Reviews for Simple Scan - PDF Scanner App

-This is a genuine review. This is the best Free Scanner App I found on the play store. -It has ads but, they only appear like once every time you use the app. It has a premium option. -This app stores your scanned documents in the app/phone files. I don’t know if it has a […]

Best Scanner App on the Market!!! I’ve been using this scanner app for like 4 years now and it’s great!! Super quick and easy to use, and you can even upload directly to Canvas which makes turning in assignments on paper easy. I’ve never made a review for an app before but I love this […]

I think this is a simple to use and effective PDF document creater, when you want to take a picture of a document with your smart phone and have it saved as a PDF file that can be opened with a PDF viewer / editor on a Mac or PC device. While it seems to […]

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 in for extra the daily extra credit. I’ve checked settings and app is updated, so it’s not a problem on my end. But it does […]

Great app, very easy to use and send PDF files to email etc, BUT… Word of warning (& why I’ve removed 2 stars) it will happily let you scan several documents for free then WITH NO WARNING) the entire app will lock down, you can’t scan any documents or access any previously scanned documents and […]

First use tried to push me to the paid version. Popped up a screen to rate but only if I wanted to give it five stars. In addition to having advertisements on the free version which would be okay if it did everything, if you want to do anything much more than just scan and […]

Update- i came back to see if improvements had been made. Now I can’t get it to upload to drive at all. Too bad the oddly implemented upload issue cripples an otherwise great app. Original- It’s ok, it does better than most at auto-crop. But a couple issues. I would prefer to choose Google Drive […]

When it works, it’s a perfectly satisfactory scanner. I use it frequently for scanning homework files or application letters. A lot of the time though, scans will come out really poorly. Pages will be heavily skewed and large chunks of the original image will be chopped off. This forces you to rescan the image, where […]

So far this has been the best free document scanner I’ve found. I downloaded multiple others before coming across this one. The others would claim to be free but after downloading the app it would say I had to pay after a 3 day trial, etc or would have a max of 5 documents I […]

Use it for assignments in college. I can share straight to the class site on Canvas to turn in file and don’t have to go through the hassle of emailing the file to myself first. Lets you take multiple pictures at once and super easy to retake just one if you need to. Even crops […]

Solid free scanning app. Easy to use, can export to pdf or image, and allows a variety of filters and cropping to get the best scans. Certainly helps to have good light and a good camera, but still does a decent job even if you don’t. Sometimes struggles with light pencil writing, but that can […]

Excellent app, scan documents and convert to PDF comoletely free. Photographs can also be taken and stored. This is a convenient way to stay organized too. There’s additional features like faxing and placing watermarks. There is advertising that pops up however, it’s a reasonable trade off for the free service. If you want to get […]

Exactly what I needed. I took pictures of my docs with sun coming in a window and casting shadows on parts, but everything still looked like it was professionally scanned! No shadows. Very clear, not blurry. No one will be able to tell I don’t have a scanner! Very easy to email. Yes, ads come […]

Well, I’m waiting for the pop-up adds and upsell, but so far, they haven’t come. I use this kind of app for many things. I find it quite convenient and much nicer that many comparable apps. The app I used to use has become loaded with bloatware, pop-ups and it takes way too long to […]

Currently only using the free version, that said. no watermarks making excessive borders, not alot of ads and the file name staying as I need it vs it automatically tacking on words I dont need. Perfect for what I do. Do plan on getting the full pro version as it only allows 5 files in […]

The best scanner app I used so far. Easy to use. Ads are annoying but it’s free. You can take multiple scan and save it. You can send the entirety that was saved under the doc name or certain pages. You can find it in the order you saved the document. If you email it […]

When I first open the app, it said I had to set up an account, from a pop-up box that I had to click “OK” and put in my credit card. It turns out this was an ad, not the simple scanner service, and it took my card information, said it was a free membership, […]

When I first started using the app, scanned documents appeared in a folder in my gallery, but that stopped happening at some point. Now I have to email them to myself from the app after scanning and then save them to my phone, or else I just can’t access the document at all. I’m not […]

This used to work perfectly. Now I find I need to do a lot of retakes and clicks to get the document image I need. It’s no longer so “simple”. The ads have gotten more intrusive also.. they try to trick you into clicking on them. It’s a free app so I get the ads, […]

So this app forced me into an upgrade otherwise I couldn’t continue scanning. It was $4.99, plus tax probably. If I wasn’t so desperate to send over school work ASAP, I would’ve looked for a different, better app. You can’t even send the images through text messages if you wanted to. I’m trying to find […]
