User Reviews for Scan Hero: PDF Scanner

Happy user

The app worked perfectly for an important document I was taking care of for my husband. Easy interface and capable of many mailing options including printing. I had 9 pages to scan, our printer wasn’t scanning so this was a great substitute. It only took a few minutes to do scan and send. As for subscriptions: READ people! Take responsibility for your decision- you really think this type of app is free to develop and keep up to date. I’m not a geek but I’m aware that I need to read about what they offer and their terms and all the information was there about the free use for 3 days and I had 3 days to cancel, and they were great about telling me where I needed to go to cancel. It was right up front.

You can take pictures with your phone just as easily

I got the app in order to take pictures of documents (of course) for enrollment for my benefits at work. I’ve used a docuscan through the Dropbox app and fell in love with the scanner. Unfortunately I can’t use the Dropbox to email docs from my phone so I searched for an app that I can just save documents to my phone. I was disappointed when realizing these apps require paid subscriptions but I downloaded this one anyway. I couldn’t believe the lack of quality for this app despite the requirement to pay a subscription for it. The document sensor is off and clips non document backgrounds and the quality of the image is lack luster. I was just as well off taking pictures of my documents with my camera phone with no app and sending them. Very unprofessional looking, I hope my HR department even accepts them.

Can’t email?

App keeps telling me that I need to set up an email to send scans but does not give any place (that I could find) to set up an email address??? I need these files emailed to me so what am I supposed to do?Update: you need to go into your phone and actually change your settings for your whole phone which I personally think is not something I want to do. There’s a reason I didn’t have an email address connected to my phone. Also the app should have those instructions somewhere instead of leaving the user hanging. Just saying “you need to set up and email address” does nothing to help me. Especially since most functioning apps allow you to set up an email address within them. I think it’s poorly designed but whatever.

Better apps out there

I downloaded this app to scan 12”x18” documents for work. It helped me get the job done, so for that: 2 stars. However, the UI is not super friendly, there were some glitches when I tried to upload photos to my library, and the app processes photos with a high contrast filter. My documents were white and I took the photos on a black table as recommended. Still, the resolution came out not great. Why anyone would pay $40/year for a subscription is beyond me. I originally signed up for the 3-day free trial (which automatically enrolls into a year subscription if you don’t end it within 48 hours of downloading the app!!) It took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to end the subscription in my iTunes account. This could be a problem with iTunes itself, so I won’t blame Scanner. Anyways, would not recommend!

Charged $43 for free trial that I cancelled BEFORE free trial ended.

I am very disappointed with the developers of this app. I temporarily needed this app to scan some paperwork for school, so upon opening the apps, after it gave subscription options, I chose the 3-day FREE trial. After I scanned the documents that I needed to scan, I promptly went into my App Store profile and went ahead and cancelled my subscription to be sure I didn’t get charged once the free-trial ended. All was well. A couple of hours later, I checked my bank account and noticed that my there was an apple store transaction for $43... mind you that it was a 3-day FREE trial and I was charged for a 1-year subscription to the app within hours. I never authorized this purchase and never provided and password, fingerprint or anything to verify or authorize the purchase. Overall, the app itself is fine, but because of this “scam” I would not suggest this app to anyone, nor will I ever purchase it again. I am not one to write reviews, but I am very upset and disappointed with this situation.

You Scammed Me

I looked into this app knowing that it was free and because I need this for a school project. The first thing this app asked me was a subscription with a free trial followed by monthly payments. Knowing that I can unsubscribe anytime, I subscribed to the app only to find out that the app didn’t suit my needs. I immediately uninstalled the app from my phone and went to the App Store to remove the subscription. Somehow, this app still had access to my account and took money from me, which I was notified of today because I didn’t have enough money in my account. This is not ethical, and I want to get my money back. As proof, I can send the photo of my downloads. This app was downloaded on May 1, 2018 and deleted May 1, 2018. Please address this concern. Thank you.EDIT: To whom it may concern, I did go to the App Store and remove my subscription. I don’t understand how it my removal did not work. Again, I downloaded the app and found out it doesn’t work well on my phone. I then deleted the app from my phone and went to the App Store. I made sure that I removed my subscription the day I registered for the subscription. Somehow my cancellation did not work. I know how to unsubscribe from apps from previous experiences on my personal device and other devices. I just don’t understand how the I couldn’t unsubscribe this one time. Thanks for your response.

Buggy and Infuriating but Works If You Have No Other Choice

I do not recommend this app to anyone trying to get something done quickly, easily, and/or effectively. It’s full of bugs, crashes often, takes forever to apply edits and randomly reverts images back to their original form, and won’t let you send anything to yourself unless you buy their premium subscription which is ridiculously overpriced and used to be free. Even after you break down and buy the subscription because you have no time to do anything else, it takes two or three app restarts to get it to recognize that you’re a premium member and let you send anything. This app is a recipe for frustration and again I do not recommend it, but if you have no other way to get something scanned, I will admit that it EVENTUALLY produced a legitimate copy of a document I needed and so will probably do the same for you. Or you could just go find a different app that works correctly.

Like being relentlessly bombarded by ads?

I couldn't make a single move with this app without being dragged to the App Store and having some random app thrown in my face. I've never had to fight through so much crap to execute a simple function before. You hold it above a document and once it's got it in focus, it automatically takes the picture and cues itself for the next page, and this function seemed to work very well, actually. Then, I selected three of the six pages (the limit of the free version of the app) of the document to email to myself. What arrived was the first page, followed by some blankness which it called "pages 2 and 3". So, the violent onslaught of ads, combined with its failure to include the three scanned pages that it claimed it would send in the email attachment earns it zero stars!I will admit that it was good at the scanning part. Maybe everything functions properly when you buy the full version, but the free version doesn't even do what it claims it will do, and that makes me sad.

Unnecessary and going downhill

this app used to be really great. it was very useful and convenient, and great for organizing business like documents. However it is greatly gone downhill by adding advertising much of the time when you try to perform an action. and now that the iPhone has allowed the feature of scanning it has made this application unnecessary.if they want to improve this app that need to bring back the one time purchase option. when this up first began you paid for it once and that was that. Now even though I’ve already paid for the app before, I am now being bombarded with advertising again. It’s like being sold a product of them being robbed of that product just because they feel like it. So take away the advertising. Some of us got actual business things to do.

The most annoying and inconvenient app ever

I downloaded this app to take a picture and scan just one document. I deleted it right after and had my automatic renewals setting turned off on my iTunes account but still got charged. After being charged I went and double checked that I wasn't subscribed for another week and it seemed like I wasn't. I got charged again. I checked AGAIN and there is no "unsubscribe" or "cancel subscription" button. I contacted the support team and they responded with: A successfully cancelled subscription should have its expiration date specified, have no subscription option selected and no "cancel subscription" button available. --to my knowledge all this was and still is true and yet if I get charged for another week I will be so much more furious than I already am! This app is not worth the hassle of using once unless you don't mind it eating slowly eating your money.
