Ratings and reviews

It's quick and works as it should, but my printer isn't one they've certified for the scanner (??) and I'm guessing that's the reason the app will only scan in black & white. It warms you that some features may not be available, but doesn't specify which, and I can't seem to find anything about this online. If you just need a scanner app (that's not your phone's camera) that only scans b&w, then this works fine.

I like this a lot better than the scan app for my brother print/scanner. I am able to change the file name before saving to device. My other app doesnt allow this. The only feature i would LOVE to see added here is the option to save files as one file with multiple pages. If there is already a setting for this, i dont see it. Multiple page documents save as separate files, instead of one file with several pages so if i have a 10 page document, thats 10 attachments that are sent when emailed.

Brilliant. Other apps I tried were patchy, but this Just Works. Finds network scanners easily. Simple but detailed scan settings. I use this app instead of scanning from my computer so I don't have to walk back and forth. But it's also great when you need to use someone else's as the setup is quick. I've used it to help others when their computer just won't connect. I've even recommended it to friends with an enthusiasm that has probably left them slightly bemused, given it's just a scanner app.
