Scanned 3 documents so far and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Interface is intuitive and has the features I want. It is an Adobe product so it prompts you to sign in and tries to sell you on a subscription now and then, but so far I haven't hit a pay wall to: take pictures, auto crop and adjust, make a PDF, and send that document to an email.
Reviews for Adobe Scan AI PDF Scanner, OCR
← Back to Adobe Scan AI PDF Scanner, OCRLike many others I was forced to uninstall CamScanner, as Google had informed me that it contained advertising fraud. I downloaded this as an alternative, and to my surprise the functionality is buttery smooth. It integrates with Adobe Reader seamlessly. And the best part is that it's really, truly free. No hidden fees or subscriptions or any of that. I'm in love with this app, and will continue to use it for years to come.
Since I was asked to rate and review this app only after using it for less than 1 minute, there's only so much I can say. Uhhhh, it downloaded just fine. Ummm, I scanned a receipt and it took a good enough picture. Um, it saved to my phone, as it should. Sooo, yeah, it's been a good experience so far! 🙄 No wonder you can't base purchases off of reviews anymore... SO frustrating...
Easy to use! I have used at least 4 different apps and this one is the best. It does a good job making the white background white, which helps my printer, because it's not receiving as much(gray) data. I like that Adobe also has digital features to fill out and sign documents. This app is a great little companion to my printer. As mentioned before I've used a lot and this one makes scanning faster because it's so intuitive.
Neat idea, awful execution. It's literally easier and less time-consuming to just take phone pics, transfer them to a computer, crop and bundle them into a PDF, and then transfer back to the phone. Every time I went to save the PDF of what I scanned, the app crashed, and more often than not, it lost my progress. I uninstalled this POS the same day, and somehow lost over 100MB of storage in the process despite not having 1 file on my device to show for it.
Digital paperweight! Apparently the same problem has existed for more than a year. In order for business card images to be converted to text, they first have to be uploaded to the cloud. This is where the app fails. It simply doesn't upload, which turns the app into another way to add to your gallery and eat up storage. But, at least free. The problem has been reported over and over again, but it clearly isn't a high enough priority to fix yet.
WARNING: No longer free! It does go a great job (sometimes with some manual adjustments), and I came to love it and used it for the rare occasions I had a document to scan and email and such because it's more convenient than a traditional scanner. HOWEVER, definitely not worth paying a subscription fee given the free competitors. It works well, but several alternatives (Microsoft Office Lens, for one) are roughly equivalent, and free.
Easy to use. Perfect for my needs. An easy quick fun method for capturing family photos from years past. I get to send as a digital file immediately after scanning. This has basic editing tools, perfect for quick editing. Don't expect Hi Resolution quality so you can enlarge for photo frames. Alot of cell phones are not meant for that. Your PC is. I recommend this for beginners.
Excellent. I don't normally leave reviews, but this app just saved me a 30 minute trip and some time working. It gets a decent scanned image in seconds uploaded to the cloud for my laptop. I only wish the scan was slightly easier to read (it's a great quality scan), but that can only be a nitpick, it's amazing for when you need it on the go, or in a pinch.
Very helpful and functional app to scan documents. The only one thing I would like to say, then you scan document, there is no option to save it, only you can do 'retake' or 'continue'. After you press continue, only then you can press on the scanned document and share it or save it, or you're scanning next document. So where are two steps to get save scanned document instead of one, and they are not intuitive.
It's the best app I've found for scanning and auto cropping documents. But its stability issues are inexcusable. The camera part constantly crashes. Causing the whole phone to freeze up until you can finally minimize the app. It also takes out the camera in the process so it can't be used by any other app until you restart your phone. The best workaround is to take pictures with the camera app and then import into the app, but only if you get to that before it crashes.
It's great and I know it takes a learning curve. I am fairly adept at using software on any device, PC or phone and this app is good so far. Why 3 stars? Because there is no way to find the scans once saved. No matter where I look in any folder under any criteria, it cannot be found. So until a feature is added to show where it saves scans, etc, I'll pass. If it's only viewable thru the app, then it's a no go for me.
For musicians, this app makes scanning and sharing copies of music as PDFs so much easier, especially since you can just use your phone. This app has been a great help to me in the creation of PDFs. However, I did notice my scans suddenly disappeared off the app randomly one day, which I did not appreciate. They are still somewhere in my phone, but I have only found a couple. That was very aggravating.
Most of the time it works greatly. Some magical code makes sense document look like a scan through a scanner device. Then sometimes it is dark and unreadable. I use the phone camera for a standard photo. The with the app make a scan from a photo in my gallery. Overall, any improvement may come from increasing the speed of the scan, somehow. I use it for work and find it makes a difference in getting the story out.
These monthly subscription fees are apt to drive most people to bankruptcy... I get it, you've developed a brilliant piece of mobile software and you want to be fairly compensated for it's use. However, keep in mind that the average consumer will have 20-40 other pieces of software or streaming services all clamoring for monthly subscription fees at similar price points. We can't afford it. If it were a one-time $10-25, maybe. But $9.99/monthly?? Not going to happen.
It said you can select what you scan. YOU CAN"T. It can't even correctly select the document! In fact ,this app can't do much of anything - there are hardly any controls. It was COMPLETELY misrepresented. The ONLY control is turn off automatic capture, and that doesn't stop it from selecting HALF of SOME documents before it waits for you to press capture! I am telling you. USELESS. AND, you can't even save it to your phone! You're supposed to FIGURE OUT how to SIGN INTO ADOBE to get your files - I DO NOT THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave it 3 stars only because Scanning works well, but all the features are not free, and I wish I could pay a one time payment. $9.99 a month? Come on. It's sad cause I realIy like this app. it locks a bunch of important features. Too expensive. If it was maybe a one time fee of $10-$20 bucks then maybe, but not monthly, That's ridiculous. I'll look else where, I suggest others do the same.
My phone isn't a fancy brand, but does have plenty of RAM, and the camera is of good quality. That said, I did have to tweak a few settings to get my handwritten (in pencil) notes to show clearly. It didn't take long, however, and now I am really happy with the features that allow me to capture, organize, and store all my notes, and to access them from all of my devices. I prefer to save to my Google Drive account instead of Adobe Cloud and there is no problem with that. 5⭐!
Garbage page detection. App should be really good, but trying to scan multiple pages in a document wastes more time than it would save. The app searches for pages to scan but it will take basically anything: your hand, the floor, a blurry picture of a coffee mug... it snaps anything and moves to the next page. It ruins any document you're trying to scan by taking a bunch of useless pictures. If you can get it to actually take a picture of a page then it's great.
Best mobile office app. Working for the court system, I don't always have the time to go to my office and scan documents. Adobe Scan makes my job more efficient and effective in scanning, editing, and combining files to get them to where they need to be. Other scanner apps that I have tried were not high-quality as Adobe. The images were blurry and dark. Some didn't offer features to work with, such as editing. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone.
