Reviews for CamScanner- scanner, PDF maker

I haven’t used much of these scanning applications, but I suggest there are rarely apps with this precision and quality. I use it for my studies and sometimes for other documents, and it gives the exact desired quality, and ease with auto cropping and edges detection. My only complaint that made me rate it 4, […]

while trying to share scanned documents on the free app version, after pressing share via mail, immediately ad pops up. That ad is disrupting sending a shared file which ends up in the mails outbox. After that you have manually re-send from the outbox to send file. This must be fixed, otherwise it’s unusable as […]

Bought the full forever version, now it’s a hard sell ads for 49.99 a year subscription. Today, I couldn’t save a file without seemingly subscribing to the trial that turns into a subscription. these are full screen ads. It does have good functionality, but coercive ads before saving a simple image it too much. switching […]

they have charged me without any prior notice for premium package. this is totally unacceptable. I wonder how many have been charged this way. there is no way to install and try this app without giving you payment details. trial for 3 days. if you don’t receive any notification for this option to continue or […]

This app is a waste of money and people shouldn’t believe the trial period. I cancelled within the trial period and was still charged. I requested a refund and was denied by Google. If you try to email documents with this app it sends a link and nobody wants to click on a link, because […]

Been using the app for a time now, and no errors or bugs, file loses or dissaperances met. You can put any document into any style you would want: Word, PDF, slideshow and excetera. Also, their upgrade of the AI bot was a really good feature; capable of summarizing document, if asked to. CamScanner is […]

This app should be renamed Cam Scammer. I was just charged for a six month subscription that I did not agree to. I am already paying monthly for premium, and the app would not allow me to use it today without “upgrading”. I clicked free trial and was immediately charged $39.99 plus tax! This is […]

If you need to keep your receipts for taxes, tracking expenses, or whatever reason. This is the app you need. It saves everything to a clear, easy to read PDF. I use CamScanner to photo/scan my receipts for work. Makes doing expense reports so much easier. Best PDF scanner app on the market. Used free […]

I had a terrible experience with this app. I canceled my subscription during the 3-day free trial period, yet I was still charged for a full year’s subscription. This feels very unfair and misleading. I strongly urge the developers to fix this issue and handle subscription cancellations more transparently. I have send so many emails […]

Used to be really good, now it won’t even let you save your scan as a pdf, only as an image. If you try to export as pdf nothing happens. You can save the file but only as a .zip. You used to be able to choose the scan area, but now it’s only automatic, […]

I’d give this app 5 stars for straightening pictures of pages/pictures taken using my phone, which is what I got it for but it has a paid feature that is supposed to translate text in photos to text. It doesn’t work. Firstly since it saves in pdf format I expected it to replace the text […]

Uninstalled. Has sneaky promotional ads that made their way to my phone. But when I tried to click on reviews first (before installing) the promotional link was disabled! I eventually got in and saw the reasons that users described: “Switch & Bait” was a popular theme. *But even worse*, the app created a positive review, […]

Free version limitations not made clear. What a waste of time. wish I could rate less than 1 star. The app just erased over 30 files I needed. Lucky me gets to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EXCITEMENT 🙄 How I wish I could rate -10 stars. This app causes so […]

Stop changing how this works. I’ve used this app for more than 10 years and have recommended it to so many people. I stayed with it through all of the time you tried to introduce ads (terrible btw) and then watermarked everything. Now, all of a sudden, it starts blocking out my signature on documents […]

I paid for the app, but will not renew. The scans were fine. Some of the tools are good. However, after scanning 51 editions of a newspaper, I noticed that sorting is awful. It certainly wasn’t alphabetical or numerical or alphanumeric. I could not download the entire batch at once using either phone or pc […]

Normally works great, but now the scanned files can’t be accessed on the website because nothing happens after entering credentials on the email login page. Possible debugging clue: I recently cleared all cookies. Note: I definitely have not forgotten my password. I have used this app for years with easy access to the web portal. […]

Update: CamScanner has been extremely helpful over time. It has been a life saver for both personal and small business needs. CamScanner makes it so quick and easy to check things off my to do list. This app is not even in the same ballpark of any other camera scanners I’ve used (and I’ve tried […]

Updated to mention that several native Android apps provide this service for free, at least on the Pixel. Back in 2017 I reduced the review because I bought the paid version a long time before that but then I needed to repurchase it. On top of that a subscription was needed for access to other […]

Continued Improvements – I tried using this app a few years ago and just deleted it, couldnt figure it out. I was in a bind with some files this year and did the free trial, ended up paying the sub, Im using it all the time! Its a really good app. The bug Ive ran […]

Update: I’ve used this for two years now (free version) and it works great. I use it for work to quickly digitize docs. I scan about for documents per month. Used once. So far it’s easy, user-friendly, free, and looks professional. The only downside to the free version is that all scans come with a […]
