SwiftScan is blazingly fast and incredibly easy. Hold your iPhone over any document, receipt, whiteboard or QR code to scan and save it as a PDF or JPG quickly.

I used to love this app, but lately I've been having some pretty major issues. Firstly, I couldn't connect it to my SFTP drive for direct upload to my NAS no matter what I tried. This finally started working again (although not because of any changes I made). Now, SwiftScan has decided it's going to automatically rotate the pages in a batch of files that aren't supposed to be rotated. I'm scanning in A4 portrait, it's rotating to A4 landscape but only when the PDF is being created.

2019-08-13 - Scans well, images are clear, filters are easy to use and useful. Plenty of useful functions for file management. Although I can't get the OCR to work consistently, which is the reason I wanted to use it. Seems to get stuck on "Recognising Text" and never completes. (Never is a harsh word, but I waited 3-4 hours so it's a fair assumption I feel. ) 2019-11-25 - Any word on the OCR fix? 2020-12-29 - Seems to be fixed now

Cannot recommend due to the excessive permissions requested of cloud storage. It's a shame because Scanbot is great at automatically detecting document size, filtering photos to make them more legible and reasonable OCR. However the app requests full permissions to all of my OneDrive, not just an app specific folder as is standard. This was a conscious design decision on their part and unfortunately something I can't accept.
