1. [R3] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US It works: I have tried using many different scanners. This is the best scan app I found that actually works and actually saves and helps you keep track of all your files to be scanned and sent. Easy to use easy to send files via email. I don’t write reviews too many times, but this is actually a good app Thank you
2. [R11] Scanner Mini 5/5 · US Práctica, sencilla y de calidad: Me encanta la practicidad, en cuestión de segundos puedo escanear los documentos desde mi celular, y la calidad de la imagen impresiónante! Me ayuda increíble esta app!
3. [R12] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US Not really free. Pay to export.: Disappointing... It’s “free” to download but you can’t actually export the scans (which is the whole point) unless you pay for the pro.
4. [R18] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US OCR not included in free version: I only downloaded this to do a quick down and dirty OCR job on a few files, and it looks like i have to pay to be able to use the OCR feature. Other than that, I suppose it’s clean and simple, seems to function well. It’s very snappy and responsive, I like the layout and what it looks like. Very clean. I was able to crop easily, works excellent and fast. But no OC
5. [R6] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US Review scanner: Hard for senior citizen to understand!!
6. [R9] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US Automatic image capturing: I generally happy with this app though. Automatic image capturing function is getting much worse in last few updates. It worked great few years ago.
7. [R10] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Auto capture does not work: This app (and Scanner Pro) only works intermittently. The auto-capture function essentially does not work. When it does detect a book or document it can’t hold on long enough to take a picture/scan. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and rebooted my phone several times. My only option is to look for a scanning app that actually does what its developers claim it w
8. [R13] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Scanner: Used to love this scanner. Iv used it for 7 years , but lately has not been working very well at all . Hopefully they can fix the problem .
9. [R16] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US software untouchable and quits accidentally: very bad experience and i payed for this
10. [R21] Scanner Mini 3/5 · US Rating: Initially this was efficient and useful. Later when I updated it all of my documents weren’t saved or retrievable. Therefore I am give it 3stars. Otherwise a good app when paired with a PDF app.
11. [R4] Scanner Mini 2/5 · US HELLO? What happened?: Love this app UNTIL TODAY. What do you mean there’s no more Scanner Mini??? I downloaded the new Pro app but what happened to all previous documents??
12. [R5] Scanner Mini 5/5 · US Sad to see it go: Not looking forward to paying for an alternative
13. [R7] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Force users to buy Scanner Pro: I purchased the full pack of Scanner Mini in 2022 as this it is a lifetime pack. Today the app notifies that the Mini app will not be available after Jan. 1, 2026, forcing users to move to its subscription-based Scanner Pro with an offer of 6-month free subscription. Guess why I purchased the lifetime mini full pack?? That’s because I didn’t and still don’t want t
14. [R36] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Careful, scammers!: I bought the app in 2014. The paid version removed the watermark limit and cost $2 back then. The app was recently updated, and my purchase was canceled. Support does not respond or do anything. · translated
15. [R84] 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
16. [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!
17. [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
18. [R40] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Don’t use this ever!!!: You can do everything g up to the end, then wants your money. Never again chief! Much better apps out there that don’t pull this tihs. Bad business model
19. [R46] Scanner Mini 1/5 · US Completely Useless: Cannot do anything without buying the upgrade. Cannot even access the photos it’s has taken from outside of the app. This doesn’t do anything I can’t already do with the native Camera App, and with that I can do more including creating an eventual PDF.
20. [R85] 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,
21. [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.
