4.8 out of 5

This app died at IOs 10 or 11

2022-05-22

This is really a zero star rating. ScannerApp has not worked since version IOs v. 11.0 (maybe 10). The developers don't seem to know how to update ScannerApp . Sure, the camera works fine. The cropping of the scan is not as good as it used to be. But, ScannerApp no longer connects to Dropbox, One Drive, or Google Drive. In fact, it not only doesn't work with One Drive, but it also doesn't give an error message. The last time I had it auto-uploading to Dropbox, at least it told me that the upload failed. I lost a bunch of documents believing that they were uploaded to One Drive. So, ScannerApp is pretty much useless unless you want to connect to Evernote or email the scan to your self every G.. D.... time. What good it a scanning program on your iPhone, if it can't upload the scan anywhere?

I've emailed support with feedback several times and all I get back a canned email saying the problem is fixed and they are working on new things for the next update. That's a bold face lie. The update hasn't happened. They haven't offered a true update for a year. Certainly, none of the many problems with ScannerApp have been addressed. All the high ratings and excellent reviews are from that time period or before. The more recent ones are similar to this one. Definitely, do not buy ScannerApp. I suggest finding a different app that lives up to its claims rather than wasting your time with this one.

“Basic plan (Free)” means you can’t save

2022-06-23

Have had ScannerApp for many many years, and used to use it about once or twice a year. Used to be you were only allowed to have two documents at a time, which was fine for me. Now I have a newer iPhone, and the newer version of ScannerApp will no longer let me save. I have no other documents in ScannerApp , and when you get to the end of the process and want to save, it pops up a screen telling me I need a subscription to have the extra features that I don’t use, and my only choices are to buy the subscription or to cancel out of the pop up and then cancel my scan. Smells like a bait and switch, if you tell me I’m allowed to have up to two scans, and then after I delete them and start a fresh one, you prevent me from saving without paying you. Shame on you! ….I guess I’ll be looking for someone else’s app to depend on, and will make sure to tell EVERYONE I see with an iPhone to STAY AWAY FROM TINY SCANNER!!!

Don’t upgrade to Pro and you’ll enjoy it!

2022-07-24

Tiny Scanner is a good, basic app, but features like Google Drive upload (and any upload other than camera roll and email via Apple Mail) are restricted to Pro users for $4.99. Sure, whatever. I upgraded because I need it in my Drive as a PDF and I don’t even have Apple Mail on my phone. But ScannerApp is an outdated web view app, so Google prohibits Drive access because of security flaws. Frustrated, I attempted to use my iCloud Drive instead. I didn’t get an error message, but it still won’t upload.

Basically, ScannerApp is fine if you only want to have angled cropping tools and file organization and only want to save to your phone. (Does anyone use Apple Mail anymore?) But don’t buy Pro thinking you’ll get a more robust experience, because it’s just broken.

(Ironically, I tried to send the developers feedback about the Google issue. But they only accept feedback through an Apple Mail link!)

Was once a 5 star app, new update ruined most useful feature

2022-08-25

New update makes controlling the contrast of a scan incredibly clumsy and frustrating, resetting the page every time a slider is altered. App doesn’t leave the sliders open long enough for a user to see what they change and make a decision. This is a really crappy UI for an iphone now, and it’s so frustrating that I’m considering switching over to a competing camera scanner app because of it. I just want to be able to check that my writing on a scan is legible and the new update has made that 10 times harder. I appreciate the other options, but this one change is a big enough deal to lose multiple stars from my review.

Suggestions to fix: make the contrast sliders stay onscreen until the user chooses to dismiss them. It’s that simple. Also let the visual result adjust itself without snapping back to the original unzoomed document size, comparison is easier that way. I know ScannerApp has the ability because it did this fine before the update.

Great scanner/time and paper saver

2022-09-26

ScannerApp itself is great for turning in paperwork to the office while out in the field (construction). I do have a couple of complaints, though. It doesn’t transfer any of your previous documents from a different phone or share with iPad. It also went from being a $5 one time purchase for the last 4 years with zero issues. I recently received a new work phone and now its around $30-$35 a year. These 2 issues haven’t kept me from using ScannerApp itself because I haven’t sat down yet to see if their are any other comparable apps that can solve these 2 issues. When I do and if I find one, I will update this review. ScannerApp would easily be 5 star and was until I recently figured out these issues with new phone.

Decent Scanner Poor Interface with Dropbox

2022-10-27

As far as scan apps are concerned ScannerApp performs pretty well. It offers limited ability to change contrast and color but for free who can complain. Most scanners do a poor reproduction of the original color document. Sadly in white page background the color scan shows the white as grey. But that is true of the other scanning apps I have tried. If edges are not detected to your satisfaction you can adjust easily with the touch of your finger. It handles multiple pages very well and saves the scans in logical manner. The downside is the limited function to export scans. Once you initial define your Google Drive or other external cloud service it is very difficult to change settings. For me, the big downside is the inability to save to Dropbox. The functionality is present but it no longer works. The first year or so of using ScannerApp it worked great but now no longer works. I contacted the company and they acknowledged the problem and asked for patience. That was about a month ago and no fix provided thus far. Still looking for a high quality scanning app.

Better than a scanner but often slow

2022-11-28

I am thrilled to have tinyscan because it means I own less equipment and I always have a scanner with me. I need to scan docs on the go daily. But they can get hung up for hours or even days in the cloud and sometimes, they simply never arrive in my email.
That means you have to see that it is actually there before deleting any doc from tiny scan.
They also really want you to buy it so you cannot store more than 3 documents (they can each be multiple pages) in ScannerApp without buying the paid version.
Camscan is also good and has a bit more functions to choose from with how to send your docs out of ScannerApp to email etc.
I have both apps on my phone so if one is not working well I can use the other;)

BEST Scanner & one of my MOST USED apps!

2022-12-29

I love ScannerApp. I work in a retail store that does a lot of shipping orders during the holidays. Most of these shipments are gifts for the recipients, which means the receipt for the order can't go into the box like it normally would. Considering most of the customers placing these shipping orders don't live in our area, I needed a way to send them their receipts. Before looking into a scanner app I would scan the receipt using our printer, save it to the computer, attach the file to an email and send the email to the customer. After about 5 or 6 shipments a week, this gets pretty darn old. So I decided to look into an app that would make this easier for me. I tried 3 or 4 different apps and finally decided to give the Pro version of this one a shot. TOTALLY WORTH IT. I have my work email linked to my phone so I can scan the receipt and email it to the customer in the time it would take me just to get to the printer upstairs!! Not only that, but it's a perfect image copy of the receipt and 100% legible by the customer. Since upgrading to the Pro version, I have found SO MANY uses for it! I scan and text the weekly schedule to all staff, scan documents I want to hang on to and send copies to my boss that he can print or view as if it were the original copy! Definitely one of my MOST USED apps!

Great Scan App

2023-01-30

This is a great App for Scan. This scanning app is really work well. It is very easy to use and makes life easily. It is a money-saver, time-saver and life saver. It is help save time rather than going to the copy machine just Scan. It is bringing lots of convenient for life. One of my favorite would be that I can scan the document a lot faster and ScannerApp automatically show you the document. I used ScannerApp several times due to I do not have lots of paper work to scan currently as a student. But I will keep ScannerApp and use it in the future. Very easy to use and very helpful. I use it on my cell phone and my Ipad. I really like being able to email a document immediately. Great App!

Great app. Has had incredible impact on my job

2023-03-03

I work in healthcare as a Nurse Manager. I’ve used ScannerApp for at least 3 years. I’m always needing info as I round through departments from the documents and whiteboards that are by their design are fluidly changing info throughout the shift. I use this on my work iPhone to capture the info I need, quickly edit the image and email it to myself to reference the Information for my reports and assigning resources. The good design of ScannerApp lets you do this all right in ScannerApp in a few simple quick steps. I always have the info I need in my pocket for meetings or quick hallway discussions.
Tiny scanner has increased my efficiency and effectiveness more than any other tool, system or training I’ve ever implemented. I am respected as the person with the correct and current for anything Administration needs to know. It’s so much more effective than trying to remember from my memory and notes and to have the info for any unanticipated questions. It’s all right there at my desk or in my pocket. Additionally I have a record of information to support me.

Tiny Scanner has Saved my Life

2023-04-01

During this COVID-19 Pandemic I would not have been able to telework without it. It is more efficient than my all in one printer and much easier to use. It also helped my daughter scan school assignments and we’ve even scanned colored invitations. It is fast, efficient and easy to use. You can scan in bw, gray scale, color or photo and I have used all these features at one time or another. I cannot say enough things about this efficient app. When I got it, there was a small fee but I think it might be free now (not 100%). I would recommend ScannerApp to anyone who needs to work from home or just needs a scanner at their finger tips.

Time saver extraordinaire!

2023-05-03

I bought my version of Tiny Scanner some two years ago while on a trip to Japan. I had gone up to the hotel counter and asked to fax a one page document back to the USA to meet a time deadline. That took 45 minutes of my time and made me late for a meeting. During the break in that meeting I expressed my dismay about such a simple task taking so long. One of colleagues from Kenya, Africa suggested I use his program for scanning. I did and sent my next fax back to the USA in less than three minutes including the photo taking of several pages. Since then, I have used my Tiny Scanner program in airports and hotels from New York to California. No more problems with time wasted and no problems with language barriers. I recommend it to everyone.

Great app! Thank you for fixing the update!!

2023-06-03

ScannerApp is once again amazing! It went from awesome to horrible back to awesome! I recommend ScannerApp to all my friends and they too love it! The scans once again come out clear and legible. The new feature of selecting more than one photo to upload at a time is super handy and saves so much time too!!

Thanks for an amazing app.

Quick note, if you are a person who intends to do a lot of scanning via ScannerApp, I suggest going “Pro” and purchasing the full version. ScannerApp only allows 2 files at a time (2 files with as many pages as you’d like in each file) if that makes sense. The 2 files is perfect for me since I use ScannerApp pretty sparingly.

Only 4.99 stars

2023-07-05

This is so perfect for me, quickly moving sheet music to my iPad near instantaneously

Why the missing .01? We have choir practice 1 hour before performance. Since we are woefully disorganized they often hand me sheet music seconds before we run through it for the first and only time. Sometimes in the rush I forget to tap "batch mode", so I have to go back and start over. If I could switch to batch mode right then and there, I'd give it the extra .01

Now, for six stars, auto-integration with ForScore so I can skip the import step, wow. For 7 stars, it'd integrate with ForScore on my iPad, as I use the camera on the iPhone because it has a flash. Not sure why the iPad doesn't have one, but it makes a big difference when you're playing sheet music live that you've never seen before.

WHAT A. BAD APP!!!!!

2023-08-05

After reading the other review here, I wasn't expecting much from a $0.99 app. But after spending a few moments with it, it truly is worth more than the buck they charged. As someone else stated, lighting plays a factor for success. I think that's why the iPhone 4 users are having little issue versus the iPod users. ScannerApp will correct "uneven" scans, aligning documents into the image as if they were scanned on a flatbed scanner. There are enough settings to adjust the images into a workable document. Tested out the OCR functionality on 4 different documents. Not one of them had an incorrect word listed. All were tested with the flash on and in good lighting (again, I think this makes the difference). There are other features that I haven't tested yet, such as network document sharing and WebDAV support.

No need for a home scanner... So useful!

2023-09-06

I paid for the full app, and it was such a small price for the utility. I use tiny scanner primarily to scan documents with images and text, such as receipts, driver's license, and forms. ScannerApp has the ability to scan and save files as single page or multi-page PDF's, select page size (I mostly use "letter" for 8.5"x11"), scan in BW or color, email files conveniently and quickly through ScannerApp , and other features. Generally the image quality of the scan is lower than the quality from a flatbed (page face down on glass) scanner. However, I have sent files scanned from TinyScanner in an official capacity (applications, HR paperwork, etc.), and the level of detail of the scanned files has been appropriate for those purposes. TinyScanner is incredibly convenient, easy to use, and useful!

Sheet Music

2023-10-08

ScannerApp is so much better than I expected.

I've begun the huge project of scanning in my sheet music library so I can use my tablet instead of heavy books on a bulky music stand. I paid for a sheet music editor/reader called ForScore (I HIGHLY recommend it, you can do everything on it) so I needed a scanner to create PDF's for it to read.

The process is still rather tedious by nature, but Tiny Scanner allows me to do this for free whenever I have the time in my own home. It color corrects the yellow pages, makes the black lines thicker and easier to read, and just runs perfectly. It's easy to use. I also use it now to copy signed performance agreements to my clients. It used to take me ten minutes to use my printer, convert it to PDF and attach it to an email. I'm done in under two minutes now. I highly recommend ScannerApp, it runs perfectly!

One of my top productivity apps

2023-11-08

ScannerApp has changed my life. It is super easy to use. As easy as taking a picture, and it finds the document borders for you, and can group multiple pages/scans into a single pdf. The options for different processing modes (b/w, grayscale, color) and adjustments offer plenty of flexibility, and the ability to upload directly to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc, makes organization easy. It has helped me stay organized and allows me to digitize documents,etc, for my own record keeping. For example, it’s now a breeze to digitize paper forms for filing taxes online, or digitize receipts to email or upload for reimbursements. As a scientist, I also use it for easy digital capture of my lab notebook (hard copy stays in lab) - having a digital copy means I can check my notes from anywhere.

By far, the BEST scanner app I've tried

2023-12-10

I wanted money on Scanbot and at least 3 other scanner apps. Non comes close to tiny Scanner in terms of black & white scan quality, simplicity & ease of use. It is the ONLY scanner app I use now despite owning paid versions of others. Wanted to write this for a long time to thank the developers but... life always gets in the way. I use TS for digitizing some of my books so that I can take them on my iPad. The black and white creates the lightest PDF size. Other apps just can't get it right. They are very low quality with jagged edges. Tiny Scan does lines and details with precision. Love ScannerApp. The other settings are also excellent - the grey and color. Creating multi page scans is intuitive, and it's easy to work with my Dropbox. Oddly, the Dropbox mobile scanner probably places in number 2 for scan apps; but again, the quality of TS is second to none.

Actually 4.9 stars

2024-01-10

Great app, great scans, easy to use. Definitely worth the upgrade to the Pro version for improved document management. One suggestion for the future: the ability to reorder the pages. ScannerApp can take any photo you have in your camera roll and convert it to a scanned document with crisp text. Even a legal contract photographed with a regular camera with bad lighting, and emailed to you. With Tiny Scan you can convert it to a laser-quality black & white printable doc ready to sign. Good job. Recently I got hit by a virus. I had to reset all my iOS devices (clean install) and the ONLY scanner app that had saved everything to the cloud was Tiny Scan. With the others (Genius, CamScanner & this app+) I had painstakingly save the most important, and let the rest go, but with Tiny Scan all I had to do was to hook up to my cloud service. Even Apple benefited , because I increased the amount of storage I rent in iCloud. I don't own stock in this company, but this scanner software is the only one I reinstalled on my equipment. Try it.

Works exactly how I want

2024-12-11

After struggling for years with ridiculous PC based scanning programs before a simple one came out I expected something similar when it came to a phone/app based scanner. But I was pleasantly surprised. Not only does it work the way it's supposed to, your able to manage your documents well. Within 5 mins I decided just to shell out and buy the pro version because I quickly realized how useful ScannerApp will be considering with the pro version I can upload to Box (or a number of other cloud based apps). I do a lot of hand written writing and like to scan in the documents as a back up. ScannerApp accomplished that. The documents look good. I would recommend this to anyone. Even the free version works well and is quite functional. But the upgrades are worth it because ScannerApp comes in handy.
