Do you like FineReader PDF? Please leave a review!
I got this app some time ago, but hadn't used it for a while, thinking I would at some point use it again.Well, I can tell you for sure, this app just works as it's intended, and is simple and straightforward to use.Do some of the features cost a bit? Yeah. However, they are QUITE useful.If you are like me and have a BUNCH of things to get digitized, use this app. You won't be disappointed.Update - 2 Nov 2016I bought a new iPhone 7 Plus a couple of days ago, and with the dual 12 MP cameras, this app is even more invaluable.Update - 16 Jul 2018I’ve used this for a number of years now, and it’s still my go-to scanner / digitizer.As of this review update, I’ve scanned / digitized 603 items that I can find.The prices for each feature weren’t terribly expensive.Simply put, this is THE best iOS scanner I’ve used.However, I’ve switched my rating from five to four stars because there needs to be a better way to digitize larger items (like poster size), and I feel the quality of the images captured could be improved. Everything else is spot-on.

This latest version is a dumbed down piece of junk, slipped together with its only intent to make you PAY for the earlier ease of use I came to applaud. Stay away. Do NOT upgrade to this version. A slap in the face to us by crass consumerism, this only leads me to believe the company was purchased by someone else who saw an opportunity to stick their grubby hands in our wallets.*********. UPDATE *********. April 30, 2019There has been a greatly improved release that, so far, eclipses the earlier release and shows great promise of flexibility for the user. Kudos to the developer and team for an app worthy of my Top Ten Best.

Expensive for the lack of efficiency

If all you’re looking for is the ability to occasionally scan a PDF/file/image to attach to an email, this works great. However, if you’re using it everyday for something like scanning receipts, there are too many steps to go through for each receipt. Each receipt requires that you scan, crop, name, upload for OCR (which asks to choose the language every time, then wait while the document uploads), then when the OCR is done, save it to my iCloud account (which has multiple screens to jump through to find the iCloud Drive). It’s too time consuming for me. If it was $8 a year, I might not complain, but I won’t renew my subscription unless they offer a way to make these manual steps automatic each time I scan a new receipt.

I gave this 2 instead of 1 star only because while it was really neat to see how this works, and it seems to do it as well as advertised, that’s all you get for free. This is probably a great app but I’ll never know because I never got an opportunity to properly try it before I was locked out in true bait and switch fashion. One is lead to believe that the user is limited to scanning/storing 5 pages at a time. In truth you get 5 attempts to scan and item and that’s it. I first fumbled with my phone while trying to hold a book open long enough to take a decent photo. Then by the time I figured out which type of text to convert it to, after a bit of trial-and-error, I discovered I had used up my 5 tries and felt like a total sucker. You can play then you have to pay. So enjoy those 5 minutes.
