Ratings and reviews

Genius Scan really screwed this app when they upgraded this app. The batching method is useless. Can't remove a bad scan, and add a better one. Go back to what you had before. Edit Edit Edit They did upgrade this app very well. The useless batching method is gone, and now you can erase a specific page, and retake the picture, keeping it in the same place as the original. Great for when you need to keep pages in order.

Very practical app that will easily convert your documents- just beware that options are limited as to how you can share these documents after you've taken photos of them. If you want to be able to save them to your device, you'll have to pay for the locked features- although I've been able to make due with emailing my documents to myself as a workaround.

I've used this app for years and absolutely love it. For free it has all the key features I need. It used to default to continuous scan (without having to tap any buttons between scanning pages) but now it doesn't but I have finally figured out how to enable this (just tap the upper right "multiple pages" icon). I would recommend this app to anyone needing a scanner.
