Senior Solutions Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Goodbye scanner!" July 8, 2022 5.0 I can't say anything against the product. You do not need to have a scanner, with your mobile phone and the application you can scan whatever you need. Moreover, you can share the scanned documents through the application. Pros It is an application that you can't have on your device. How many times do you need to "digitalize" a document? How many times must you scan a document? And, with smart working, with the people not more in the same physical location, exchanging documents is the normality. CamScanner is the response to all of these needs. On top of the features, the product is easy to use: you can quickly and easily scan a document and send it. Cons The free version does not let you remove the watermark. This is the main limitation of the free product that you can overcome by buying the license. Reason for choosing CamScanner I do not evaluate other products. CamScanner was the first one that I used and since it does well what I need, I never evaluated other applications on the market. Review Source RG Rosela G.
