iScanner: PDF & OCR Scanner 4+

Fantastic

I’m a teacher and I use this all time in my professional and personal life. I scan all my worksheets for school, so I have a blank digital copy, and then I can display it on the smartboard - write class notes and examples and save as a new file that gets posted on my digital classroom so any absent students have access to what we did together in class.
For home use, I scan all my bills and such that I think I may want for future reference (in the organized digital files), so I can shred the paper versions. So handy to have access to various paperwork I might need anywhere I go with my phone.
Also, I scan my child’s artwork and any papers they want to “keep.” Even though we do keep a few masterpieces, having a digital copy has made my child less resistant to tossing the originals.
This is a user friendly app. I’ve have it for a few years and they keep upgrading it to make it a very useful tool.

Great Platform, but the pay component needs work, I’ve got a lot of apps, but I never seem to have as much trouble as I do with this application constantly turning off, it seems like I pay, and I pay, and I pay and comply, when looking at the other competitors in the market the cost for your platform is significantly more when you pay additional money, it’s a generate some grace., I’m constantly working on something time sensitive, and perhaps I haven’t been in the app for sometime, so I may not know that the subscription has lapsed… But the subscription is only time-based, not usage-based.

There should be some way for your CRM program algorithm to say “this guy paid $40 and hasn’t used the program much in the last three months, so now that he’s finally using the program maybe we don’t shut him off immediately because it could be an urgent timing issue”?

Because, I know that many people no longer liked to put automatic renewals into their phone because they end up paying for items that they’re not using and just end up canceling it in the future when they need a program again… They’re not likely to choose the platform for which they have already spent hundreds of dollars on the program and the one time they go to use the program… It won’t work without jumping through a bunch of hoops?

I acknowledge that your software as a service business model requires you to charge people, but even my credit card gives me grace period?

Not sure why the 4.8 rating!

Between the non-stop ads and the developer’s relentless pursuit of premium subscriptions, I couldn’t get anything done. I’m no tech genius, but that’s why we have apps to help, right? I also understand the need for revenue. However, if you offer it for free, then let us use it. I didn’t ask you to give me something free, you offered it.
I had 9 documents to scan and convert to a PDF format to send as an email on my iPad. I tried to keep them in one folder, but after 4 or 5 pages, it wouldn’t let me continue without upgrading. I then did them one at a time and individually converted them to PDF format. Again, it stopped me after 5. While attempting all this, I had to go through two ads after every three clicks navigating the app.
The pages that I was able to convert were sent to my iPages app. When I went to there to view the pages, all the scanned pages were faded gray and unable to be opened.
Also, be advised, the free 3 day trial requires you to cancel 24 hours previous to the expiration. So, that’s really a 2 day free trial. Read the fine print.
I’ve deleted the scanned pages and the app as well. Reviews looked good, but the app didn’t come close to expectations.
