s used for. I use this app for my family, my business, and church.
  10. [R63] 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.
  11. [R76] 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.
  12. [R16] TurboScan™ Pro 5/5 · US Love this app!: Some companies charge per month. TurboScan charges you one time and you own the app forever. I downloaded it into all my phones.
  13. [R70] 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.
  14. [R88] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Bought and now have to buy again.: I purchased this app several years ago and have loved it but now I have to buy an annual subscription. I thought paying for the app in the beginning was good enough, but they decided they needed to continue monetizing it so now it’s a subscription model.
  15. [R4] TurboScan™ Pro 1/5 · US Apps issue: I absolutely loved the app for years until it just stopped allowing me to email my scans. Now it’s a waste of time and there is no customer support.
  16. [R7] TurboScan™ Pro 1/5 · US No support. No search for Folders: I'm hoping I can get the developers of TurboScan's attention by giving them a one star review because they give you no way to contact them. Firstly. I use a lot of folders on TurboScan. There is no way to search for a folder. Folders are not listed in alphabetical order. It's all random. Another problem with folders is there's only one way to find a particula
  17. [R116] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Junk: I have had nothing but issues with the app crashing and unable to scan. They have zero support for this. Waste of my money!
  18. [R118] Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents 1/5 · US Bought Pro, Got Nothing: The moment this app was released, I purchased it because it seemed genuinely useful and promising. I paid for the Pro version in full. After recent updates, the app has effectively stripped me of access to what I already paid for and now aggressively pushes a monthly subscription instead. The “restore purchase” function is completely broken and does absolutely nothing. Cus
