Always have hard time exporting documents
★★★★ Molatunji 6/15/2026 v8.12.1
Degradation of free tier
We used to want to scan photos as we wanted, but now we have to manually add each every photo. I understand doing this to new users, but not all users. I will be switching.

Double charge
I have been trying to get in contact with you guys through email. I have been charged for basic and ultra for quite some time now and I have not heard back from anyone. I don’t see how I can cancel the basic and keep the ultra as it does not give me the option. I have sent screen shots of the charges coming out of my account and screenshots of what shows as my subscription type. I have not received a response to this day.

Scans are not backed up
I used to love this app, but then I lost my phone and I lost all my scans. I realized to my chagrin that they were not stored on iCloud backup. I saw that Genius Scan sells a feature to back up your scans, but I wasn’t fully confident with the security provided by an app company like this. I would much prefer backups on iCloud. I just found another scanner app that uses iCloud for backup.
★★★★ Ok Scan (not great) 5/18/2026 v8.11
Ok Scan
The original version was better when you can continue to scan additional pages without going to an extra step of having to select add a page and then select the option you want before you can scan the next page. Bring back the old version. I would have given this 5 star if old version was still available. Also there’s always error saying camera cant be used during multi tasking when I have nothing else opened or any other apps being used

Freezing
The app freezes a lot when I’m trying to send via email and sometimes it can find the recipient and sometimes not

requires subscription, but at least they’re upfront about it
