1. [R5] 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
2. [R11] CamScanner 5/5 · US Great convenience: I have been working in real estate sales for many many years. This tool has been instrumental and keeping all of my files organized. I highly recommend.
3. [R23] CamScanner 5/5 · US Love this app: This is my go to app for sending docs. It’s SO easy and convenient.
4. [R71] ScanGuru 4/5 · US Love this: Just Sometimes it hard to scan it is not able to frame my document and need to adjust But I am so happy I could save my certificates and letters
5. [R42] CamScanner 5/5 · US Easy to use: App works great! Easy to take pictures for time tickets. Send it via email, professional!
6. [R64] ScanGuru 1/5 · US Very hard to use!!: Very hard to use, no instructions, error, messages, coming up with no explanation. so far, not impressed with the app. I was thinking about purchasing it but not anymore.
7. [R1] 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.
8. [R4] 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.
9. [R19] CamScanner 2/5 · US Tricked me: I’ve had can scanner before. Recently paid for yearly subscription and now to send multiple pdf’s you have to upgrade to a ridiculous price. I already paid for the year, so I guess I can email only one page at a time. I wouldn’t have even bought the year
10. [R77] ScanGuru 1/5 · US Please read!: Scan Guru advertised a free trial but then charged high, undisclosed, and recurring subscription fees. I canceled the application before the 7‑day trial ended, specifically on 03/02/2026, and I have a screenshot confirming the cancellation. Despite canceling on time, I was still charged, and I am now being billed for an additional week even though the subscription period ended on 03/19
11. [R3] CamScanner 3/5 · US To many advertisement: To many advertisement
12. [R12] CamScanner 3/5 · GB Paid app and still too many adverts: Very bad experience as too many adverts & looks like spam messages popping up even though I have subscribed for the premium. It’s happening recently & must be fixed
13. [R70] ScanGuru 1/5 · US Payment: I wish it was free to use but I’m so disappointed with this
14. [R25] CamScanner 2/5 · US now missing last 3 months: no help support - be aware :-(
15. [R45] CamScanner 1/5 · US Scammed me out of $60: I signed up for a free trial, was told I’d be sent a reminder of when it ended, and was sent no reminder and was instead hit with a $60 charge. Scummy practice and I will be trying to get a refund.
16. [R61] ScanGuru 2/5 · US No better than iPhone: And very difficult to cancel subscription. It refused to cancel on the app and told me to cancel it here.
17. [R119] ScanGuru 2/5 · US Unsubscribe: Hard to unsubscribe
