1. 5/5Bad News — HORRIBLE App

   Since you updated this app it’s been very difficult to manage. Please put it back the way it was and I will give you five stars again. But, leave it this way and I will drop it down to a -5 if I could. It’s difficult to know where to go to scan. After I hit everything a pull down menu shows up with scan at the very, very bottom. It’s a SCANNER to scan something should be placed at the top of the app not at the bottom of a pull down menu. I don’t like this app anymore. The scan button goes round and round about ten times before it clicks. I finally found the scan button but this whole app needs to be put back the way it was eight months or so ago before the update. It wasn’t broken — now it is — FIX IT, please!!

2. 1/5Like being relentlessly bombarded by ads?

   I couldn't make a single move with this app without being dragged to the App Store and having some random app thrown in my face. I've never had to fight through so much crap to execute a simple function before. You hold it above a document and once it's got it in focus, it automatically takes the picture and cues itself for the next page, and this function seemed to work very well, actually. Then, I selected three of the six pages (the limit of the free version of the app) of the document to email to myself. What arrived was the first page, followed by some blankness which it called "pages 2 and 3". So, the violent onslaught of ads, combined with its failure to include the three scanned pages that it claimed it would send in the email attachment earns it zero stars! I will admit that it was good at the scanning part. Maybe everything functions properly when you buy the full version, but the free version doesn't even do what it claims it will do, and that makes me sad.

3. 1/5Charged $43 for free trial that I cancelled BEFORE free trial ended.

   I am very disappointed with the developers of this app. I temporarily needed this app to scan some paperwork for school, so upon opening the apps, after it gave subscription options, I chose the 3-day FREE trial. After I scanned the documents that I needed to scan, I promptly went into my App Store profile and went ahead and cancelled my subscription to be sure I didn’t get charged once the free-trial ended. All was well. A couple of hours later, I checked my bank account and noticed that my there was an apple store transaction for $43... mind you that it was a 3-day FREE trial and I was charged for a 1-year subscription to the app within hours. I never authorized this purchase and never provided and password, fingerprint or anything to verify or authorize the purchase. Overall, the app itself is fine, but because of this “scam” I would not suggest this app to anyone, nor will I ever purchase it again. I am not one to write reviews, but I am very upset and disappointed with this situation.

4. 5/5Happy user

   The app worked perfectly for an important document I was taking care of for my husband. Easy interface and capable of many mailing options including printing. I had 9 pages to scan, our printer wasn’t scanning so this was a great substitute. It only took a few minutes to do scan and send. As for subscriptions: READ people! Take responsibility for your decision- you really think this type of app is free to develop and keep up to date. I’m not a geek but I’m aware that I need to read about what they offer and their terms and all the information was there about the free use for 3 days and I had 3 days to cancel, and they were great about telling me where I needed to go to cancel. It was right up front.

5. 5/5Fabulous App - I highly recommend it!

   I have had this program app for a few years and I love it. I can scan from my iPhone and immediately send through email, or other sharing methods without anyone ever knowing I did it from my phone. It’s has saved me countless hours of driving to a store or running home to my desktop scanner. 1) Scanning: A) After scanning a document I can change the heading of the document to whatever label I choose instead of the default date and time stamp provided. B) I can add multiple pages to create a package to send as though I did it with a desk top feeder. C) I can adjust scans after scanning to fix any issues outside of the margins. D) have a small receipt? No problem, it scans those as well. Paper Free - Digital Organization: 2) I am now paper free due to this app. I was tired of having to house multiple files and receipts. With this app, I can now organize all of my receipts and important documents in separate folders that I create and label myself. Completing my taxes has never been easier now that I have “go to” folders to review with ease. 3) It stores everything on the cloud or other back up if desired. Note: One thing I would like to change if I could is the ability to hold my finger down on any document within a folder and move the document around within the folder to my desired location. This would help immensely when organizing items within specific folders. Final recommendation: The free trial will give you a snapshot, but some things may be limited in use. I highly recommend downloading this app and learn how to navigate through it. I feel it is worth the money. I renew yearly. You won’t regret it.
