Current version consistently leaves flash LED on after closing app, when flash is used to scan document. Only way to turn flash off is to turn it off manually. Update 3/11/19: Flash issue fixed. scanning multiple page documents is now even easier, faster, and flows really smoothly. star rating increased to 5/5. My flatbed scanner can finally be retired.

Good workflow and image quality. Two major gaps: 1) does not do perspective well, so a scan from an angle isn't the best (and a scan from straight on can be suboptimal because of lighting and shadows). 2) Android version does not allow deletion of a single page from a multi-page document. for a business traveler using this app for receipts, these are significant issues. Unless these are fixed, I will be going back to CamScanner once they get rid of the malware problem.

This app does the job but it's missing some really basic features that would make it way more easy to use. Would be nice to not have to turn on flash manually every upload. Also hard to get the keyboard to pop up to edit the name of your scan. I have had to change the default file name to a bunch of spaces so that the text box is even clickable.

My phone is a Galaxy S8. I purchased the paid version of ScanPro roughly 18 months ago. At some point in the last 6 months they made an update that SIGNIFICANTLY slowed down all functionality on this app. Prior to that it worked perfectly, everything was fast. Now the app opens slowly, scanning is slow and doesn't seem to hold edges very well. Cancelling a scan takes 20 seconds, processing a scan about the same. Saving a scan takes longer. Literally everything about this app is slow. All the other apps on this phone work fine so I'm 100% positive it is not the phone. The app is almost to the point of being unusable. I loved it when it worked, and used it for everything, but now I'm very disappointed. I guess it's time to move to something else.

Scanbot is an easy to use app that can scan in B&W, greyscale, and color. It can save PDFs as single pages or combined in one file. Users can save their files locally on their phone and/or upload their files to the cloud, e.g., Google Drive. Users may scan documents, photos, and objects. My only complaint is that the app is a little finicky about steadying the phone in order to scan an item. If the coders of Scanbot can make this process a little easier and faster, they will have a 5-star app.

I loved this app. It was simple and it worked great. In the last year, I have seen nearly all features stripped away unless you pay 20 bucks a year! I was ok with ads but I was truly astounded to receive a notification today saying I could not scan more than 2 pages without a subscription. As a student, this was an invaluable app but this is unusable to me now.

This is a great little app for keeping and organizing all the mounds and mounds of paperwork that seem to constantly overwhelm my life and home. The pro version is a 1 time fee and super reasonable (though I have been doing the free version for over a year now and still don't really need it). The clarity is superb and the UI simple and intuitive. Love an app that does what it says and does it well. Great job devs!

Pretty good... Ideally at the end of scanning multiple sheets the choice should be "separate" vs "combined", NOT the current "single documents" vs "combined" (which can be perceived as the same thing). I don't know how many times I've been in a rush and clicked 'single documents'. And the upload sync process has seemingly gotten more convoluted in the past few months. (I just killed 30min plus.)

This app has been invaluable for me on the road to save receipts. The ability to upload to Google Drive as either PDF or JPG is excellent. Would like to have a better understanding of what some of the icons mean. This software works great most of the time but sometimes will fail to upload. My last upload had a strange icon that was yellow with a little wave that almost made it look like a yin yang symbol.

Back in the day, this app was pretty good, and it worked fine with only a few annoyances. However, it is now a SCAM. First, you take a picture, coming out blurry Now, EVERY time you try to save a document, you have to watch a loud annoying ad, and then navigate a garbage interface littered with "upgrade to pro for this basic feature" to save it and wait (forever now) while it "formats your document" (whatever that means). Just use something else, don't waste your time watching ads. DO NOT USE!!!

I've had this app for a couple years. It used to be called scanbot, and it was great. A good simple scanner. I recently opened it after not needing to use it for over a month and MAN does it suck now! You have to watch an ad every time you scan. And now there is a limit to how many pages you can scan into one document, which is 2 pages, unless you want to pay. Not to mention a menu pops up with purchase options every time you click on anything or try to go anywhere within the app. Deleting NOW.

I used to LOVE this app since it really is user-friendly and creates nice scans if you really just need a mobile scanner, but after the update I can't keep my free account. It is basically making it so you have to pay for the services. I get to the new screen to subscribe to an email list and get an error. I've tried several times to uninstall and reinstall and nothing has been working. Edit: Fixed the problem - they are super responsive and friendly!

Quality drop since recent update. The scan is also now doing a poor job reoriantating the scan. The words look warped on the edges. It appears I'm not the only one experiencing problems.. hope they find a fix since I have purchased the pro version. The words, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" come to mind when using this app now. They should've left things alone. It was almost flawless and a pleasure to use. I would pay 3x's as much for the previous version if I can get it back.

Overall pretty nifty, with some bugs. Worth the few bucks if you have a good camera vs buying a scanner for home use (receipts.) Issue on Pixel XL and latest Android 9: it refuses to automatically upload scans to Google Drive. I have to disable and re-enable the setting and check upload previous scans to save them to my Drive. OCR is pretty much worthless so don't buy it for that.

The scan quality and control looks very good. Problem is that there seems to be absolutely no ability to organize and store the files after taking the pictures. No folders, no labels! This is a huge problem! I purchased the pro version hoping this would be included but apparently it's not! Also it is pretty slow when capturing and processing images; it would take very long to capture a booklet or even a research paper... But this is secondary...As a side note, ocr is practically worthless.

Update: Rating dropped from 5-star to 1-star. Android 11 made some big changes to the Scoped Storage functionality that Google began to implement with Android 10. One of the biggest user changes is removing access to the "Android/data" folder. SwiftScan places all scanned files in the net.doo.snap folder within the "Android/data" folder. As a result, it is now impossible to access the image files with the Android default file manager, and programs such a BoxSync cannot access and upload the images created by SwiftScan. While the Advanced Settings within SwiftScan allow you to view the file path of the storage location, you cannot change the path This is a significant issue that needs to be promptly addressed to restore user functionality.

I also switched from Camscanner which I loved. I tried other products and settled on Scanbot as it was closest to Camscanner. It is a suitable switch. The "refinement" after the photo of the image is less than CamScanner (which could clean up even a fuzzy image) and it's a little clunky in the app to move the borders and make the image straight. The processing time for the document takes forever. I can't just take a snapshot and email it immediately. It takes 5 min to process before I can email.

I've changed this from a five star rating. Scanbot used to work flawlessly, fast in focus. A few years ago the speed went away and now I have to hold the phone over the document for a very long time while it finally gets a focus and takes a picture. And just lately it won't focus at all and it saves a blurred document that is useless. Uninstalling, moving on.

Edit: Updated review, I have the paid version and this app now shows ads. Will be replacing it. Old review: Good app, some annoying parts. I don't know what camera it's using (phone has 3) but it can't get all of a document in focus at once. It also doesn't allow me to select a different camera. It has a very annoying, loud, and unmutable sound when you tap to focus which wasn't there in the past. Even with all audio on my phone muted, it plays this annoying sound.

UPDATE: Still love this app as my go to scanner. But needs to add passcode or biometrics to lock access (as on iOS version)! Overall a great app. What I'd like to see is that the camera can be controlled to manually take picture. The app will often scan page before I have a chance to align the page, forcing me to take repeated photos of page before its correct. (UPDATE: Changed to 5 stars, based on feedback from developer. Manual picture does indeed work well.)
