JotNot Scanner App Pro Reviews

by Tattyplatypus

I use JotNotScannerAppPro almost daily for everything from scanning letter size documents to scanning my VIN number for my car. Excellent functionality and the only downside that I've found us that it is unable to scan multiple pages as one PDF. I do find the different formats you can save or e-mail documents as a nice touch. Definitely a must-have for a road warrior or someone self employed like myself. As a freelance hotel revenue manager I can honestly say that JotNotScannerAppPro makes my life a whole lot easier and keeps me organized. Buy this if you want to increase your efficiency and get organized. Between Jot-Not and Awesome Note, I never miss an invoice or lose any notes.

Perfect! Simple. Now that I'm using it more, I find uses for it present themselves I would not have expected before. School calenders and lunch menus for the kids, memos of all kinds at work as well as being able to instantly e-mail flip chart meeting notes to principal participants...teachers who have seen me use it have since begun using it to snap shot lessons and notes on whiteboards for posting to class websites...

Your use of this product is limited only to your imagination and amount of print material you would like to share electronically. I love the feature allowing you to process different media in different modes to optimize resolution, exposure and contrast.

Thank you for such a functional product...I will definitely be looking for any new products you guys come out with!

** May 2017 Update: STILL my favorite scanner. I've tried others. JotNot's GUI still looks a little old-fashioned, but it works great. End Update**

So much more convenient than a scanner. I often use it to attach paper info to our electronic docs at work. (Sometimes I’ll send a JotNot doc to SignNow for my digital signature.) So useful that I've gifted JotNotScannerAppPro to others. And I use it as a demo when showing off my iPhone.

I've seen reviews which question the need for JotNotScannerAppPro when you can “just take a snapshot of a document with your camera app”. To which I think: Sure…and you can scribble your business plans on napkins, too. That will work, right up until you want to bring someone else into your project. In business, you're judged by your presentation just as you are by your clothes. Your credibility is on the line.

I frequently share these scanned docs, so I want them to look good. Automatic squaring of corners, autosensing of borders, autocropping — these make your snapshots look like real documents.

But the best feature is the automatic variable contrast across the whole image. That's what changes a “photo of a paper” into something that looks like a paper. Something that can be printed on a laser printer and look great. Something easy to read, with black text on a white background, from edge to edge.

JotNot Pro is brilliant. And indispensable.

This was recommended by a friend. I just used it to do a job I usually would do on a scanner. The grid lines one may grab and fit to the borders of the object eliminate the need to have the original from a book perfectly aligned on the scanner. My results would be even better if I had gone into the Settings earlier and elected to save a medium or larger file.
I most often use this to scan and save little items easily lost, like business cards. It is helpful to be able to send saved files in different formats. I have saved multi-page documents. It works well if I do everything in the proper order.

I was introduced to JotNotScannerAppPro by a fellow classmate in graduate school who used it to send a professor something that was due the next morning by 7:00 a.m. The only problem was that she was actually 5 hours away. The documented were sent in seconds -- and has been revised, darkened, and rotated!!!

I've been using JotNotScannerAppPro since the next day when I downloaded it myself. That was approximately 5 years ago!! Great app for sending documents and editing them too. Format changes --- no problem. Get this one if you need to send copies of anything fast.

Coupled with ForScore app it’s like hand in glove. Scanning with my IPad Pro , cropping, saving , it comes out better looking than the original many times. I do music mostly but even doing text even works well. Keep in mind: for straighter looking scans I prop up the IPad on a Music stand and work hard at keeping the 4 axes level ( top - bottom, Right - left of the IPad level ). JotNot seamlessly imports the pdf into ForScore in 2 steps. I love that you can scan multiple pages of the same score and it will assign page numbers to each page... I love JotNot !

i just want to say as a customer who has used JotNotScannerAppPro for 4+ YEARS that it was a one-stop-solution to my occasional send to fax machine needs. i have used it probably >100 times for important business-related faxes & never had a problem with it ever. it’s so convenient when i’m stranded with only my iphone but i need someone to receive a traditional fax in the office. i know it costs money to send to a landline but it’s totally worth whatever they charge. because it will get there. period. and it even generates a cover sheet. people have no idea that i’m sending “scans” that are really just pics from my phone.

it’s been 4-5 years since i started using JotNotScannerAppPro so there might be better, newer, maybe even free ways to send faxes now. but if you want the best and the most reliable, then this is your app.

I have been a user of JotNot for nearly a decade. I first downloaded JotNotScannerAppPro when my scanner/fax machine was down and I needed a substitute. JotNotScannerAppPro has been a lifesaver. It makes any office portable. I can easily fax, email, and save any document or picture from anywhere I have phone service. Converting pictures to PDF files is super convenient. The ability to save files to the cloud awesome. The editing features are easy to use.

Hands down, JotNotScannerAppPro is a "must have" for anyone who needs to send, manage, upload, or organize documents or pictures from anywhere at anytime.

It is great to keep some files password protected on iOS devices even when the device itself is unlocked. For example when you hand a friend/kid your iPad to use. I takes photos with my iPad and JotNotScannerAppPro of my PC screen which, for example, as a data file open. Then I password protect this file within JotNotScannerAppPro .
Taking a photo of a monitor screen doesn't look terribly great but it gets the job done.
Love the way you can drag from the corners to crop the image, and see a magnified corner section while you are doing it. Very cleverly done.

Scanning sheet music can be difficult because the usual size (9x12) doesn’t scan correctly with ADF’s or flatbed scanners without post scan manipulation of the pdf. JotNotScannerAppPro scans the entire image, allows you to crop easily, then with the “enhance” function turns it into a black and white pdf which when printed out looks great. It just takes seconds to complete. With a pdf booklet app I can merge pdfs to print on 11x17 paper to get a very good looking foldable part. I tested many other apps for this purpose recently but I have been using JotNotScannerAppPro for years and it is still the best.

I have a number of restaurants spread out over thousands of square miles and my managers need a reliable scanner for critical correspondence. I’ve supplied scanners for years, they all get broken or stop working or whatever. JotNotScannerAppPro is perfect for that!

Slight concern- after I bought it for everyone I learned that there are other apps that also scan business cards, saving the cards in JotNotScannerAppPro and transferring the person to contacts in my phone. I use CamCard for that and it’s spectacular. Might even be better to separate the two but I wonder if one less app would be better? Don’t know but this is an outstanding and useful app.

iPhones do have a built in free document scanner as part of the “notes” app but this is easier and more straightforward. I’ve tried the notes method but prefer this because all docs are saved in one place. Just be sure to name them after scanning for easier retrieval later.

I’d buy it again.

I started using JotNotScannerAppPro when it first came out and I believe was the only one available at the time. Cropping scans was a little time consuming but prevented me from having to run to the office copier. Over time that was corrected and it auto crops now. I decided to check out several of the newer scanner apps. Result: not much more to offer. I have thousands of scans and no need to switch. I fax from JotNotScannerAppPro often. I save batches of scans to my Google Drive periodically so I don't fill up my phone. I really am very pleased with the convenience of JotNotScannerAppPro. It is literally one of the first apps I ever purchased.

I read the paper everyday. I find interesting and useful things I like to keep. From customer stories I jotnot then email with a quick note (great sales tool to stay in your clients head) to decorating or great sounding food cooking ideas. I jotnot! Then send to and number of places they provide links to. Evernote so I can scan through my own awesome favorite cooking ideas (which I share with a few friends that also have jotnot and clip items) to box, where I keep customer files. It's a great way to send a fax when you need to as well!!! Worth five times the price (but don't raise it team jotnot!!)

I STILL FIND THIS THE BEST APP FOR NOTES. PLUS YOU CAN FAX!!

by SavageD

I love JotNotScannerAppPro! As a businessman always out of the office, JotNotScannerAppPro allows me to take scans of my work product in the fly and email directly to my clients. Now instead of waiting for me to get back to the office and sending documents my clients get them in "real time". I have had nothing but rave reviews from my clients since I started using JotNotScannerAppPro!

5 years later and this is still the best app I ever bought for business. I continue to use it on a daily basis.

Here it is 2018 and I still use JotNotScannerAppPro on a daily basis! Still essential to my daily needs after all this time. I think JotNotScannerAppPro qualifies as THE best app I have ever downloaded.

Perfect for turning printed docs to PDF very quickly. It connects to Google Drive which is perfect and seamless for my needs. The people behind the UI were obviously very thoughtful. I’m particularly happy with the flexibility when scanning my class notes or study guides for class to share with fellow classmates. Sometimes there are pictures, sometimes not, and it is great to be able to include set the scan type on the fly or to rotate pages in Edit afterwards. Over the several years I’ve used Jot Not, I have not have any problems. JotNotScannerAppPro is incredibly handy for me as a former office worker turned artist-teacher turned undergraduate and (near) future graduate student.

I can scan multiple pages. I can re-do a page if it doesn’t come out right & I don’t lose the previous pages scanned.

I can change the file name as I’m saving it. I can email the file, upload to the cloud, or several other options. It takes good quality images and automatically uses the flash if needed, without changing my camera settings.

My BF has tried other apps, and they are not as good as this one. It’s been so long since I even bothered with any other app—there’s just no point. This one does everything I need except maybe fax. But then again, that may actually be available & I’ve just not needed it.

I LOVE JotNotScannerAppPro. I have a giant heavy flat scanner and a fax machine. Haven’t used either one in over 2 years thanks to JotNotScannerAppPro. This is SO much easier to use as a scanner than traditional scanners. It’s just like taking a picture with your phone, but you can save as a jpeg or pdf, adjust brightness if you need to, and email it right off your phone.
It’s also been a lifesaver for me since we decided to go without a landline. On the rare occasions I need to fax something, I can use JotNotScannerAppPro, which also creates cover sheets, and fax a doc in seconds. That’s the only thing that costs money but it’s not much at all and truly, how often do you need to fax something anyway? The convenience factor of JotNotScannerAppPro is massive. I highly recommend it.

The scanner on my wireless printer quit working. I needed a scanner to scan bills of ladings to email to customers. My daughter suggested that I get a scanner app on my iPhone. I bought this one and it's working great for me. Using JotNotScannerAppPro I can send several pages in one attachment in QuickBooks. Before using JotNotScannerAppPro, I could only attach 2 pages from my scanner to email a customer directly from QuickBooks. Now I can scan several pages in one attachment and email customers from QuickBooks.
I highly recommend JotNotScannerAppPro to anyone who needs a scanner for work. Well worth the price I paid for JotNotScannerAppPro !
Update: still loving JotNotScannerAppPro. Well worth the money I spent for JotNotScannerAppPro . I highly recommend JotNotScannerAppPro to anyone needing to scan important papers for work or home.

I bought JotNotScannerAppPro because my home office scanning function wasn’t working on my printer and I was desperate. To my surprise it was easy to use and produces a pretty clear image. I’ve found myself using it beyond my work needs and it has been so convenient to have accessible on my phone. I didn’t realize how often I would use it while out such as scanning an insurance card to send to my husband or a form to submit to my daughter’s school. The only drawback I’ve found is that if the paper I am scanning is not flat, because it’s been folded or wrinkled, it will distort the image. It is generally not a major problem but if you need a super straight image, you lose the ability to “flatten” the paper with a traditional scanner lid or feeder.

JotNotScannerAppPro is so easy to use. It is simple but does an amazing job with edges and legible print that you can lighten or darken. I use it on receipts while still at the store in case I lose them later. I have used other scanner apps and they are so picky about lighting and will even save a slanted document whereas JotNot straightens it out before saving. My printer scanner is the only thing that “equals” the quality of JotNot and going into another room, waiting for it to warm up and then stand there while scanning (plus it isn’t portable) is a pain when I can relax in a chair and scan documents with JotNot. Worth every penny. Paid for the pro version. Let’s you rename and save to other apps and even “files” (the iOS cloud filing app). Love JotNotScannerAppPro!!!
