Description

Been using Simple Scan – PDF Scanner App for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you scan documents, receipts, photos, and pretty much anything else right from your phone. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.

Here’s what you can do – you can take a picture of a document and it’ll automatically turn it into a PDF. And there’s also an option to import existing PDF files and convert them to image format. And it’s got some handy sharing features – you can email scans, save them to cloud storage, or even print them out wirelessly.

Look, if you need a quick and easy way to digitize your paperwork, this app works pretty well. It’s not perfect – the OCR text recognition can be a bit iffy sometimes – but overall it gets the job done. Worth checking out if you’re into productivity apps like this.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on Simple Scan - PDF Scanner App. I've tried a bunch of different scanner apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The interface is simple to use and the scanning quality is good. Definitely comes in handy for things like receipts, business cards, or any other documents you need to digitize. The cloud/sharing features are nice too. Only real downside is the OCR can be hit or miss, but it's not a dealbreaker. If you need a reliable mobile scanner, this is one of the better options out there.

Good in that it does indeed fax documents. However, I can never get documents to upload to cloud storage, and as of late, it's no longer reminding me to check...
