Scan to PDF: Converter Scanner Reviews

by Scam Spammed

ScantoPDF was helpful when I needed a few scans, but I quickly learned that there was an artificial limit to the number of scans I could make. I had to do a lot of paperwork that day, so I decided to upgrade to Pro for $4. It’s a chunk of change, but it was better than going to kinkos. I was happy with my decision, until my card was charged a month later for $4 more! $48 per year for ScantoPDF seems steep and unrealistic. I would have been happy to pay it once (or even something a little higher as a ONE TIME fee), but I could not believe they expected me to “subscribe.” What kinds of things do I subscribe to? Not many. Music, because I use it every day. A car payment, because I need a car. A scanner? No way.

Taking the picture of the document is much harder now than it used to be, I much prefer the older version but I’m sure I could get used to the new version. I use ScantoPDF for work so I can’t have It being finicky all the time. ever since I’ve had ScantoPDF , 1yr + it constantly tells me that I’ve reached my 3 page limit even though I’ve bought ScantoPDF and I pay for it monthly. Sometimes it just straight up freezes. ScantoPDF has just become a hassle to deal with, I will likely look for another scanner app if I find that this new version hasn’t fixed those issues.

Started off great but now tells me I’m at my limit for every document I try and scan, it’s my first scan in a week and it says my 24 limit has been used. Rushing to finish a paper quickly I just upgraded to pro, because I needed to submit my papers, I emailed them explaining what happened and asking for my money back because I hadn’t used ScantoPDF in a week, I got no response and they kept my money. It’s been over a month and a half now. This is very frustrating, poor communication skills on their part. Sad, cuz ScantoPDF is great when it works.

I hate that all these scanners think it’s alright to make it a subscription service to use basic functions of ScantoPDF . What am I even subscribing for? It’s not like they’re providing new content every week. I don’t get how these things get 5 stars. It doesn’t even tell you you’re limited to 3 scans per day until after you’ve scanned several items and try to export it.

I love this scanner. I mean it was a life saver. Literally, but also to me, it’s a total rip off... okay so here’s the thing: only the first scan is free and the limit on the first scan to be free, would be to scan three pages. That’s kind of ridiculous, plus there are a lot of restrictions as to where you can send your first three scanned pdf “free” pages. So in my experience, I had to send a 10 page PDF, and decided wow I love ScantoPDF alot so I'm just going to buy it! Heres the catch though -_- the full app purchase is a monthly subscription!! Not an actually app purchase and its practically $4 every month. Meh, to me thats not worth it. I’m a college student so I’m pretty broke. So having an app subscription for scanning docs isn't really worth it in my situation. So, I’ll keep ScantoPDF for the month but I'm definitely deleting it and ending my subscription by the end of this month, it’s a bummer. I honestly really loved the quality and ease of ScantoPDF. But it’s wayy too much $$ for a broke college student to lose from their bank account every month. And when you think about it thats nearly $40 a year to spend for a phone scanner— just no, not worth it. However, I would come back to ScantoPDF if it is a last resort and I'm not pressed for time. Then I’ll just have to throw away $4 again.

In general, this application is not bad, it can be very useful when not buggy. Unfortunately, in my experience it was buggy all the time. Each time I needed to change the boundaries of the file, or (every other time) load the file, the application closed and did not respond. The idea itself is very cool and I was glad to find such an application, and I honestly paid for two to three months (at least) ...
closing my eyes on the program crashes, I learned to use it with great care, but when the finished file had to be sent by email or to be saved to the cloud (google drive), the program promisingly reported that everything was done, but in reality no files were found anywhere. Big S- sadness.

I purchased ScantoPDF to “scan” permission slips for my Brownie Troop after they had been filled out; there are 19 girls so 19 pages of scanning. After 6 pages ScantoPDF would crash. Support was very fast to respond and escalated to technical dept., but there isn’t a fix. It will only work for less than 6 pages. ScantoPDF was easy to use and I’m sure fine for small needs. Leaving feedback so users can be aware of the limitation and not waste their $3.99 like I did.

I’ve been using ScantoPDF for several years and it’s worked well for my personal use. I don’t use ScantoPDF often enough to justify a monthly subscription, so I will be deleting it. I would, however, be willing to pay for occasional upgrades if, in the future, this company decides to offer an upgrade that doesn’t involve a subscription.

The camera quality isn’t that great compared to other apps I’ve tried, and ScantoPDF crashed on me several times while I was scanning my documents. Not sure if this is a problem with ScantoPDF , but I wasn’t able to upload my files to Google Drive either because Google was suspicious of ScantoPDF and blocked sign in.

I have paid for the subscription for the last few months, and every few months another export option becomes unavailable. The button to email it to myself stopped working, other buttons also stopped working until I was only able to export to my Google drive account. It was such a hassle.

The scanner itself worked good, and it was easily able to alter the photos so it was black and white, or color document, or whatever it need to be. But without a good document export option I grew tired of it.

I scanned a five page document, and it did not let me email it. The email option only works for 3 pages, or you need to pay for it. I wish it would allow at least 5 pages to be shared at once.
Otherwise, user friendly and definitely easy to use.

When ScantoPDF is working, it’s great. I pay the monthly fee because I scan a lot for work. Countless times I have come onto ScantoPDF and it’s advertising to me to buy the subscription. I. Have. It. It then won’t let me scan to Google Drive, as this is a “pro” feature. Which I pay for. Yet I cannot access it because ScantoPDF doesn’t recognize that I paid for it. I have the receipt in my email and everything.

Should have an option for the whole screen should to be selected when you scan a document rather than just auto and manual. Otherwise it is very good and I am paying for the subscription!

ScantoPDF is intuitive and produces documents in excellent quality. I highly recommend.

So far, ScantoPDF has been easy to use. I downloaded it after another scanner app I downloaded was giving me fits! Hopefully, this one will be an improvement.

by Raheelqazi

Great app. Simple to use. Highly recommended.
I needed to scan a bunch of papers, went through ScantoPDF store, found a few but they all wanted money after a 3 day trial. Hmm.
Then found this awesome app and within minutes my job was done, email sent with PDF files. Great.

It’s just disgusting that it asks you 4bucks monthly subscription when you download it for emergency one time use. Used to have a free version on my pad. Now I even prefer paid App since they don’t scam ya subscription.

I can’t add to my drive because google tells me ScantoPDF doesn’t have permission. There’s also a glitch with the camera where it gets stuck on “hold still” until you cancel the scan and retry.

I just downloaded it and did a sample run with the business card. Was amazed at how quick and easy it was without having to go through tons of instructions. Looking forward to trying it with paperwork that I have to send somewhere when I have no access to a scanner or fax machine.

by Kaifers

Too many times do we download free apps and they’re difficult to use or they don’t work as intended. not so with easy scanner

I was thoroughly impressed with how easy I was able to scan documents as well as the quality.

if you need to scan a document and make it a PDF this is ScantoPDF for you!

by Christineiasso

I spent an hour scanning things that I needed for the next day and when I went to save it to my camera roll it said I could only save 3 a day! What app won’t let you save photos to your camera roll??? It makes it seem like the free version has a ton of features but when you actually go to do anything with the scans, it won’t let you! I’ve used much better scanner apps in the past. This one is not worth it at all.

LIMITS YOU TO SENDING THREE PAGES A DAY ON FREE VERSION.

It took ages to load every time I pressed any button. I tapped the email documents button repeatedly and nothing happened so I texted them first and then tried to email and there’s apparently a 3-page a day limit on sending scans.

It scanned things fine but unless you’re just trying to scan a single page, I would get a different app.

ScantoPDF works like a charm. It has everything I need from scanning documents to adding a signature and faxing...every detail well thought which makes it perfect scanner app and office assistant for me.
