### "Best scanning app by which you can scan and send documents immediately"

June 19, 2021

4.0

Overall this is the best app where it helped me in sending documents to the employer. This application is must in every mobile and also looking forward to have more features in this.

Pros

I really liked the way it scans quick and provide me the solution to send documents to any organisation , the best part is I can make a scanned PDF document

Cons

I really don't like the water marks ar the end of the document as I am using a free version on android . I also didn't like asking for paid version in order to do some conversion of the files.

### "CamScanner Review"

May 7, 2021

5.0

Ability to scan even when power is not available makes it unique

Pros

It's ability to scan in PDF and JPEG format is fascinating. One doesn't need a scanning machine for scanning when camscanner is available

Cons

A lot of features are missing, which makes a scanning machine unique. Scanning can't be done in gray scale.

### "Easy scan without printer"

April 15, 2021

5.0

I can scan any document and I just need to have my cell phone or tablet at hand. It is fast and without cost. Additionally, the documents are of good quality.

Pros

I like that it is easy to use and the documents are perfectly scanned. You do not need special light or a setting space because the application removes any shadow and converts the document as you need it

Cons

the application must have a better start guide or some manual to take advantage of all the features it has.

### "It's popular but......"

June 30, 2021

3.0

Overall the experience is average. If you want to make a trade-off between privacy and features, this app will make you think.

Pros

Ease of usage. The popularity. Like almost everyone uses it for scanning. Pretty accurate OCR and document recognition.

Cons

I have to ditch it because of so many reasons. Lots of ads. Data privacy is questionable. Poor handling of customer concerns. Has even been banned in some countries.

### "Amazing but costly "

January 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

The free version is already good but the full version is fantastic. The different types of document feature make it very handy and fast.

Cons

However, it is very costly and it is not worth it if you do not use it for work.

### "Perfect for Our Small Business"

February 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

We recommend camscanner for scanning documents during the hiring process. Many contractors use it for storage of their hiring documents, making it easy and quick to send. Great option to move around pages, remove pages, combine documents and separate pages in a PDF.

Cons

It can be slow at times when moving around pages in a PDF.

### "I think I prefer this app to a physical scanner."

January 10, 2021

5.0

I use to have a printer/scanner combo, and when it stopped working, I planned on buying a dedicated scanner (I was thinking that +2 years ago), but I found this app, and I have never looked back. It's a lot easier to use (you don't have to download drivers to make it work) than the physical device, and you can convert it to PDF and send it via email directly from your phone.

Pros

The app is free, you can scan any document, select a "look" as if it was Instagram filters

Cons

None for this app, it works like a charm.

January 31, 2022

4.0

I am super happy overall with this app.

Pros

Being able to scan anywhere, anytime with my phone is a game-changer! You can add filters to your documents which is really useful.

Cons

If you are on the free version of CamScanner, all documents contain their logo on the scanned files, which can be an inconvenience.

### "Best free camera scanner"

February 6, 2021

4.0

CamScanner is a great tool that I am grateful to have discovered. I will continue using it as long as it's free.

Pros

I like using CamScanner when I need to send some photos of my physical documents in PDF format. The application has many useful features and is easy to use.

Cons

I don't like that many times it may take up to 1 day to send a document from CamScanner to email. I think that this issue should be investigated.

5.0

Pros

Free download, easy access and convenience for day to day use for document scanning over the phone. A smart scanning app.

### "Wonderful and useful application!"

February 17, 2021

5.0

A delightful experience!

Pros

CamScanner allows me to scan documents on my phone. It's easy to use. I just have to take pictures of my documents and it will automatically scan the documents for me. It can also convert it into a PDF. I can share it through WhatsApp to others. Scanning a document usually takes a long time, but with CamScanner, it takes less than 5 minutes depending how many pages your document is. Overall, CamScanner is a very useful application and it certainly can save so much time scanning a document!

Cons

I love this application very much and I have no complaints about it!

### "Nice scanning app"

December 22, 2021

4.0

Pros

This app is simple to use for document scanning and is convenient to have for students without a scanner to scan their assignment. It saves me much time by just taking a picture my phone to upload a PDF document.

Cons

I do not know how secure this software is, so it is best to use it safely. Also, a scanner would give a better quality than an app.

### "Great Tool for E-learning"

December 3, 2021

5.0

Pros

The best feature is the fact that all scanned images can be saved into a single PDF file. It was extremely helpful for multi-page college assignments. The available filters to make documents more legible were also very useful.

Cons

The user interface could perhaps be a bit more streamlined. It took a bit of trial and error at the beginning for me to understand how to connect different photos to the same PDF.

### "CamScanner Review"

February 26, 2021

My experience with CamScanner has been good and I will continue to use the product.

Pros

This software is so easy to use and serves a very necessary purpose in my work, scanning documents without the needs of a large printer device.

Cons

There is a required watermark on all scans unless you pay for them. I understand this, but it was my least. favorite part about the software.
