iScanner: PDF Scanner App 4+

100% recommend!

When I first downloaded this app I thought I would use it once or twice and then delete it, but it has now been on my phone for like 7 or 8 years…maybe longer…
It makes clear documents even with my scratched phone camera, is super easy to use, and allows me to upload documents straight to other apps like email and even to specific assignments on Canvas.
I have used the free version for two school programs, work, and most recently the home-buying process and I’m starting to feel like I should just pay to get the premium version because I have gotten so much use out of this thing for free.
Even the free version lets you edit documents without harassing you for money, and somehow they have made it so I can write my actual signature with my fat finger on my tiny phone screen.
Full disclosure, I use this app on average a couple times a month, so there could be glitches that daily users see that I haven’t encountered.

Glitches

I've had this app for a few years, the free version that is. It has worked great aside from the ridiculous amount of advertisements up until now. Lately it won't pull up all my pictures, sometimes I'll upload pictures and delete them and they'll be deleted in the app and then I'll go to email it and sure enough the pictures I deleted in the app are on the emailed pdf but if you look in the app it will not show that it is there, then other times it will duplicate some pages in the pdf in its own, to correct it I'll re download it and delete what I need deleted and email it again and it will still be there. The most recent issue I had is that I uploaded pictures from my camera roll and I went in order when I downloaded them; I started at page 1 and went to page 30. When I was done I was scrolling through the pages in my app to make sure I got everything and all the pages were mixed like it would go in the following sequence 3,8,5,1,10,2,30,15etc... when u tried to fix it and move it to the correct spots it would automatically rearrange everything and not move certain pages. Like I said this was the best and easiest scanner app I have used but now I am thinking because I've had it for so long there are now "glitches" messing everything up trying to prompt me to upgrade maybe or maybe the app has just gone down hill; I'm not really sure.

Great App So Far

For a smartphone app that scans, I’m thrilled. I scanned an assignment straight from my phone to my email and submitted it with no problems. You can change the contrast as well as other color and white balance settings. You can also send as a JPG, which is helpful as that is a very versatile file format. I just needed the PDF. If you are on the go, this app will be great! Of course, it takes a minute to get everything situated with what you scan (ex. You may have to align the blue dots over the edges, as it doesn’t always line up exactly with the page). However, that is minor and is actually helpful on account of using a camera instead of a dedicated scanning mechanism.

With that being said, if you need a high quality scan that has a high dpi, for sure use a regular copier, as this scanner entirely will rely on your phones camera sensor. In any case, great app and I thank God for it!
