vergognosa
i doesnt let me unsuscribe
2 years ago this app was brilliant. Now it only wants to force subscription's down ur throat, and it has become useless. Can't even create multiple pages without having to pay them a new Rolls-Royce. Only solution is to install an earlier version manually, WHEN THE APP WAS ACTUALLY GREAT.
After some time, app becomes unusable - requires purchase. Update: if you want to avoid these kind of negative ratings, just put a price on install button and I guarantee that no one will give less stars than the app deserves. This rating is just for deceiving people to install something that can not be used, unless paid.
it's a scam after rebranding. Could not restore paid iap.
Worst app ever. Bloatware, it saves Ads and consumes gigabytes on the phone. The scanning is mediocre, use Google drive for scans, faster, no ads, cleaner output. Never again tiny scanner!
have to pay
subscription to use what is essentially a camera app? No thanks
Was great until it stopped working. Won't recognize that I paid subscription in April... Won't let me sign back in... All of my files are now gone... It is crunch time at my school... Could not have happened at worst time...
Terrible. Has gotten a lot worse after "updates".
no longer free
Horrible app. they say they have a free trial but when I was looking to cancel the subsription under manage subscription the app forwarded me to Google Play's subscriptions page where no subscriptions were to be seen. So I figured no money will be charged, but Surprise....after two days they charge me the full subscription fee, which BTW is deffinetly not worth the price for features you can use for free on the internet. So Advice for others: Just don't bother with the app in the first place
I had this app for several years. it was a fantastic app. HOWEVER, I would never recommend it now to anyone, nor should you download it . I have just discovered that hundreds of documents have vanished from the app. Hundreds. Recent docs and older docs. I am absolutely gutted as I am a small business owner, and I paid for the app in good faith. Now, hundreds of scans are gone, and I have no trace. The previous app had no issues, and I thought the new version would be the same. Not so.
Use Google drive instead. I hadn't used this app in a while, then today I scanned about 20 documents, selected all to share, and was not allowed. apparently a 3 document limit was put on shares, not 3 shares mind you, 3 documents. I only figured this out after scanning many documents. And this was on top of having to watch ads. So i am deleting this app. I just went to Google drive, scanned what I needed, at a faster speed too, and it auto saved to my Google account, making it easy to share.
They added some AI slop to this thing and *shockingly* all of the results are absolute garbage. This used to be my go-to for quick scans, but the slopification rolls on... Goodbye. edit: no, I won't provide any more training data. It seems you already know what the issue is. Adding any kind of ai is a marker of extreme stupidity and greed.
This app used to be so simple and amazing not its way too over complicated. I just want to scan a document please.
Requires signin AND payment
Used to have a bunch of free options and now it's all about the subscription.
I used this app for years but just deleted it. I used to be able to email all my documents to myself, but that has now been limited to only 3 documents before you have to pay them. I clicked "email myself" then exited out without actually sending the email, and it still used up one of my free shares despite not actually doing anything.
Unreasonable subscription charges
deducted money from my account before giving me a warning. they make the app hard to cancel your subscription. be careful when using the the App
I used to use this app often, but you are no longer able to export scanned documents easily without paying for a subscription. No longer a useful app.
the name should be tinySCAM! 10 euro a week whitout registration, be aware!!!
I used the app for years and it was fine. But now the scanning of multiple pages is something you need to pay for. What is the point of the app anymore. Might as well use standard camera apps.
Out of the blue, I now have to pay to access features after years of scanned documents. Basically held hostage. Not cool.
Good!
This was good, but now I can't see my folders and previous documents. The home screen's completely blank. But if I search for the documents I can find them. something with the UI
