Ratings and Reviews
Absolutely essential to my life - unparalleled in quality.
I don’t believe I’ve ever written a review on an app. I’m taking the time to write this because this app is THAT outstanding. It’s become essential to my daily life. I regularly need to scan documents in and then access them via my computer. I considered buying a more expensive scanner, but with this app, there is simply no need. If I hold my camera at the wrong angle, Genius Scan fixes it for me. It compensates for angles and bumps and misalignments and churns out an absolutely professional looking scan in seconds. It’s so accurate, it genuinely looks like it was a saved document, never having been printed and scanned. If, for some reason, my document is wonky and scans a weird edge, Genius scan lets me fix it.
Over and above its perfect scans, it allows me to export…down to the very subfolder… of my Google Drive, my Microsoft OneDrive and even my Apple Files. I can email it to myself or someone else. It’s just seamless. I’m continually more and more impressed with this app and it’s saved me so much time and money, I cannot be more thankful for this app. Well done, devs, well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
EXCELLENT!
I have used a lot of different scanner apps. Most of them work but that’s about as much if you can say for them. They are not excellent, and in most cases are not even great. They are just simply functional. I went to the office of a notary to have a paper notarized and I just made an offhand comment that I was headed for a copy shop to have the documents scanned and turned into a PDF file. He answered back that he was able to do that for me. I was shocked to see him whip out his phone and snap a picture of it. I expect the results to be as bad as all of the other ones that I have used in the past and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It corrects for Keystone distortion, and it removes trace background edges around the page. Actually work better when placed on a darker background so there’s more distinction between the edge of the page and the background itself. I would like to extend a high-five to the developer of this app. You have really done and astonishingly good job. Congratulations.
The Online Student’s Savior
i’ve been in online school since the beginning of the pandemic, and this app is a lifesaver. it doesn’t limit how many documents you scan like other apps, and its automatic scanning trick is pretty okay. just don’t but the paper on a light colored surface, or have too many other objects in the frame. my favorite part is the ability to directly upload from my phone to the desktop of my computer (since they’re linked by icloud). if that’s not your speed, you can airdrop it to your downloads folder. the back and white filter is just as good as a printer scan, and there’s an option to edit the document after you take the photo. I never needed any other part of the app, so i didn’t need premium, which is amazing. it also uploads as a pdf, which saves me all the trouble of converting it myself. compared to other scan apps, i found this one to be the most efficient, since it works well and doesn’t have any frustrating limits for free users.
