Reviews for TurboScan™: PDF scanner

Update: I just received a pdf scan from a competitor “genus” scanner app. This is still better. You can also take photos of documents people send you and convert to PDF happy going on 3 years. This is a high quality and fast smartphone scanner. Has a great feature for eliminating distortion. 1 and 1/2 […]

Great for quickly scanning documents and receipts. My only complaint is the limited number of options for page size selection for creating PDFs. I was scanning some notecards and would have liked the option to save a 3×5 or 4×6 size. I suggest adding a custom entry option for these situations.

I tried scanning the same one page two different times. First time ended up with a circular spatter of blacklight fluoresce around the outer third of the page (which was odd as just regular LED lights in ceiling). Second attempt produced a crisper scan than another app I tried and was simple to email to […]

Hanging onto app, to practice with it. Love how quickly and easily it saves my work to Dropbox. (Made a folder for it, and files auto-save there.) I have a new LG V30 phone. Snapshops I’ve taken of docs to PDF, isn’t perfect (yet). MY FAULT, LIKELY, not taking snaps the best distance away from […]

This app worked great until about two months ago or so. I can scan things just fine, but when I click the ‘Send to PDF’ option, it creates an email, and appears to show the attachment with the email, but when I click the ‘Send’ button on the email, it sends without the attachment. This […]

Takes several tries and at least 10 minutes to receive the scanned document after emailing it. Not happy about paying for something that hardly works. UPDATED 06/25/19: I have figured this app out. I only take and send 1 page at a time, much faster this way. Also, after emailing it once, I wait about […]

Useful app. It’s been very helpful for scanning a number of documents. It does a reasonably good job of determining page boundaries and even when it fails (or you don’t want a full page), it is easy to adjust the boundaries to what you do want. I haven’t had issues with moving the documents off […]

Incredible, well worth the price of the full version, I use it at least once a week. super helpful for artists who prefer to sketch/draw by hand, much easier to use this scanner than to upload to photoshop and manipulate. Also super helpful for students who need to scan textbooks, packets, or other assignments. The […]

Easy to learn, easy to use! This is the scan app I’ve been hoping for. No ongoing monthly payments – a simple $5 for unlimited scans. The scanned files on my phone are easy to find and easy to move and manipulate in my laptop. I learned not to manipulate them on my phone (changing […]

I’ve been using this app for years. In my opinion this is the best app for scanning documents and exporting them in various files formats. I have used this on both IOS and Android and my opinion stays the same. For me, scanning documents every day and exporting them as .PDF files is a laborious […]

Amazing app. I had no idea how much I needed this until I had it. Helps me keep organized and feel confident and capable. I always know where important forms and documents are and I can easily send in forms. So convenient, simple, and only $3 for full lifetime usage if you use it a […]

I have the app on my iphone and use it CONSTANTLY, I worship this app for my job… I recently got a second phone (Samsung) for my Alaska jobs and downloaded the free version. It looked different at first but I figured it’s the phone, so I thought why not get the paid version after […]

Does exactly what I need and nothing more. I use it to catalogue important documents pertaining to my business: expense receipts, titles, insurance cards, etc. I hang on the the hard copies of all official documents, but I don’t have a shifting mass of wadded up receipts on the floor of my work van anymore, […]

I wish I could give it a zero stars. they have made it absolutely useless now! you can’t even email it to yourself,! what the hell? everything worked fine before and now I can’t get anything to work. they just made it way more complicated then it used to be or needs to be by […]

You do have to buy the paid version, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat. You end up having a well featured scanner in your pocket. It makes cropping and dealing with angled views effortless. My favorite use was while buying a car where they have you sign 50 pages of stuff and […]

Good (85/100), could be great with some tweaks. Overall, I use TurboScan often. So much so, I have the paid version. Two things that do frustrate me. 1) it doesn’t always give you the option to crop. Sometimes it does. Other times it does auto crop. It should give you the option auto/manual. 2) Emailing […]

Updating to emphasize my review of a year ago. I’ve been using this app to scan documents for years, and it’s awesome. The 3x feature allows you to get really accurate scans, or you can opt to go more quickly. The process for touching up the scans is also great and helps when scanning documents […]

This app saved me tons of time when I had to scan a bunch of things for a slideshow. Made it very easy to go quickly from a photo on my phone to a cleanly-cropped jpeg on my desktop hard drive with just a few taps. And the quality was excellent. I love how the […]

9/15/2025. I’m still loving this app. I’ve used it for years, and I am very happy with it. It is so convenient, and it keeps all of my scanned documents for future reference if ever needed later. I also always email the .pdf documents to myself and others as needed, straight from the Turbo Scan […]

Integration with my device’s camera has recently stopped working. The page goes out of focus as soon as I hit the shutter button when I try to take a single shot. The three shot mode gets stuck on image 2 or 3 and won’t complete taking the images, requiring me to close the app out […]
