1. 5/5Goodbye scanners and fax machines

   Love this app. Use it a few times a week to "scan" my documents, receipts, book excerpts - whatever I want to keep as a digital file. Then I "share" to my Google Drive to store in the cloud, "share" to iBooks or GoodReader to have on my phone, "share" to CudaSign if I need to sign it first, and/or "send" as an email attachment, and I love that I can do all of the above. It would be nice to be able to select all the options you want to do from one screen, rather than go back and select a new option each time. It does sometimes (rarely) crash, but I have never lost any images. I like that it keeps copies of prior scans in case I need to go back. The cropping is pretty good, especially if you put a dark background behind what you are scanning. I like the "enhance" feature to optimize the printed text, and the ability to toggle easily between the enhanced version and the original. The quick toggle between PDF and image is also great. One minor annoyance is that, for some reason, the app will occasionally show the tutorial even when I haven't updated it and have been using it for months. All in all, a must-have app for me. I used to carry around docs, waiting for a time I was near a scanner or fax. Now, combined with cloud storage, a signing app like CudaSign, and email, it has allowed me to recycle paperwork immediately and free myself from clutter, scanners, and fax machines. Why do companies even use fax machines anymore?

2. 5/5A true time saver for scanning things on the go!

   This app has truly been a blessing, as I own and operate an IT managed services/consulting business, and am often visiting clients or managing projects onsite. Unlike the plethora of other PDF-generating scan apps out there, this one creates the cleanest and clearest images, especially if the document or photo has folds or other imperfections. I also find the ability to easily switch output format between PDF and Image file type to be extremely convenient. Last but certainly not least, once I have all my scans ready to go, I usually need to email or text them to someone quickly. This app seamlessly flows into the Apple’s native Mail app, invokes a new message, and automatically attaches the file(s). I work with many different applications and software, especially mobile versions, so if you are a “road warrior” like myself, I strongly recommend this app. Time is money, and Scannable has saved me quite a lot of both! Thank you to the developers, and please keep up the great work!

3. 2/5Used to be great

   I’ve been using this app for years and loved it! My job requires mini PDFs to be sent via email on a daily basis. I always got compliments about how my PDFs were always clear and easy for people to download without issues. A couple months ago the app all of a sudden started telling me that I had to have professional, as if there was no longer a free version. Since I use the app all the time I went ahead and bought the yearly subscription that’s when everything went south. Prior to adding the subscription. It was so easy to use, every time I opened my app. It was ready to scan, and I could easily email those documents and once I closed my app they would automatically be saved in recents. Now that I upgraded it wants me to get an Evernote account, the app has all of my scans still showing when I open the app so I can’t just easily scan and send because it will send all the past docs unles I save them to Evernote. It’s a big pain and such a waste because o loved it prior. I’m usually in my car having to scan something quickly and send. I don’t have time to go through and make folders and save documents to outside sources every time. I hate everything about this so called paid version and wish I could just go back to the free one that was so much more efficient for my needs.

4. 4/5Great product, but still some problems

   I honestly like this scanning app a lot; the scans are super fast, the auto detected borders are fairly accurate, and the end product is a great balance between quality and file size. That said, there are some problems I’d like to see fixed. I use this app predominantly for scanning books for research, but the app gets overwhelmed and is liable to crash the larger the file size gets. I’ve lost so many scanned books this way. It also stops being able to detect borders as the scanning continues. A simple fix could be to automatically save after a certain number of pages and start a new file. Also, having an adjustable colored border option would remove the need to auto detect borders every time a page is turned; the user would just need to fit the text within the confines of border (as a bonus, it would cut out any background - including fingers - that would fall within that frame). I’d like to see more options for adjusting size and quality as well. All that aside, Scannable is still one of the best scanning apps I’ve found so far, and having these few added improvements (even as a paid add-on) would make it ideal.

5. 1/5User for years but I’m done. This is insane.

   I’ve used Scannable for a decade and recommended it to tons of people. I went to scan a document tonight that LITERALLY IS THE ONLY PIECE LEFT TO RESTORE MY HUSBAND’S MEDICALLY-SUSPENDED LICENSE … and there’s a paywall. Ridiculous, but free if you sign up for Evernote. Ridiculous to hold people hostage and force them into your main-offering app like that, but whatever. I don’t like Evernote but figured I’d sign up for a free account and unsubscribe from the emails. NOPE. I spent 10 minutes scanning these pages because the scanner kept glitching and went to save them … nope, I keep getting an error message. I signed out and tried again. Error. I redownloaded Evernote as prompted. Error. Tried to save as images. Error. My only option is to now sign up for a weekly subscription for $2.99. Bye, Scannable. You saw me through high school, college, starting my own business, a messy divorce, helping manage my husband’s multiple cancer diagnoses, and many other document-heavy milestones. But I’m done with you. You’ve changed and not for the better. It’s not me, it’s you. *other angry breakup lines* Okay and side note - as a marketer, what an insanely poor move to create a frustrating user experience with ZERO value given before asking for action. Get a better UI and UX team.
