CamScanner has been one of the best applications from the moment I was in the university and I needed to submit a lot of written assignments to an online portal to the point till now when I am professionally working and I need to submit a lot of professional documents. CamScanner has really been a life saver app for me.

Pros

Scanning with the CamScanner saved me a lot of time and money. It is one of the best utility applications. The quick and easy process to just snap a picture of your documents with its built-in area that automatically detects documents and allows us to adjust the area of the box is such a helpful feature. I also liked how it can be quickly converted into any file format we like. More importantly, another best feature about this app is the file sharing to the pc after we scan the documents.

Cons

I don't think there is anything about the app I didn't like except for the watermarks as a free user. But I think it is worth it.

CamScanner helps me a lot with my documentation and saves me a lot of time. This app is highly recommended for those who are engaged in document handling, project planning etc.

Pros

This application provides more reliable documents since It makes the scanned information editable other than preparing scanned documents. The possibility of exporting the scanned document in different formats is another remarkable feature of this app. The premium version of the app allows me to extract texts and data in the scanned doc which makes my documentation very effective in my career.

Cons

It urged me to go for the paid version of the app since the free version includes much less tools than the paid version.

Such a good discovery

Reviewed on 30/12/2021

Pros

Free scanning software! If you don't have a scanner at home, office, etc this is a great solution. Can scan so easy and has the feature to convert it to a pdf or jpg.

Cons

You have to pay to get even more features like turn it into a word document which would be great and even take the watermark. The quality is a little bit bad but considering is free is understandable.

This is a great way to email customers copies of signed with ink contracts. It has never failed me and the documents always look great.

Pros

It's soooo easy to use. Keeps everything neat and where it should be. On the free version the adds aren't that bad.

Cons

Sometimes when I push it to my company's CRM, it takes a while. It could be the CRM fault.

I do not scan document without it

Reviewed on 4/10/2023

Pros

Whenever I have to submit any kind of documents be it: assignments, passport or citizenship, I always use CamScanner. It makes my document look like it was scanned and I look professional submitting it. The feature to remove shadows and the magic filter is the best and I can never go back to normally click a picture of any documents.

Cons

There is a little watermark for the free version but nothing too big to obstruct anything. Nothing too bad, the free version gets the work done.

Cons

Super easy way to scan things from anywhere.

Super easy way to scan things from anywhere.

Pros

I love how good the quality turns out and all the options to brighten the doc or leave it as is, plus editing (turn or clip the image to clean it up). I use the free version only.

Cons

Sometimes it will scan the doc and think I want it oriented the other direction - like I will be scanning normal 8 1/2 x 11 papers, and most in the batch will be upright, and even though I did not move the phone while taking photos, it will glitch and start reading them landscape instead of portrait direction. It's not a huge deal because I can turn them in the edit before I save it as a PDF.

CamScanner is a useful tool for digitizing their paper documents and making them more accessible and manageable.

Pros

CamScanner is a mobile app that provides several features to help users scan, store, and manage their documents. It allows users to digitize paper documents, receipts, business cards, and more, using their mobile device's camera. Furthermore, this app makes it possible to quickly capture information from scanned documents and transfer it to other applications or devices. Also, it allows users to convert scanned images or PDFs into editable formats like Word, Excel, or PPT.

Cons

CamScanner provides some basic text editing capabilities, it may not have the full range of editing tools that some users need. For example, users who need to make complex changes to documents may need to use a different app or software.

Overall its a simple app, with just a few functions, but all are easy to use and very handy in almost any workplace.

Pros

The best part about this software is scanning documents to transfer elsewhere. It's a simple concept, but it's ideal for remote working or someone who travels for work. It's simple, intuitive and very easy to pick up.

Cons

CamScanner really does everything pretty well, some functions (like converting to a word doc) are behind a paywall, but that reasonable and not a bad price if used regularly.

I loved using CamScanner. It allows getting a very good-quality scan file. With its integrated image adjustment tool, you can get the result you want. It is software that I recommend to test

Pros

With CamScanner, you no longer need a printer to scan a visual medium. You just need your phone. You get an impressive scanning quality. The app is simple and easy to use. Scanning becomes a breeze with CamScanner. What I like about CamScanner is that you can scan part of the visual medium. The app has a built-in image adjustment tool that allows you to crop, adjust shadows, contrast and distortion, resulting in sharp, clear, and crisp images. It is possible to save the obtained file in PDF or JPEG format

Cons

Love it's affordability, ease of use, and multi-functionality. There's a free use component in case you get the professional version, but it watermarks everything as a result. Have used it for years when doing freelance work.

Cons

My only issue that alot of times, I would have to retake photos that I wanted scanned. While it's great that the app takes into account of my angle of tkaing the photo or lighting situation, theres kind of learning curve to get the perfect scan from the photo. Wish there was end to end sharpness when taking photos of large blueprints

It helped me to easily send the needed papers of our company, because the crop and filter feature made me spend less time editing photos, unlike when I use the built in camera on my phone.

Pros

I like that it is very easy to use, from picture scanning to converting files. It provides ease to people like me who needs quality scanned documents, it easily detects your photos and crops them, but the one I like most is its Magic Color filter, because it bolds and makes text from photos more readable than they actually do.

Cons

The renaming feature can be improve. Make it per photo instead of per folder.

My overall experience with CamScanner has been wonderful in-terms of the utility and the convenience of usage.

Pros

The most I like about this software is the fact that the ease through which I could scan my required stuff and the way the unwanted part on the images captured through the app gets eliminated and how the scanning is soo well done to obtain the enhanced end product which is the final scanned product. In case of a student account or a paid subscription, there's no watermark as well on the scanned documents and the app is absolutely free for use. I really appreciate the way this product treats students!!

Cons

The least I like about this software is the fact that the shadows aren't taken well care of and I really look forward to the enhanced version of this app with the shadows well taken care and the final scanned product being more clear.
