This app uses a monetization first business model, which has unfortunately made it reliably useless when I actually need it. Making it doubly annoying, swiftscan uses scammy casino style agressive nagware splash screens to try to convert you to a paying customer, so 1) the app breaks, 2) you have to wade through ad after ad in rapid succession to get the ap started again, 3) you have to MANUALLY enter in your icloud credentials despite being logged in already to regain access, and 4) 3 doesn’t work. This has happened to me 100% of the time I have been in a conference with limited connectivity. Imagine you have 10 seconds to snap a photo and scan someone’s business card and you are instead fighting through nagware in an app that YOU ALREADY PURCHASED. The features of this app used to be great, but their agressive monetization to the exclusion of usability is disqualifying. This company holds its customers in contempt. Look elsewhere.

**update-they changed the name from scanpro and have now gone to subscription payment. It used to be 10-20 bucks and you were done now they want 3 dollars a month. My glowing review is going to change if they don’t grandfather in all of us who purchased pro. I hate subscriptions. Charge me a one time price for your software, one that is fair to you the developer-I don’t expect it to be cheap, but please stay away from these monthly subscriptions. Easily keep all receipts together from travel and organize in iCloud. Easily make copies of all important documents and organize in iCloud folder. Use your phone to scan and immediately access it from your mac or iPad. Fantastic app. One of my favorites. A must have. Business travel tip: on a business trip FORCE yourself to scan every receipt the second you get it, whether at hotel checkout, restaurant, airport, gas station, everything you spend. It takes two seconds to do this. Just make it part of your routine —sign the check at dinner, pull out your phone and scan. Two seconds. Set up the scans to be named with the date automatically and you can add additional words at time of scan or later. If you do this, it makes doing expense reports or invoicing an absolute breeze. Everything is in a folder on your icloud, accessible from your mac or anywhere. I use to dread gathering receipts and doing expense reports. Not anymore. This app makes it easy.

There are a large number of scanners in the App Store, but all of us are usually looking for a faster, better and more elegant solution. Scanbot is a well-designed replacement for your current scanner app. With a gorgeous, clean and simple interface that runs through every screen, Scanbot offers a fast edge-detection, auto-tune scanning experience with a few extra editing options such as one-touch enhancer and powerful cropping tool.It automatically converts the scanned document into PDF and, if enabled, uploads a copy of the file to the cloud. You can also save it as a picture to the camera roll or send the generated PDF as an attachment to your email. Although an option is provided to export the page to the Photos app right after snapping a document, there’s no way to extract an already scanned file as JPEG.Compared to the most popular app in this category, Scanbot is much quicker and the legibility of scanned documents is better in certain lighting conditions. However, while its uncluttered interface helps you capture and organize your files with ease and prompts you with tips on how to take better scans, it lacks some professional features such as brightness and contrast controls, a perspective or skew tool to straighten scans, or an option to organize your documents into folders.

Thank you for making a really nice app. Mainly, I am looking for a scan/ocr app to easily apply ocr to existing documents on iOS. SwiftScan does it and does it very well: powerful ocr compared to my experience with scanner pro and scan hero. I love the in-app text search after ocr.I wish for a more robust import feature, where I can easily import in SwiftScan from all three sources (camera scan capture, existing photos, existing documents) into one file, like PDFpen scan+ by Smile did very well before they discontinued ocr. Compiling scans from different sources into one file is currently a pain.For your R&D reference, the first step in my workflow is compiling the scan from different sources like hand-written notes, photos and existing docs (add, remove, reorder pages and make light edit). Then ocr my compilation, export the file, create a hyper-link to the file, reference that link on calendar, continue to work and add to the file at a later time from again the same three sources of camera, photos and documents. It will be so nice if I can make SwiftScan my one and only stop in compiling my scans/notes. I appreciate any insights and tips.

I'm officially in love! I held off reviewing this app (I ponied up for the pro version) because there are a few things I wished it did that it doesn't -- like combine pages that were previously scanned separately into one document. Also the auto scan feature never works for receipts, and when it tries to determine the contours of a regular document, it either cuts off the margins or zooms in on a box within the page. And I don't know how to override this so I can just scan and frame the page manually, so it's a race against time to take a scan before it takes it for me. Useless. HOWEVER, there are lots of things it does well, such as creating crisp, clear scans that are easy to crop (when it lets me do it manually); auto uploads to the cloud, and especially searching documents with the OCR feature. I scan all my receipts, so now when I need to find a UPC to return something, the search function finds it quickly and flawlessly. This alone prompted my review. ( I figured it wouldn't work but I was pleasantly surprised.) It would be great if you could drag and drop documents into multi-page docs or just group them near each other or in folders. But I'm happy with what it does so far. Fix those features and I'll add another star!

The developer contacted me and clarified that they had not intentionally taken any features from my original version and there must have been a bug or glitch in the program. I do have all of my features back and am a satisfied customer.PREVIOUS UPDATE:I had complained that features I had paid for had been moved to the subscription version only. I started using the new Notes app instead. I noticed that many many others were complaining of the same thing. We were talking tonight about feeling ripped off and I went into the app to show friends the issues we had…. I was surprised to find that all of my previous features are BACK! It appears at least for now that the authors have reconsidered and realized that they shot themselves in the foot. My review has now gone back to the opinion that this is the best scanning app I have used for my phone. If the authors come up with some cool new features, I will probably be willing to pay (once - not a $10 subscription) to upgrade. Thank you writers of the app for rethinking the business model. You have a happy customer back.
