  1. [R2] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US 10+ year user: I’ve been a user of this app for more than 10 years and I have really appreciated the flexibility of it and being able to send the files in multiple different ways
  2. [R3] Genius Scan Enterprise 3/5 · US Long tine using, very honest feedback!: Good things: I have this app more than 5-6 years. 1)I got it when it was free. 2)This app is really nice app and it has very few bugs, almost zero. 3)It is very easy to use and 4)selection is one of the best and favorite. Bed things: 1) Even though it is paid version, they added some stuff in it that is asking for upgrade. 2)They do not have AI and files
  3. [R5] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Superb App: This is easily one of the handful of apps I use most. Exceptional utility in a very simple intuitive app with all the features one needs for recording documents for electronic storage. I would give it TEN stars that’s how much I love it.
  4. [R9] Genius Scan Enterprise 3/5 · US Excellent app but buggy export capabilities: App does a fantastic job of creating high resolution PDFs, but it’s very buggy when it comes to exporting documents to third-party apps like Box. Can this be fixed?
  5. [R4] Genius Scan Enterprise 2/5 · US Not improving: I’ve stuck with this app from the beginning. However, I’m ready to switch. It’s not that it doesn’t work but that it doesn’t work easily. When I have to scan a group of documents it is a serious pain. It doesn’t recognize the borders of the documents anymore, and the “auto” edit isn’t auto and the curvature correction has to be turned on for every individual scan. Why aren’t the set
  6. [R6] Genius Scan Enterprise 3/5 · US Great for work: The user experience is a tad clunky but it is well worth the price and it certainly does what it says it does on the tin.
  7. [R7] Genius Scan Enterprise 1/5 · US Recent update broke scanning: Looking for a license key despite having a lifetime license.
  8. [R8] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Genius Scan, very cool: Very helpful app! Have used for years on iPad and iPhone.
  9. [R13] Genius Scan Enterprise 1/5 · US Not taking good scans: Scans are not coming out correctly
  10. [R23] Genius Scan Enterprise 1/5 · US Where’s my OCR???: 1 star! Scans great! Didn’t convert handwritten notes to text, so I wasted $24.99. Scam
  11. [R21] Genius Scan Enterprise 2/5 · US Great for scanning, terrible cloud: I use this app for three years. The scanner has made tremendous strides, and is probably one of the best on the market. I subscribe to the cloud service to keep my documents there for business. Now I can’t login and see them. So my business is at a standstill and all my emails to support have gone unanswered. Don’t waste your time buying the cloud. Use the free
  12. [R58] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Error Code Support: Was receiving an error code after an upgrade. Reached out to Genius Scan tech support and had a resolution in 36 hours. Great support.
  13. [R60] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Good customer service!: I contacted support & made a review as I could not use the app. I have owned it since it came out & referred many people. It was giving me an error. Support emailed and explained they had an error and apologized and gave me links to the updates. Issues happen. (Though I used to be the Dir of IT Quality, I recommend testing.) However how a company responds is very import
  14. [R84] TurboScan™ 1/5 · US Doesn’t email: I downloaded , paid for the app. Scanned documents and they won’t email . Emailed the support team no reply. Waste of time and money.
  15. [R43] Genius Scan Enterprise 2/5 · GB Just takes photos really.: If like me you want to go paperless and still keep track of receipts and important documents you would be looking at apps like this. However I would strongly recommend trying the free version before wasting money on this app. My main reason for dislike is the lack of OCR integration that many other apps of this type include. Save your money and look at Scanbot.
  16. [R86] TurboScan™ 1/5 · US No free: It is not Free!! Use it twice and then they want your Apple Password. Is this a scam??
  17. [R92] TurboScan™ 1/5 · GB TurboScan: Freezes until you pay 6.99. No mention of this on App Store. Misleading ad.
  18. [R96] TurboScan™ 2/5 · GB Was ok until they want you to upgrade: Can't use it as it asks you to upgrade if not to restore purchase but it won't restore so you have to buy it for £6.99 I don't think so!!
  19. [R100] TurboScan™ 1/5 · GB Not free: Not really free. Makes u download premium
  20. [R26] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Great App: Extremely useful. Easy to use, and scans come out very good. Integration with Google Drive works flawlessly. TOTALLY worth the price (for the plus version).
  21. [R35] Genius Scan Enterprise 1/5 · GB OneNote export stopped working: I’ve used this app for years for scanning and exporting paper documents to OneNote. Recently the export function has stopped working. I’ve double checked settings and even tried Microsoft Lens which exported fine. Please fix before I go elsewhere!
  22. [R46] Genius Scan Enterprise 5/5 · US Great, easy to use: This app is simple to use and does a great job. You can quickly scan your document then export it in several ways. I send docs to my Dropbox account. Works great.
