Scanner App: Genius Scan Positive Reviews

Absolutely essential to my life - unparalleled in quality.I don’t believe I’ve ever written a review on an app. I’m taking the time to write this because this app is THAT outstanding. It’s become essential to my daily life. I regularly need to scan documents in and then access them via my computer. I considered buying a more expensive scanner, but with this app, there is simply no need. If I hold my camera at the wrong angle, Genius Scan fixes it for me. It compensates for angles and bumps and misalignments and churns out an absolutely professional looking scan in seconds. It’s so accurate, it genuinely looks like it was a saved document, never having been printed and scanned. If, for some reason, my document is wonky and scans a weird edge, Genius scan lets me fix it. Over and above its perfect scans, it allows me to export…down to the very subfolder… of my Google Drive, my Microsoft OneDrive and even my Apple Files. I can email it to myself or someone else. It’s just seamless. I’m continually more and more impressed with this app and it’s saved me so much time and money, I cannot be more thankful for this app. Well done, devs, well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.AprilalisonVersion: 7.19.1

EXCELLENT!I have used a lot of different scanner apps. Most of them work but that’s about as much if you can say for them. They are not excellent, and in most cases are not even great. They are just simply functional. I went to the office of a notary to have a paper notarized and I just made an offhand comment that I was headed for a copy shop to have the documents scanned and turned into a PDF file. He answered back that he was able to do that for me. I was shocked to see him whip out his phone and snap a picture of it. I expect the results to be as bad as all of the other ones that I have used in the past and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It corrects for Keystone distortion, and it removes trace background edges around the page. Actually work better when placed on a darker background so there’s more distinction between the edge of the page and the background itself. I would like to extend a high-five to the developer of this app. You have really done and astonishingly good job. Congratulations..Robin Hood 51Version: 7.0.14

The Online Student’s SaviorI’ve been in online school since the beginning of the pandemic, and this app is a lifesaver. it doesn’t limit how many documents you scan like other apps, and its automatic scanning trick is pretty okay. just don’t but the paper on a light colored surface, or have too many other objects in the frame. my favorite part is the ability to directly upload from my phone to the desktop of my computer (since they’re linked by icloud). if that’s not your speed, you can airdrop it to your downloads folder. the back and white filter is just as good as a printer scan, and there’s an option to edit the document after you take the photo. I never needed any other part of the app, so i didn’t need premium, which is amazing. it also uploads as a pdf, which saves me all the trouble of converting it myself. compared to other scan apps, i found this one to be the most efficient, since it works well and doesn’t have any frustrating limits for free users..BlargyishVersion: 5.5.12

Works great!…most of the time.I use this app to scan documents for my university classes. Once scanned, the features within the app provide augmentations, such as leaving natural light or white light (i.e, displaying the visual differences between a photo or a “scan” of the document). I also love that if I’m scanning dozens of pages all at once, if I make a mistake on one scan, I have the option to re-do that scan rather than starting over just to ensure the documents are in order. Once satisfied, I can email the document (however large or small) and it will appear instantly in my inbox. The one issue I’ve found, is that sometimes it does not appear in my inbox until hours or even a day after I scanned my work. This can be EXTREMELY frustrating when my deadline is that evening. There’s no way to assess when these hiccups occur, since it appears to have no correlation to document size or scanning frequency. Overall, I’m thankful to have this app. It’s so much faster to use than my physical printer/scanner..The last warning.Version: 7.2.4

Mixed feelingsUpdate: After the developers responded, I took a closer look at the user manual and tried it again. The hotspot is no longer a problem (that one is a puzzle, since I didn’t do anything), file naming help was there after all, and works VERY well (using a field to insert part of the name each time). And I got authorized to give Google permissions to view and download all my files, which makes me very uncomfortable, but it makes this project work like a dream. I was thrilled with how well Genius Scan autocrops documents—would save me a lot of time! However, subscribing was a big disappointment. I expected file naming help, and got none, am finding hot spots (lighter scan) on documents no matter how I arrange lighting, and worst of all, exporting to Google Drive (which I REALLY wanted) is impossible because I refuse to give Genius Scan access and permission to download all of my files. So all in all, guess I’ll be going back to Google Scan..Grammy51Version: 7.19.1

This is the scanner app you MUST HAVEI’ve been using Genius Scan for almost 2 years now, I rarely leave a review for any app, but I feel like this one deserves to be recognized. It is very easy to use, the clarity on the scanned document is great, there’s lots of customizable scanning settings you can choose from, you can also have it automatically upload to dropbox or Google Drive, I even was able to contact the developer about a simple change to the sorting of folders within Google drive by alphabetical order and day were able to accommodate the request in their next update which was extremely helpful. If you are on the go a lot like I am and not always at your desk this app is an absolute lifesaver. Even when I am in my office I don’t even use my copy scanner anymore because it takes too long and the quality on The genius scan app is just as good if not better, and it’s much quicker. Save yourself a ton of time and start using this app today..Jtpo1982Version: 4.3.4

Excellent document scanning and editing appWhat a perfectly fitting name for an app - Genius! I’ve installed three apps by these genius app developers namely: Genius Scan; Genius Fax and Genius Sign, and I’ve found them all indeed quite genius and the best set of any other competing apps. All the apps are intelligently developed and are very easy and intuitive to use. Excellent set of apps and I’ve no negative feedback on any of them. Excellent set of apps and congratulations to the developers!! The Genius Scan is amazingly precise in automatically capturing images of documents and receipts and then perfectly orienting them vertically and automatically making the image quality the best even if you are working in even very poor lighting condition. Excellent set of tools are provided to edit, apply filters and formats. The app provides other too many features to work with the scanned images. In short, it’s an app everyone needs to have for their iPhone..GiramotVersion: 5.2

Almost perfect 4.5 starsI’d give Genius Scan 4.5 stars, if I could. I’ve been using Genius Scan for a few years and I really like it. I mostly use it to scan my kids’ artwork so that I can clear the paper clutter. More recently I’ve begun using it to scan my own childhood art which my parents have recently given me. As an app it works quite well, and I really like having it on my phone for a quick scan before something gets recycled. Some things I’d like to see improved are: better color detection in the Color filter without having to save it as a photo on the app (different filter options are None, B&W, Color, and Photo); option of pre-set crops (e.g., square, rectangle, fixed corners) along with the standard manually-determined crop; ability to add notes to a scanned document. The ability to add notes is particularly important to me, as I would like to add personal notes about the document, rather than put it all in the document title..SoggyInSeattleVersion: 7.7

5+ years... Only Scanning App I've Ever UsedI've had this app since the iPhone 5s was released around 2013; since then every phone I've owned has had it installed. The fact that I've never had a need for or desire to explore another scanning app is the greatest aspect about it. I primarily use the *free version for PDF scans [from 1page thru 17 pages before]. The MAGIC feature which automatically scans for... detects, crops, then enahances is great. Provided you heed the tips the app provides to achieve best results. For the average college student, employee, grad student, etc... That only needs to scan something occasionally, wants it to be easy/quick/shareable and reliable... I'd definitely recommend this scanning app. *Since I've never needed to utilize the functions of the paid version, I can't attest to those aspects of the app. But if your at the point of paying for a scanning app. You probably aren't reading this! 🤙🏼😂*.B_adcockVersion: 5.0.6

Hard to ReadWriting on the PDFs appear as a bunch of illegible dots unless the text you are scanning is very bold and you have the proper lighting. Although other than this the app works well enough, it has caused me much frustration from often having to go over all of my writing pressing harder down on the paper, only to find that it still doesn’t work. I also find myself having to scan again because it renders my work sideways, or fails to cut out the background. Also, while you are in the process of scanning, you can’t undo a single page. You either have to keep it or delete all of the scanned pages. I suppose you could always just keep redoing each page until you get it right, and go through them at the end, deleting all but those that you’re satisfied with, but with the amount of attempts that would take and the amount of pages you’ll have to go through and delete in the end, this would be a time consuming process, and you’re probably better off just getting a different app..Kittycat843Version: 5.5.11

Worth the subscriptionI have used Genius scan for years and LOVE it. It has been free and I have recommended it to countless people. It auto exports to Dropbox, syncs across my devices and is generally amazing. I scan everything because I tend to lose paper easily. This morning I went to look for something and the new subscription model/fee popped up. All that wonderful functionality I took for granted is now $30 per year. Of course, I would rather it remained free, but I think it is the first app I have not bitterly resented for changing to subscription. I use it literally every day to scan mail (and then throw it out), scan forms or documents I have to sign and send back, scan recipes, etc. It works beautifully and is worth the cost. It’s one of the very few apps I would still recommend and say it’s absolutely worth the cost for the functionality..KpSeattleVersion: 7.5

One of my most used appsI literally have written maybe 2 reviews in my life but this app truly deserves one! I have had this app since nursing school for about 9 years now. I girl that sat in front of me in class suggested it to me and here we are! I use this app almost everyday for all types of miscellaneous paperwork that i need put into a digital file. It’s super easy to use, images come out very clear, and they stay saved in the app until you delete them. for me it’s perfect if i need to resend paperwork or need to reference something that i had scanned in the past. It was extremely useful when purchasing my first home (during covid) and everything was done via email and uploading docs to bank and mortgage sites. I’ve used it to save copies of receipts or drivers license photos, and it’s all there ready to be sent when i need it. I’ve told everyone i know to download this..JaymoLOVESpsVersion: 6.0.2

Love it. Would upgrade for $3. Not for $8I love the app. Used it and recommended it since 2013 I’m the free version. Since a week or two ago the “hidden” Save-to-Dropbox functionality was gone from the free version. Fair enough BUT, a) It happened In the background, not through an upgrade, sonI del cheated. B) I would happily upgrade just for that function; I do not need anything else but not for $7.99. I would happily pay a couple of bucks, not so much c) i considered the cloud option but again, totally out of price. I already pay Dropbox and Apple cloud, plus iDrice cloud for backups. $3 a month for just a small subset of documents? Guys, that should be the annual cost, not monthly. It seems you are trying to skin off a few paying clients instead of broadening your base and making us loyal. Sadly, After 5 years of happy customer and promoter, I will start to look around for other options. That costs you way more than the extra dollars you are trying to charge..FreddyLazzarisVersion: 4.4.8

Deleting this nowI have had, been using and even recommended this app for years now. It was great for all my paperwork to simply scan and send, keep, etc. I could use it with the genius fax app after paying for a few pages so easily. I went on today to print out a few pages I had scanned in last week to be informed now, after all this time, pay up. There is absolutely no version of this you can use without having to pay for it. Also, if I’m reading this correctly, if I don’t pay for this app, all of my documents will be deleted from their servers. I get wanting to earn a little of a great app. Maybe add more features that can be used for an up-charge, but to suddenly inform longtime users that they need to pay for it all, well I doubt I won’t be the only one to leave. I’m just moving on..DZcutiepieVersion: 7.0.5

Easy to use, and so useful!I’ve been using Genius Scan for several years to quickly scan documents and file them away on Dropbox or OneDrive. I know those services have their own apps that do document scanning, but they’re clunkier and don’t have the breadth of features that Genius Scan does. It’s one app that makes quick work of scanning, cropping and adjusting, and filing away as a PDF or JPEG. But don’t take my word for it - take the word of my dad, who is 81 years old and regularly complains about technology being hard to use. He wanted to scan in a paper form and get it to his computer, so I texted him a link to Genius Scan along with an offer to call and walk him through it. He didn’t call me but a little while later emailed to say: “I made the PDFs with my phone and emailed it to my computer and printed out copies. The app worked great.” Now that’s high praise!.KennyStevenVersion: 5.4.6

Perfect Scanner!The best there is! This app has allowed me to conquer my administrative demons that had me invariably fumbling, misplacing, and losing critical and irreplaceable documents. I’ve tried and bought at least a dozen other premium scanner apps and this app (Genius Scan) blows them all away. Every size and shape document along with it’s detailed data is precisely copied into a PDF and/or text formatted file along with various filters, editing and manipulation options to generate a perfectly replicated document. With it’s quick and easy “save” and “file” features (including available auto-export rules to my phone and/or to a cloud and additional tags), this app has made being organized, efficient, and prepared second nature, as EVERY essential document I come across quickly and easily becomes part of my permanent electronic records..MchircoVersion: 7.0.3

Very Pleased!July 3, 2024: I was a former Evernote Scannable app user who was looking for an alternative after Scannable started forcing its user to create an account and/or pay for their scanning service. Disappointed with the change, I kept an eye out for alternatives for a while. I wanted a scanning app that can scan quickly, cleanly, and save it as a JPG or PDF. Someone on Reddit recommended Genius Scan. I tried out the app and did a test scan, and it was perfect for what I needed! The scanning feature is free, and their additional premium features/services seems like a reasonable price model. I hope Genius Scan will continue to keep their business model where scanning will always be a free feature. Thank you for your app! It’s a life saver when trying to send digital copies of documents or trying to archive important things..SouliviumVersion: 7.19.1

Great app!This is a great little app. I had it on my phone for little incidentals for which I'd used it here and there over the years. Usually for when I needed to sign and scan a document to send. Then I started a project of scanning 20 years worth of hand written journals. I researched scanners, I went to the local library to use their high powered book scanner, I evaluated renting one, finally I tried genius scan to scan the journals with my phone and the more I used it the more features I found and the more I liked it. It has an awesome crop feature that actually helps even out the bump from the binding, it does colored scans or black and white, and I can export the scans directly to a specific folder on my Google drive, with the file name of my choosing. It's a great little app that is way more powerful than it at first seems..HDH-J mamaVersion: 5.5.3

Saves time, looks professionalI fall back on genius scan to help me with my job, my personal obligations, and too help with record keeping for my elderly parents. It was crucial during Covid and Zoom, but it also makes my everyday work more manageable. I turn in timesheets and attendance records with genius scan on a weekly basis. My Home Hospital students in grades K-12 easily submit finished work and test answers when needed. When enrolling a new student I have their parents download the app so I can be sure I will be able to read what they submit to me. I’ve used Genius Fax to fax time-sensitive documents that I have scanned and I have emailed multiple files from Genius Scan. Being able to sharpen the images and rearrange the documents makes my faxes look professional in all situations and it couldn’t be easier!.4freedlmVersion: 6.1.11

So reliable !This is my first ever review of an app! I felt inclined to do so because of how many times this app has saved my rear! Having things like your kids shot records and auto ins cards on my phone is a life saver. Being able to scan a doc on the fly and send immediately without any bugs or glitches is so refreshing! I have been using this app for many years (3 different iPhones) and have NEVER had a problem or glitch. I like the filing system , the auto enhancement of papers docs (choose between black n white, color or the raw pic) and the simplicity of the use (not hard to figure out at all!). Last but not least, the developer updates and fixes glitches regularly which is nice. Many apps come out and then the developer stops maintaining it after a while. Not Genius Scan. Thanks for my go to scan/file/fax app!.NuclearnikVersion: 6.0.1

DagNabbitRabbit🐰 Sprint iPhone 5This is a perfect scanning machine!! It really is quite amazing how utilizing the same camera mechanism incorporated within your cell phone, albeit with a more precise set of programming terms, one may exponderate a fan flumming tas~tick Pix!!

I take my hat off and salute ….Where can you find more hype and false promises than the internet? They even invented a word for it: “clickbait”. But every now and then you encounter a product and service that lives up to its promise, that simply does what they say it will do, and does it even better than your expected. I love Genius Scan and Genius Cloud. They work. They simplify many tasks for me. They are easy to use and never fail. I feel like I should pay every time I use them (shhhh!). If you don’t have it—get it. Stop faxing or whatever you do to transmit documents. Shoot it, turn it into a PDF, and email it in one, fast, connected application. And have permanent cloud storage of the documents to boot, along with a record of what you did with them. How do you beat that?.RmaddowVersion: 6.1.11

Basic and BeautifulIm not techy and I dont need to scan to perfection BUT THIS GENIUS APP has made my life so much easier! I can scan multiple pages (Up to 8-10 at a time for what I need it for), email them to myself and download onto my laptop. It finds my page edges easily (it might take a second depending on how flat the pages are) and I have time to flip pages and get situated before focusing on the next scan. I have had the app for a year and have never had issues with it…like none that I care about. If I scan a book page there is some curving but I literally don’t care - not an issue. I have the Basic and FREE version and “to get the elephant out of the room” according to Genius Scan, what I have will never change. Fine with me. Thanks for being so Genius!.MLS1133Version: 7.17.1

Great quality but too much locked behind paywallThe ease and quality of all the different scan types is top notch. My review has nothing to do with the simple and fantastic use of the app. That being said, almost everything, including nearly every way to export the files you scan is only available after dropping nearly $10. I understand locking certain features behind a pay wall but not the simple ability to export your files. I don’t use Apple Mail (I happen to have an iPhone for work but everything else I use is android/PC) so literally the only other option available is using WiFi sharing to export. Problem is, half the links are broken when you try to download on your PC. So I can get some of my docs but not all, making all those HQ scans all but useless. Give me the ability to export and this is easily a 5-star app..NonAppleUserVersion: 6.0.1

A GENIUS idea! 😉I would recommend this app. This is a great scanner. Really helps me with my homework and assignments! The only downside of this app is when you scan a paper, you get only a few seconds to press edit. Sometimes, I need a few seconds before I press the edit button. I can still edit it after, but it is harder. My suggestion, is make the edit button available right away after the scan, and let people edit whenever they need to, then they can continue when they need to do so. This app really is a great thing during our COVID-19 outbreak. I, for one, think this is a great way to send my teachers my work. My whole grade loves it!! We were taking pictures of our work, but it got too blurry. That is when we resulted in using Genius Scan. A thank you comes from me and my peers..Cookiegirl222Version: 5.4.6

WFH or in office magicI’m a math teacher and I’ve been using genius scan for ages. I love how simple it is to use. Today I made an answer key and simply took a picture of the key with my phone. This app will turn it into a pdf which I can upload to my Canvas classroom where my online students can access it. The old-fashioned hardware scanner is not needed. Our college had a few scanners but you had to walk several buildings over in the cold and the rain or whatever, bring your badge, sign in, plug in your usb stick, set up the scan do the scan and walk back. It was a whole production that took loads of time. This app takes me like two minutes max to do the whole thing and in never have to brave the elements. Now that it’s wfh, I don’t have to leave my couch/bed/desk. Thanks To these fantastic developers!! ❤️.MathChickletVersion: 5.5.8

Just the solution I was looking forGenius scan is exactly the app I was looking for. I mainly wanted to be able to quickly scan receipts and upload them to my Google drive, and Genius Scan does that simply and elegantly plus a whole lot more. I was pleasantly surprised by the powerful yet intuitive user interface. Poking my way through the options for automating the Google Drive uploads was super simple. I can tell that the developer listens to user feedback because this app is an end users dream come true. It took just a few minutes to set up my process and now in just seconds I can snap a picture of a receipt, or multiple receipts, tag them with metadata tags to make them easy to find in the future, upload them to my receipts folder on Google Drive, and / or email them. The automatic OCR option seems like a cherry on top of this sweet treat, but it did have trouble recognizing some of the receipts. It may just be those particular receipts but it seemed to me that they were clear enough that it should have worked. Hopefully the OCR will improve in time. Thank you to the developer for making such a terrific product that is affordable and delightfully easy to use..CummdaviVersion: 6.0.2

Genius scan ph appThis is a GREAT app. It is best with older folks who have a hard time maneuvering the cell ph camera and taking quality scans due to vision and dexterity issues. Simply hold the camera over the target document hold still...and it snaps the scan for you while giving you time to position the next document. It can’t get simpler than that. Once you snap the first scan? Simply aim the camera elsewhere while you position your next document. I’ve scanned over 30 pages at a time without any complications. It also stores my docs INDEFINITELY for future use! If there’s anything difficult (I can’t find it) but making sure the app is connected to your email is pretty important, and you may want to bribe a teenager to help you..Dan849Version: 7.2.4

Love this app!I had used a desktop scanner for years. The scanner cost $400 and was a pain to use. When the company who manufactured it stopped upgrading the software, I found myself in a quandary as ai had upgraded my iMac’s OS and now could I longer use my expensive scanner. So I went to try this $7 app and I am thrilled. Not only does it work well, it saves me time because now I scan my receipts as I go instead of letting them pile up on my desk. And because I’m sending them to a cloud drive, my bookkeeper has access to them faster too. The software provides great options for scanning, hanging up pages, as well as tools to enhance the image. And finally, customer service is fast and courteous. In my opinion you’d have to be an idiot not to use genius scan!.BodyBasicsVersion: 5.0.11

Good and badI like the auto detect feature. Makes clean scans easily. I like that you can create templates for naming scans. There used to be a feature where after searching for similarly named scans you could do a bulk export to my camera roll. For some reason this has been taken away. This is a huge loss in my book. I scan receipts to keep track of my Airbnb expenses, work trips, church expenses, personal expenses, family expenses, etc. Needless to say I use a lot of different names for my scans. Come tax time I want to export all my Airbnb expenses. I can search for them and see all the receipts for those expenses for the year. But now if I want to export them to my camera roll I have to do it one by one. I use to be able to select them all and hit “export”. Thus I’ve deducted 2 stars. Otherwise it use to be a 5 star app. What gives guys? Seriously considering switching apps..AirjockeyVersion: 7.2.3

UpdateHello! I love genius scan, butbte last update added some things that make it hard for me to use. When I open a folder, and just want to email 1 page, or a selected amount, it ends up trying to send the entire folder. I used to be able to enlarge or simply send the page that was open, now I have to actually check the chosen page to send from a reduced sized picture of all Pages in the folder. And I can’t figure out how to enlarge them simply email that to make sure I have chosen the correct page. I liked the earlier version better where I could open a file and simply click in the page and it would enlarge and I could email it. I live genius sac but I can’t figure out how to make it work like it used to!! Thank you.I do not care.Version: 5.0.6

Great for on the goI go from site to site for work, and fairly often need to scan/submit paper forms at buildings without access to convenient web connected scanning. This app is an absolute lifesaver! Snapping pictures is easy, and with the straightforward editing tools, your documents come out looking great- even better than most copier machines will give you. A few examples of what editing tools are available: -color: you can choose between black and white and color, depending on the look you were going for. -cropping: easily adjust all four corners to directly line up with the edges of your paper documents. -angle: once you are finished, cropping, the app automatically adjust the angle to make sure the document is aligned head on. -easy to delete and add/retake documents for longer copy jobs. And of course, super simple to email and save documents to various cloud sites- Google drive etc. I can’t remember if I had to pay a small fee for this app, but I would pay it again in a heartbeat. If you need easy access to a copier that can submit professional quality forms no matter where you are, get this app!.Thompk15Version: 7.1.1

An essential tool for remote classesI usually don’t write reviews, but this app has saved me so much headache that I feel like I have a duty to my fellow students to promote it in any way I can. I honestly don’t know how I didn’t discover this app when the pandemic first switched all my classes online, because this is the BEST FREE scanner app I’ve tried so far. Genius has all the features that previous free scanner apps I’ve tried lacked and more. 1. First and most importantly, I don’t have to pay to scan my pages all together into one document. I can immediately upload my 2 or 3 page or however long homework immediately to canvas in a batch. No more sending scanned images to my laptop first, compiling them all together through file explorer’s print feature, and then submitting it. Other scanner apps also allow you to scan in batches, but this app allows you to do it for free. <3 2. I can add/delete pages to a document later. 3. I can rename my documents. 4. The user interface is friendly and easy to use. And more. TL;DR: If you’re not looking to spend money on a scanner app but need one with a comprehensive set of features, this is the app for you..NesscyVersion: 5.5.13

The new update is horribleThe free version WAS FANTASTIC , five stars! But this new update brought it down to two stars— literally ruined it. It doesn’t auto-crop well anymore. It cuts off the edges of receipts so the first two or last two characters on that line are missed. On some letter-sized documents it can’t seem to find the outside edge of the paper as effectively as it used to, even on a dark countertop, and if there’s a rectangular border printed on the page it’ll decide that area is the entire page and crop everything else out. In the settings there’s no option for higher or lower resolution anymore. There are times when something is so good it should not be improved. This was one of them, sadly, and now I definitely wouldn’t want to pay for the enhanced version because so many features don’t work efficiently..Update when DOWNVersion: 7.17.4

Generally great other than auto captureThe app is generally pretty great but I really wish there was a way to disable the auto capture feature. It can work ok, but often it cannot properly glean the edges and becomes very fiddly and frustrating. As well it is anxiety inducing when trying to position with a countdown timer and no control over the capture in a context where the papers are very important to get right. Generally I find it is better to use the native camera and then import the pictures into a new document in the app. I feel like it used to be possible in an older version to disable the stressful auto-capture feature but it is either really hard to find or simply doesn't exist. It's too bad but at least there is a workaround..Jason Gurtz-CatylaVersion: 7.20.3

Amazing Scanner app!It is the first scanner app where not only could I add multiple pdf files into one, but also add images from my phone to then convert into one single pdf file. Other scanner apps supposedly are able to do the same but they charge extra for those features. Just for curiosity I actually bought the feature of combing multiple pdf files into one for one of those Scanner Apps, and it failed big time, so it is very generous for this app to provide that feature for free. Finally, the quality of the scans are great, they do appear clearer once you take them than when they’re sent out but it is possible that maybe I’m just not placing my documents correctly as the picture is being taken..D_egooVersion: 5.5.3

Used for years, basically flawlessI have used Genius Scan since it first came out and yes, am only now writing a review. I’m pleased to report after many years of use this is a reliable app with sensible updates and revisions from the devs. It provides easy and intuitive document scanning, including full colour and black and white options. It reduces background noise for a crisp copy. It allows easy export to other apps like good notes for easy iCloud sync. And also has rename and file storage options right in the app. I use it for all my digital document management needs and it has performed amazingly through the years. I can’t recommend this app highly enough..CproteusVersion: 7.8

Like Genius scan ButUpdate: I went to the App Store to see if there was an update. At that time there was not. I wrote the following and rated it 3 stars. I went back to the store and there was an update that came up. I updated and now the email works. But the help still is lacking. I'm raising my rating to 4 now. I've been using Genius scan for about a year. It's been great scanning and emailing my receipts for my expenses. But in the last couple of days I have emailed a receipt several time but they are not received in either of my emails accounts. Have tried different things that I could find in the app which isn't much. I hope i figure out what the issue is because I like this app. I'm give this 3 stars due to the lack of help options..Jcrides01Version: 7.20.3

Use it for years!!It does exactly what it says it will do, and does it well. No crap, no annoying ads, it’s just easy to use, simple, connects with all the storage things I need it to connect with , and is overall an excellent app. I never rate apps. But these people really do a good job and they deserve recognition for that. and they work on it and they improve it but they don’t keep changing it and make it different over and over and over again to the point where you don’t recognize it anymore, they just make it work a little bit better. I think I’ve used it for over five years but I can’t be positive about that. Consistent and reliable. It’s exactly what I need..H4ppyOrM4dVersion: 7.0.7

Awesome app- almost perfectWe use this to upload receipts for our business. It is perfect in almost every way, it auto crops when it takes a photo (scan) and adjusts colors automatically to make the text more clear. It also auto exports to many cloud services. My only issue is there is no rule as to auto export the size. If you manually export you can change the size of the .pdf (small, medium, large and original) but it seems to automatically export only the original size with not option to change it. I did purchase the $7.99 upgrade for both my wife and I because this app is 99.9% perfect for us! Still 5 star in my book as this app is awesome!.Jjyoung86Version: 6.1.6

Top 5 apps in my workflowGeniusScan is totally indispensable in my workflow – it is sensible, efficient, and does just what it says it will do, and does it very well. I have been a user for over five years, and wouldn’t want to live without it! I work in real estate and am constantly working with documents on the go, and the ability to scan a document on a client site and email it to them on the spot is awesome. Thank you for all the good work! In the latest version, the ability to tag notes as they export to Evernote is gone / this is a pretty important step-saver for me - any chance that will come back? Otherwise I need to remember to go to Evernote right away, find the note, and tag it..LholleranVersion: 6.1.5

Great AppI honestly use this app to scan everything and have been for years. You can read the documents extremely clearly and it even has text recognition. I legit recommend it for anyone who regularly needs PDFs because you can export your pictures as PDFs directly from the app. I’d recommend for black and white copies though. The only issue I have is the color recognition isn’t that great. It also doesn’t recognize highlights. If you’re highlight is yellow it just makes the words yellow in the page. HOWEVER, if it’s doing pictures the quality is pretty decent again. It’s a weird kind of issue but doesn’t deter from the fact that it is the absolute best scanning app on the App Store, and yes, I have tried them..Slightly123Version: 5.2.2

New version made app worseI absolutely loved this app. Was one of my most favorite and used apps. The new version totally change things for the worse. You used to be able to scroll through your documents. Now you have to look at tiny little icons that I can’t even see to select the document. You also were able to email a document immediately after scanning, now you have to go back to the list of documents and select it, which adds an extra unnecessary step. If you try to email something after scanning it will email every other document in that folder which makes no sense. Remember, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it..OfnanVersion: 5.0.6

The BEST Scan App in The StoreThis is an indispensable app & one that I probably use more than any other because it lets you save the document as a PDF, giving more flexibility to what you can later do with it. I also like the edit & filter capabilities & it is particularly useful for doing large documents that are too big to fit on my home scanner. And obviously you can’t. beat the price…whether the free one or the premium one. I just love this app and could not imagine my life without it. Updated 2-9-23: I continue to feel the same way about this product and recommend it all the time to friends and associates. I can’t imagine not having Genius Scan in my life🥰💕.DJ White077Version: 7.2.4

Amazing and amazingly powerful.This is an amazingly powerful and extremely useful app. You can scan a document from pretty much any angle and it will automatically sense the edges and square it up so it looks like you are facing it straight on and scanned it from a flatbed scanner. It works amazing for just about any type of archiving that you would need to perform. Also provides good high-quality snaps of photos that you like to save. There is also a companion app called Genius Fax, which allows you to send faxes from your phone without having to have a fax number. Again this app is one of the highest quality that I have found in its class. I highly recommend it..JcmarkhusVersion: 6.1.10

Has made working from easier!!I use this ap EVERYDAY!! Since being sent home to work, it was difficult to convert pictures and other documents to PDF. I was constantly relying on others at my clinics to help me out on top of their added responsibilities due to COVID-19. I felt horrible about it. But once I discovered Genius Scan, I am able to convert texted pictures to PDFs, scan in printed documents and email them all to my computer! Even now that I’m able to visit patients and clinics, I still use it because it’s easier than using the scanners at the clinics!! Thank you for making this past year a lot more simple during a very complicated situation!!.Mandi RWVersion: 6.0.2

Best scanner app on the App Store.In high school, many of my teachers required that written work be submitted online, requiring us to go to the library outside of class time. Additionally, when I was apply to scholarships and colleges my senior year, I had a plethora of papers, forms, and applications, all of which had to be somehow scanned at turned it online. Before I downloaded genius scan, I was wasting ample time and effort. After downloading it, however, work became much more convenient and much less frustrating. I am now in college, and this app still works perfectly. I highly recommend genius scan to anyone who is currently on the market for a scanner app. If you like free and functional, this app is for you..Aj27432Version: 5.4.3

Genius appThis has saved me time so many times! I’m on the go a lot and have needed to send documents while I’m in my car, Genius app has come through. Also saving not only important documents but I also used it to scan business cards, notes scribbled on paper, recipes and even images on tv or computer screens for references. I love that it saves automatically, that many times I have deleted documents from my computer files but then needed them later and was able to find it on their cloud storage. Also the digital signature option is clutch! Highly recommend this app especially if you are always on the go..ChicoslimVersion: 7.20.5

Awesome appLove the app, great work. Paid for it after using it for many years even though the free app was all I needed. Only suggestion is to unify Genius Scan and Genius sign into one. Annoying to have to use two apps for the same basic purpose. Give it some thought! Thanks and keep up the great grizzly work..BrightyoftheGrandCanyonVersion: 6.0.2

Scanner App: Genius Scan Negative Reviews

Worst Scans Compared to Other AppsThis scanner app has the worst quality scans of all the PDF apps I’ve tried. In terms of usage, I did get used to the interface, and actually like what it offers like auto-suggesting of names (hence the 2 stars), however, the lack of quality compared to others is just too far to keep using it. I purchased the app to get some pro features, but I wish I didn’t as I am now using other apps. 1) Scans are too light 2) Lines are not clean, and always jagged 3) Low light scans are horrible 4) No type of editing in-app, whether it’s light/dark/bright or erase, etc. 5) While I like the auto-suggest, it always inserts dates at the beginning and kind of useless for me since I always put dates at the end of my file. I recommend using Adobe Scan as it’s the best I’ve seen in terms of quality. You lose the auto-upload, but I think it’s okay if you don’t do a huge number of scans..LwabbitVersion: 6.0.2

UselessThis app is garbage. No point of downloading this app. It’s actually better to take a picture on your phone. I have no clue what the developer was thinking or hoped to accomplish with this pointless app..MkfarahVersion: 5.2

Can’t exportI am just using the free portion to take pictures then export to email but the app now is not exporting the documents to my email. I have closed app sent it multiple times and closed the emails on lap top and devices and checked spam but nothing from this app. Is annoying that app like this hold you hostage. Why have a free download only to force money out of people’s pocket.Click173Version: 5.5.13

Product [was] great. Now it’s glitchy.Product was useful and easy. I would have been happy to pay some $20-30 to buy it to use on 2 devices. $49 per year is too much. Not anymore. Once I create a file it doesn’t want to return to the page listing all my files. Strange. Now I am exporting the files to google and if this glitchiness continues will use something else. Too bad. Was great. Now the service is missing to answer questions..ArtemuszVersion: 8.0.1
