Wi-Fi-supported ScanSnap
*The ScanSnap Go feature is available only on iX2500.
The latest update of this app is far superior to the previous version. The portable iX100 scanner does a great job of producing high quality images quickly. But the previous app often had difficulty connecting with the scanner. That has been resolved with this version.Tip: If you normally use a VPN on your device, it has to be turned off before connecting to the ScanSnap.

This App is Really Really Close
Colo Jack
I’ve been using ScanSnap products for more than 10 years and they have always be the best out there, but always also missing something for my use cases. This is no different. The utility of being able to scan something without needing to have the computer awake and ready to receive it is awesome. The utility of being able to push documents directly to the cloud is awesome. The challenge has always been with what those documents get named. Pushing the GoogleDrive or Dropbox button on the printer is awesome, but the file just gets a generic name and date. But by leveraging the iOS app, you can now name the files as you scan them. Incredible!!! But…there is a huge but… you can’t name the files in the app as your scan them if they are going to the cloud. You have to manually scan and then “share” the file with google drive and remember to manually change the name of the file. It works, but could work so much better. So, I recently stopped using Google Drive and instead have been using the scan to iPhone feature, but this also misses the mark because you can’t customize what folder on your iPhone you want to save to. So the ScanSnap app creates a “ScanSnap Home” folder on your iPhone, but you can switch it to a folder in your iCloud, or have both. Please fix this both of these issues. When you do, your printer and app solution will finally be all that it can be!

I had one brief connection then nothing after multiples attempts to search for my scanner. SnapScan Home says the scanner is connected by Wi-Fi but my phone and iPad will not connect. I have to say this reminds me of life back when networking issues could eat up days of your life. I lost one more today. If you’re buying this brand of scanner due to mobile connectivity features, you may be sorely disappointed. I am running this scanner in a tech heavy graphics studio. We have no other connectivity problems and we’re running a lot of software. Please keep your beta ware on the shelf until it’s ready.
