DocScanner 8 App Reviews

129 add

Does everything I need!

Ive been using this app for years. Ive had the occasional problem, but nothing too serious. Id like to see more editing/personalization options, most specifically when adding from camera roll.

Does the Job

This is my "go to" app. but it lacks the ability to select multiple scans to export.

Amazed when devs ruin their apps like this

This is one of those situations when the once loyal users of a once great app are awestruck at the developers poor choices at seemingly every decision point when redesigning their app. Its mind boggling when they seem to get _everything_ wrong. Were they making decisions in a vacuum, did not solicit user input, or what? I was a version 5 user, rated it 5-stars at the time, and mainly used the app to convert receipts to PDF, email them for expense reports, and archive on Google Drive or DropBox, but also whenever I needed to quickly generate an OCR PDF. So sad Ive lost a favorite app. Ive switched to "Genius Scan+" which doesnt support OCR, but its fast and directly exports to email, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Miss the OCR, but I can do without... Google Drive can generate the OCR. Simply read the other "I hate version 6" reviews, and youll get the idea. This is not people resisting change. This is people complaining about a bad app redesign, simple as that. Ive read them, and generally agree, so I wont go in depth repeating them, but based on the 30 minutes Ive spent trying to navigate version 6, the major complaints I have are: - Slow startup - Starts in camera/scanner mode, which is probably why startup is so slow. Half the time, it auto-detects and auto-scans a picture before I can cancel out to the menu. I usually just want to view or re-export previously scanned documents, and would prefer it launch (quickly) to the doc view. Would prefer it give me the choice to start the camera if I want. - Cannot re-export to DropBox or Google Drive directly from DocScanner after the doc is created, only when initially scanning/creating it. To re-export, you must either email or open it in DropBox iOS app, and then save it using the DropBox app. Why??? How did this app become so non-intuitive and user-unfriendly??? I used to believe in DocScanner so much that Ill check in occasionally for a version 7 that fixes this madness. It _WAS_ that good, so good that I wont uninstall and abandon it yet. One day soon, I hope to delete and rewrite this completely negative review with another positive 5-star review, but as for now, I am very, very disappointed.

Craaaaash

Crash crash crash

Crashes every other pic or so

This app used to work so well, why does it crash when I just do what its designed for?

Please help

Worked awesome until IOS 8 update. Now it wont scan documents.

They broke it

This used to be a great app, but the newest version is awful. Ive never been so disappointed with an update. The automatic scan keeps duplicating pages and when I try the manual setting, I am unable to get automatic cropping. Ive used this app for years and Im really disappointed that I will now have to find a new scanning app.

Broken

This is an app I have come to depend on. I use it often to scan my receipts. It has now it has become unusable. The concept of getting someone to buy your app, rely on your app, and then make it unusable seems to be a trend in the app space. Fix fast. There are plenty of scanning apps in the store, and I am ready to move on to something stable.

Step back! Again!

When you you scan it will show the table where you scan it. When you try to send as PDF and open once you send it, it shows you a picture of what you scanned and not the scanned document like it use to. Fix it quick! The loading of the app takes forever. It will send you a picture in pdf format. This is not why I paid. It will also take multiple pictures of one document.

The Square became Rectangle

I was scanning earlier a square document, and yes the edges were correctly recognized. But when I viewed the attachment after I emailed it, it was now a rectangle! Again, I will reiterate for the nth time, we know the developers are doing their best to improve the app. But our voices are one: We Want DocScanner version 5 back. UPDATE: What is with the Badge App Icon? Do we really need it? My homescreen I have 2 "Whatever" that is in the app. Maybe it has two documents remaining to process, but it already has processed everything! You cannot even disable that Badge App Icon. Its not in the Notifications, not in the settings. Where is it? Please please please developers of this app. Give us version 5 back. The app is really really really slow! Youre really going to give me a heart attack because of this app. If Im gonna die of heart attack its gonna be on you! This has been a very useful utility until the update to version 6, wherein its virtually unusable on my iPhone 4!

Wow what a terrible app

I have this app for years and recently with the update it became impossible to use. The auto feature will scan same document again and again whether it is focus or unrecognizable. To add pages in manual mode is nonexistent. I WANT my money back.

Lost all documents

Somewhere in the process of iOS 8 and iCloud Drive, all of my documents went missing. I had dozens of things stored. Now theyre all gone.

Joe

Worst update ever! They took an app that worked great and ruined it. I want my money back. The auto focus function stinks. Keeps scanning the same page over and over. The people who wrote this update obviously have no idea how to code. There is no way to manually add pages with the auto focus off. WORST UPDATE on App Store wish I could give zero stars.

Garbage

The initial version was an excellent app that I used several times a week. The newest version is complete garbage. It is tedious to use, the documents are of poor quality, there are several intermediate steps now required, and pull up menus are completely illegible. It is foolish to put a bad app on the market. But going from an excellent app to this version is incomprehensible.

Ruined This app -- Run Away

This app used to be great; I got clean, reliable "scans" with their processing engine. The new version trashed all of my content and image quality is terrible; auto-uploads fail; the user interface is horrible and it crashes. DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT!!!

WHY????

There is no excuse for this stupidity. I usually do not upgrade stuff I like. I slipped this time and now I have the worst possible scanner with years of scans on it. Will transfer all to cloud and delete this app.

Bring back the older version!

This used to be a great app that I used everyday. now its useless.

horrible upgrade...

Old version of DocScanner was great -- used it to scan all of my receipts for my consulting business, name and date them and then quickly export to Evernote as a PDF for easy management, storage and retrieval for tax write-off information. NO MORE! The auto-focus is HORRIBLE! Ive scanned documents 3 times and they disappear. Cropping feature takes forever. This app really stinks now. And I am an IT consultant…Ive tried to re-teach myself but am now going on to find a new scanner app.

Good App but Frequently Crashes

Turn iPad/iPhone into doc scanner & save/email pdf. Rename, organize, stack, etc. Really great if it didnt crash so much.

Very Disappointing!!!

If youre planning on scanning receipts or anything of importance DONT buy or use this app. Many of my scanned receipts and documents have been deleted, Ive received no response from their support team in regards to my deleted receipts and documents.
