### "Excellent Scanner on my cell phone"

January 30, 2024

4.0

It is a very good app to scan documents and send them from your cell phone, I recommend it 100%

Pros

It makes it easy to scan documents without having to have a scanner connected to the computer, and it also allows you to convert documents to PDF.

Cons

When you use the app in its free version it has a lot of advertising

### "Escanea documentos con facilidad con CamScanner"

July 21, 2022

5.0

Ha sido una experiencia gratificante, me ha facilitado tareas dentro de mi ámbito laboral, ya que puedo escanear documentos desde mi teléfono móvil y enviarlos directamente a mi correo electrónico, WhatsApp, Messenger Facebook.

Pros

Es un software muy útil, ayuda a economizar tiempo al momento de escanear diferentes documentos, ya que se puede realizar del mismo teléfono celular, reemplazando a las grandes máquinas de impresión y escáner. Además, es una software que no requiere de conexión a internet para poder utilizarla, solo si es que ese documento escaneado se deba enviar.

Cons

Es un software que posee muchas irrupciones de anuncios entre medio de cada tarea. Muchas de ellas no se pueden omitir, por lo que se debe esperar a que finalice el anuncio para volver a escanear un documento.

### "Best Scanner for your cell phone"

April 25, 2022

5.0

My experience with this app was wonderful, as I don't have a scanner at home and during the pandemic, I had to urgently send documents for a selective process, so I researched and found good reviews about Camscanner. After I used it for the first time, I fell in love with the quality and speed of scanning with my own cell phone. The user just needs to point and aim straight with the camera, and the application does the rest of the work with great quality.

Pros

1) The app has a free and paid version for Android and IOS. 2) Even with an average camera resolution, the application can deliver a good result. 3) Layout is easy and intuitive. 4) Just point the camera at the document you want to scan and you will have a scanner result. 5) You can scan multiple documents into a single file. 6) You can save your file in pdf, jpg and other file formats. 7) You can save your files on your device or in the cloud.

Cons

I didn't have any bad experience with the app, but if I had to scan a file that can't be watermarked, I would have to pay for the premium version

### "I do not scan document without it"

October 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

Whenever I have to submit any kind of documents be it: assignments, passport or citizenship, I always use CamScanner. It makes my document look like it was scanned and I look professional submitting it. The feature to remove shadows and the magic filter is the best and I can never go back to normally click a picture of any documents.

Cons

There is a little watermark for the free version but nothing too big to obstruct anything. Nothing too bad, the free version gets the work done.

### "Camscanner Review"

June 29, 2022

5.0

On my part, a very good discovery that has greatly facilitated my work and the sending of scanned documents. I highly recommend camscanner

Pros

This application is a life saver to me, it has helped me a lot at work. A very good value for money with an extreme simplicity of use. The application can be used by cell phone, making it easy to work anywhere. It allows the sharing of information in scanned documents without the need to type them. I highly recommend it.

Cons

I think there is many ads in the free version. and the name of the brand that must be specified below each document.

### "Una buena aplicación para el apuro"

July 19, 2023

5.0

Siempre que la use estuve conforme. Pude tener PDFs y enviarlos en el momento desde mi telefono.

Pros

Me gusto que pueda convertir cualquier imagen a un PDF en el momento, ya no es necesario escanear con una impresora. La calidad de los documentos es muy buena y tiene distintas opciones gratuitas.

Cons

Me gustaría que libere algunas cosas bajo suscripción.

Reason for choosing CamScanner

Porque tenía buenas reseñas.

### "Best free scanner"

March 31, 2023

5.0

Super easy way to scan things from anywhere.

Pros

I love how good the quality turns out and all the options to brighten the doc or leave it as is, plus editing (turn or clip the image to clean it up). I use the free version only.

Cons

Sometimes it will scan the doc and think I want it oriented the other direction - like I will be scanning normal 8 1/2 x 11 papers, and most in the batch will be upright, and even though I did not move the phone while taking photos, it will glitch and start reading them landscape instead of portrait direction. It's not a huge deal because I can turn them in the edit before I save it as a PDF.

### "Easy handling application that facilitates the work of scanning documents."

May 1, 2022

5.0

document scanning is now a reality and with your smartphone and an app to scan documents you can say goodbye to the printed version of many vouchers.

Pros

The ease and handling of the application that can be used by cell phone, facilitating work anywhere.

Cons

The downside is the various advertisements that can bring embedded malware.

### "Perfect for what it is but ALWAYS log in!"

June 29, 2021

5.0

Overall, great product even in the free version, ads are easy enough to ignore, and aren't for anything too annoying. Just always always always log in, don't depend on the app to remind you.

Pros

I love cam scanner and use it on my phone for a lot of boring stuff I do for my job- scanning invoices especially (see what I mean about boring) and it does that perfectly.

Cons

The only con is that you haven't used the app for a while and aren't logged in, you can lose all your work. I spent 45 minutes scanning a series of documents but because I wasn't signed in, I lost it all.

### "Un escáner portátil en el móvil "

October 14, 2022

5.0

Uso este software desde la app del móvil. Me ayuda muchísimo en la digitalización de los recibos y de los documentos en papel. Me permite subir los documentos escaneados directamente a la carpeta del Drive deseada. En definitiva un auténtico me ha simplificado el trabajo.

### "Great product a little pricey for personal use."

January 30, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with cam scanner has been excellent. I see the value in each of the features offered. I only wish I could have gotten more done during the 3-day free trial. I think the price is a little too high for me to keep the app for home use. After I cancel my free trial, maybe I will be presented with other less expensive options or find a promo code? If not I think I will find a free app with fewer features for home use.

Pros

My Husband used CamScanner daily at his previous job to send time sheets & other docs to the office from the field. He raved about it, saying you could turn anything into a PDF, attach pics & then send it directly from the app. He is not a tech person, so this says a lot about the ease of use. So, I signed up for the free trial to scan in some IDs & documents at home. I also used the e-signiture feature. I found it super easy to learn & use. There is an array of useful features ie. Collage so I can condense multiple pages of a contract into one. Encryption, to safely send sensitive documents & the list just goes on. If you have allot of this to do I would definitely recommend CamScanner.

Cons

For home or personal use I think the premium price is a little high unless you have enough to do to justify the price. They do however have a system of earning credits that can be exchanged for premium services over time. I don't completely understand how the program works so I don't want to comment on that too much. If you are using the application for a business I think the price is more than justified. I was only given the option to start a free trial for 3 days then pay the premium price of 49-ish dollars.

En muchas ocasiones debido a que pertenezco a un área que se tiene que desplazar por la ciudad tenemos que digitalizar formatos y gracias a está App puedo hacer desde cualquier lado del mundo y sin necesidad de tener internet en mi equipo.

Pros

La facilidad al navegar en todos las herramientas que tiene la App permite ser más ágil para desarrollar actividades y así poder digitalizar lo que necesitemos.

Se podría realizar una mejora en la imagen del logo para que sea más llamativo hacia el público y así tener mayores usuarios que la utilicen

### "CamScanner to the rescue for on the go"

October 19, 2022

5.0

On the go and easy to use and convert any picture and document into a PDF and also save it in their cloud to stay organized.

Pros

I love the ease of the product and how easy it is to use while on the go and out of the office. I even find myself using it while in the office because it's easier and faster to use than trying to scan the document into my customer from a printer/scanner.

Cons

They are always adding new features, there isn't anything I don't like about it .

### "Easily scan your visual media and get a high resolution file"

February 20, 2023

4.0

I loved using CamScanner. It allows getting a very good-quality scan file. With its integrated image adjustment tool, you can get the result you want. It is software that I recommend to test

Pros

With CamScanner, you no longer need a printer to scan a visual medium. You just need your phone. You get an impressive scanning quality. The app is simple and easy to use. Scanning becomes a breeze with CamScanner. What I like about CamScanner is that you can scan part of the visual medium. The app has a built-in image adjustment tool that allows you to crop, adjust shadows, contrast and distortion, resulting in sharp, clear, and crisp images. It is possible to save the obtained file in PDF or JPEG format

Cons

\- The application has most of its features, such as OCR, for a feeIts privacy policy, which allows it to collect user data and share them with third-party advertisers- Intrusive and annoying ads

### "Useful solutions even for even for personal needs"

February 16, 2021

5.0

Mostly, I'm using this application when I'm not in the office and or I don't have access to the scanner, and I like that I can have the scanner with me wherever I am.

Pros

I’m impressed that having only CamScanner app and a phone camera I can scan any type of paper documents (checks, notes, invoices, discussion boards, business cards, certificates, etc.). Usually, I use this app for work, and I’m grateful to have such an intelligent solution. Now, having only a cell phone we can use it as a multifunction scanner. Sometimes I use to gather all my checks from shopping in one place and calculate monthly expenses integrating them into an Excel document, which also is an amazing feature for me.

Cons

I can't say anything I wouldn't like. One thing is for sure, every day I discover some new features that I would like to apply in practice.

### "A Scan in your hands!"

April 15, 2021

5.0

My experience has been very pleasant using this app. It really has helped me in many situations when I need a scanner. I've been in places where they request a scan in a PDF document for certain documents, they don't accept photos or any jpeg, so this scan tool was the best option.

Pros

The possibility that if I'm in a situation that I need a scan and send a document, I can use this software using my smartphone, scan the document, edit it, save it in PDF, and even send it right away as an attachment weather using email or instant messages.

Cons

I can't really find any cons because when I used I'm pleased with the results and it fulfill the purpose why I'm using it.

### "The best phone scanner app"

February 7, 2021

5.0

I am using CamScanner on a daily basis since 2013. Have testes the competition and nothing even comes near it for my needs.

Pros

CamScanner is unbeaten in scanning documents with your phone. The quality of converting photos to scan-like images is exceptional. And recently they have upgraded their file management system.

Cons

I would love to see OneDrive/Google Drive integration. They are offering space in their cloud service, but it would be even more useful when you could integrate it with other cloud services.

### "Best way to digitized the documents"

January 4, 2021

5.0

I am happy with this app because it helps me in converting my notes written in the hard copy to the digitized form. It's very useful and handy when it comes to digitized documents. I suggest everyone to use this app who wants to have optimized best quality digitized documents.

Pros

I love the way this app digitizes the document so quickly. It also gives me the best-optimized quality with a feature of text and graphics auto enhancing. Moreover, it assists me in sharing the scanned document pdf with the friends easily. Besides that, I like the search functionality because I can easily find documents just by entering the keyword.

Cons

If I want to convert an image to a text or word file, it requires a premium subscription. Also, I cannot remove watermarks or ads unless I subscribe to the premium service.
