Ratings and Reviews
Such a great app for scanning/ PDF conversion
Love this app. Had it for years now and it keeps getting better with updates. Does everything you need including email, text message or saving document to other apps. The magic photo feature where it focuses and takes a photo of each document with out the press of a button is priceless. It also automatically crops the picture to the size of the page instantly. Very handy for a batch of pages as you can just let the phone do the work as you take a photo of one page and flip to the next and before you know it you have scanned 20 pages. Also handy editing features after you’ve taken the picture so you can filter the pictures to get the clearest view and the pages, recrop if needed or even rotate to what ever required direction. Best app!! Will never use a scanner again. Also has a print function 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Just Works (now v2, 1 yr later)
Still amazing. Not only are the features vy good (elegant OCR, easy tags, gd optimising of images) but also the organisational structure vy good (easy of uploading to gDrive, documenting of progress eg when last uploaded, ease of managing and moving stored scans). There are many competitors and there will always be one or two things they do even better, but none seem to maintain the elegance and self-evident human interface and workflow design that makes this excellent — for me, an overall winner. [Pls dont tell them, it will go to theirs heads…]
|| (orig. comment, in case v1 review gets deleted)
Works for me... simple, straight -forward, elegant interface (except for the 'Current...' phrasing during saving, which isn't clear). Very happy with it. Barns from oz || PS and the OCR is vy good, use it a lot.
SIMPLY BRILLIANT for scanning
I use this app for taking photos of documents and combining them to create multi-page PDFs. It’s features are flawless and brilliant. It allows you to use your camera to scan a physical document by framing the border of the page and producing it as a rectangular image without a background. This single feature is done better than any other app I’ve seen and I’ve tried a few.
There are also options to improve the image with auto-enhance or making it black & white, colour or photo. You can then combine multiple scans into one PDF document. You can export the PDF to other apps, email, messages, files or keep it saved in the app for later. You can also export images as jpegs to your photo roll.
Simply brilliant app functionality! Thank you!
