Reviews for TurboScan™ Pro: PDF scanner

Love it! I use this app to take pix of my kid's progress and grade reports, of business cards, flyers, and items I need to email. I use it to clip things to Evernote, and to take pix of my Bullet Journal spreads! I record my handwritten journal entries as PDFs, and I have used it to scan and send official documents. Excellent multi-page functionality. Love it! I highly recommend it to everyone who needs to scan documents on the go! Update: This app is indispensable!

Great app. Great for music copies on the gig. Also great for other things. I keep separate folders nested in my TurboScan folder and occasionally drag and drop different docs to the appropriate folder manually. Update 10/13/23 Still indispensable but don't have as much time to drag files to folders. Would be really nice to have an automatic system! Hope developer considers it.

I've been using it for a year. Switched over from cam scanner paid to purchase it have had no trouble at all with it. Very simple to use any mistakes that were made like paperwork having to be redone was user error not the app and you can't beat the price. Highly recommend if you need a good PDF scanner. This is a good one

I've scanned thousands of pages with TurboScan. It helps me stay organized and clutter free. Sharing documents is easy, and I don't lose receipts, letters, or anything else. I've used it to quickly grab quotes when doing research, and scan the manufacturer's plates on equipment. Super useful!

Works just fine! It is no magic, if your phone camera is bad, you won't get nice scans... Otherwise it is as good as such an app can be, contrast is great, crop tool as well and image taking too. Only missing thing: save the file to my phone as PDF.

Good App but it would be the best if you can provide an option to create a group folder so that we can design the folder as per our way and can add folder or files inside it for our convenience. Right now it is like messed up with each files and documents in a same dashboard which creates confusion and delay in time.

Great product! It's easy to use and has lots of features. It captures well in all lighting, handles distortion, lots of output formats, cropping, and adjustments. Basically, a photo editor but better. I use it for pictures, receipts, general screen shots, sharing in different formats etc. and it works so well.

I've been using TS Pro since 2019, and it is easily the best and most reliable app I have ever used on mobile. I don't typically purchase apps or even premium versions of them, but the few bucks I spent on this back in the day were VERY well-spent. All of the features work wonderfully, and being able to transfer everything from phone to phone through the years has been a life-saver. I cannot recommend TurboScan enough!

update: 10 years in and I still use this app regularly, it's great!.... I've used this app for about 6-7 years, never failed, very easy to quickly scan and pdf docs. I think my phone can do this now too natively, but it's very easy with this app. I use the 3x option with flash enabled.

One of the best Scanning apps. You can scan photos, cards, texts, write-ups, assignments ( which I just it more for ). It's worth it. No watermarks is the best feature I got on this app. It lets you edit the margins of the scanned document. Well it does it automatically too, but the final choice is the user's. It lets you choose between 5 contrast options and also the colours option. It's the best in its kind and lite too.

I'm so pleased to see this app is available on Android. I loved it on iOS, and it seems just as well designed here on Android. I've been struggling with bloaty subscription-based scan apps on Android for years...it's so nice to be able to remove them and replace with a cleanly-designed, reasonably-priced scan app. Yay for nice everyday tools.

Works just fine. I wish it could send automatically the scans to Drive or Dropbox instead of storing them in the unit. Scsns are also very heavy, and therefore difficult to email when they have several pages. Should have the option to adjust the scan resolution so you don't have to always have very heavy docs.

I have tried different apps for scanning and this is the one that I consistently find the easiest to use. The file sizes it generates are small yet they are very sharp. I wish it had some internal organizational feature like folders and tags. And a different view to help locate documents.

It doesn't focus properly. Depth of field is terrible - part of the page is in focus and part of it isn't. The new camera driver doesn't work either - it just washes everything out. A different scanning app and the scanning function of the built-in camera app both work fine, so it's definitely an issue with TurboScan. I'm giving it 3 stars because you can still use the image manipulation functionality on images from your gallery.

I bought Turboscan in February 2022 and was using it happily together with Syncthing to automatically synchronize all my scans to my computer. This broke in an update long time ago as Turboscan now always saves the scans to its private folder. Extracting the scans is now a painful manual process for me. The developer should support this case, it cannot be that hard, just add a setting for the user to choose where to put the scanned files.

09-2025 Update: If you are not using TurboScan Pro to capture documents, receipts, health insurance cards, etc. you have yet to discover the easiest, most powerful, productive way to scan, store, or send documents. 2019: Great way to keep up with receipts while traveling Small image files easy to process. And capture handwritten meeting notes. Quick way to scan documents from your phone.

Simple & Awesome. Update: I don't know how many years I've been using this now but it's still awesome. the quality is outstanding. I'm a real estate broker and use this app often to scan signed contracts onsite and email them directly to the agent (well, when my clients can't esign for some reason). It's literally help my clients win offers in a tight seller's market.

Pretty good. The pages generated are very high quality. It doesn't have as delay between pages as the last (free) app I tested, and no ads. The only possible negatives I can see are a slightly fiddly interface in generating the PDF file and at the point right after you take the pic, if it doesn't detect that you might want to change the captured area, you don't get that option and won't get it again for that image, so that part definitely needs further work. Still a quality scanner.

I have used this app for at least 4 years on a daily basis. I have scanned more the 500 documents in that time, and I have to say it's one of the few apps that I give five stars. Update, lowering to 3 stars due to the fact that it lacks the features of the iOS app and the company does not plan to add them on Android. It sucks

20250719 - TurboScacontinues to be the most significant app on my phone not directly related to work. TurboScan is the single most important application on my iPhone or my Android phone. In both cases, I use it for everything from taking pictures to just remember something to making backups of legal documents. I've a nearly complete history of my range scores to developments in my saltwater fish tanks. The ability to rapidly email digital copies of documents cannot be overstated! Best app ever.
