Scanner Pro・Scan PDF Documents

I have been using this app for … 11 years and was extremely happy with it. The feature I loved was ability to create workflows and make them rename my scans and upload to online storage. First the renaming feature stopped working and instead produced an error and now my carefully created numerous workflows entirely disappeared from the app. I recreated a new workflow to test if renaming works but no it still did not. No way to recover lost workflows either. No settings backup function. As if this wasn’t enough the newly created workflow mysteriously disappeared from the app the following day. What a … mess this app has become!!! Rolling down the hill quickly after stellar 11 years…. If it ain’t broken don’t fix it rule did not gain much traction with the developer. As of today I can’t really recommend this app. Too bad… in fact if you are looking for an app that does more than just basic scanning (that iOS notes does already) look elsewhere. This is no longer an app I can rely on. ———— Update: new version fixed the scan renaming failure and test workflow works now and was not automatically deleted the following day. The old workflows are still gone and no settings backup function exists. Step in right direction though - more work ahead.

Like many people, I don’t write reviews much. But I really do enjoy this app. I use it to help me with my homework, as in this digital age, teachers will give you a paper assignment but then you will have to scan it to Google Classroom. It is so much better to use this than to take a picture, as it crops to only your homework and it will find the edges really nicely. In case you wrote some annotations of a document really close to the edge of the paper, no worries! You can manually adjust the cropping. I also love that it corrects for slanted angles, meaning don’t have to retake the photo over and over again because my hand wasn’t straight, it is also another reason why this app is better than just taking a photo. It also saves it into a separate folder in my files, meaning I can access it anywhere anytime, and it’s not just cluttered with all my other files. I use it pretty much every day for my homework, and while a lot of people use it for receipts and other stuff, there are countless uses for this scanner app. I highly recommend it and I feel like anyone could find a good use for it! Give it a try! Thank you to the developers for also making this app really easy to use and keeping things simple. It’s very hard to find apps like that nowadays, everything has to have bells and whistles and flashing lights and it’s so annoying. Thank you for not being like that!

Readdle Scanner Pro— Good news: Still a great scanning app! Bad news: As the app is updated each year, a few more controls are added, that aren’t immediately noticeable. What happens is that suddenly it appears that the updated app doesn’t work as well as it once did. Well, it does work as well, but you have to closely examine it for new settings, then adjust them for how and what YOU are scanning. In other words, Readdle Scanner Pro now allows more granular settings. Some new controls are hard to spot. I wish Readdle would have a “simplified setting for dummies”, so it could work like it once did. It took an in-app complaint from me (that was answered within 24-hours) for me to learn about the new controls. Then I had to play with Scanner Pro for a few days, to use it as I once did, so it was again quick and easy for my daily needs. So I am rating it as 5-Stars again. I love the app, I use it every day, but I love it slightly less than before, because I had to relearn and practice with it. It’s still the best scanner app I’ve found, but the gap between it and others is narrowing. Please add a single “Preset for Dummies” for those of us who don’t need so many granular settings. Or add an obvious link to a simple graphical users guide, showing what settings are where, now. Don’t discourage us. We just want to make a good scan, quickly. We don’t want to relearn how to use the app. Thanks.
