Ratings and reviews

Great functionality, even in the free version. The crop and filter tools are easy and powerful, allowing for crisp, readable documents. Extremely useful. UPDATE: 5 yrs. later, the Pro version is still my go-to scanning app. It is even easier than most hardware/PC scanners. The only thing I see that is not 5 stars is the OCR capability. I still find I need to do more editing here than in some other apps.

Recently downloaded the app for basic scanning functions to share some documents. Though new and unfamiliar, the very user-friendly interface allowed me to easily navigate the app and hone in on what I needed within its numerous array of functuons; eventually settled on the 'Magic Pro' effect which really cleared and aligned my scanned items quite nicely. Very satisfied thus far, and looking forward to further exploring the app to help with up-coming projects!

This is hands down the BEST "turn your phone into a scanner" app on the market! They have been around for years now, and it's been nice to see that they have been steadily adding features and making improvements over the years. I just saw that they implemented a tagging system, and changed the UI a bit, so Cam Scanner can actually serve as a document repository on your phone. They even clean and straighten the scanned document for you, in case you have shaky hands. It's also super affordable.
