Time saver!!

Whilst working from home during the Corona virus lockdown, I have been working with a secure network laptop computer where I could not connect to a printer. This resulted in having to forward emails to my private email address, printing off attachments and then making comments on the paperwork, then placing back in to the scanner/printer and sending to my private email before forwarding on to my work email address and then onward transmission. This all took time (Not sure I’m complying with work’s IT security protocols, but needs must!) I was informed about this App and it has speeded up the procedure and produced excellent results. It took a couple of hours to work out how to make perfect copies, so an idiots guide would be helpful, but the App is great. Not sure if I need the upgrade + version, but will see. To sum up and stop waffling, great App that produces great reproductions. A++

Couldn’t ask for more as a simple scanner to store documents. So far this App has been free as well. I wanted to scan music to store in my iPad and it works brilliantly. The app ‘photos’ the music but it’s actually a PDF of course. It sizes the page automatically provided the background is contrasting (black for instance) and takes the photo automatically when it’s in focus. Finally it automatically removes the grey to create black/white contrast and allows me to capture several pages in one file straight away. I can even title the scans immediately I take them. Credit where it’s due, as I rarely rate apps, but this is doing exactly what I need it to with the least amount of complexity and fuss.

Totally fantastic

When my husband got ill with what may or may not have been The Thing, I couldn’t access the scanner he’d been using without donning full hazmat. So I looked for an app. So many were allegedly free but then wanted to charge a high monthly payment to let you do anything at all with the scan, including sending it anywhere - even to your self. This app is fantastically easy to use and for me the free version does everything I need it to. And if it didn’t, then the upgrade is a one-off low fee. Total lifesavers - actually easier than using the scanner and I might just upgrade anyway if only to thank them for their brilliance and generosity.

Excellent App, Finest Quality!

Ever since I started using the app many years ago, I’ve never gone to search for something better, you know, like you download a promising calculator only to find it’s useless, full of problems, plagued by incessant ads or just has no value. Well, this app is perfectly adequate in all respects, I’ve recommended it to many other users, who also think it’s great, and have not needed to find alternate scanners. It just does the job wonderfully. Even after updating the app over the years it hasn’t become a POS like Skype, Viber, Text-Free and many other apps that will lose traction. Keep up the good work guys, without the bloat of other junky apps - I am impressed!

IMPROVEMENTS - The Photo Picker now supports iCloud Shared Albums, making it easier to import documents from all your photo collections. - We refined several areas of the user interface, including improved accessibility support when using larger font sizes. FIXES - The Crop button has been restored in the Photo Picker. Its removal previously caused some imported photos to be cropped automatically, even when it shouldn’t have been the case. With this update, you once again have precise control over how your photos are imported into Genius Scan. - Fixed a crash that could occur during FTP uploads when the data stream failed to initialize.
