User Reviews for TurboScan™ Pro: PDF scanner

Four stars—almost five, but not quite

I do really like this app and I use it often. The problem is that sometimes, it just decides it won’t copy the entire document for me. I will have a document with columns, and sometimes, inexplicably, the app will totally refuse to copy all the columns of an 8 1/2x 11 document. It will only copy two or three columns. Sometimes it will work if I first photograph the document and then try to scan the photograph in to the app. Other times, the app still won’t scan the entire document, only a few rows. Then again, another day, it will scan the entire document that it refused to entirely scan the day before. Puzzling and aggravating, since I had started depending on this app for my scanning needs. Other than that, it’s a very good app. I wish the app creators would fix this. I’d like to be able to “stretch” the area of scan, and sometimes I can, and sometimes, I can’t. “It’s a puzzlement!”

Great fit for work application

This app works like you would want it to, I work in an industry where measurements are taken in the field , and then transferred to shop layouts/cut sheets. I live 45 minutes away from our shop so not only does the app save time, it also saves money by allowing me to send in quality cut sheets from anywhere, and saving me the time from having to drive to our shop everyday. I don't have a fax machine at home. I use pdf to send them, and my boss simply opens the pdf file sent to his email, prints the cut sheet, and within minutes our shop is fabricating the work. What used to take a minimum of 24 hrs, now takes minutes, and every scan can be saved to the cloud or other devices, so instead of carrying physical paper cut sheets around until the jobs are completed, it's all on my phone if an installer has a question, I simply open the file for reference. If there is anything negative that I would be forced to say, it's make sure you clean your camera lens, which is user based not the app. And hold your device as still as possible to get the best scans. Great app, and a huge help in my profession.

Super easy and intuitive

This app (paid pro app) does what it is supposed to do and does it very well. The scanner function allows you to resize the scan area of a photo if the app does not pick up the entire scan area (although with a flat sheet of paper on a dark background it does a great job), the scan quality is very good on medium settings, and the app will save the pdf to your phone or you can immediately email as a pdf straight from the app— you can also draft the body and subject line of the email straight from the app. This is a super handy “fire and forget” scan app when you need to send a couple or three pages (you can combine photos in a single pdf) quickly without having to scan through a separate scanner/printer to a hard drive. This app is my first option for scanning a couple docs and getting them out the door. Well worth the pro price. Kudos.

Greatest app you thought you’d hardly use

Wrong, you will use this app more often than you can imagine. It’s a one-time charge and you have the highest quality scanner you could own. Best of all, it’s with you all of the time. I have owned scanners/printers that take up room, need ink replacement, and must be replaced frequently, and I must have access to it at the time I need it. With TurboScan, it’s there when I need it. I have just installed the TurboFax Pro, as I am occasionally needing to fax an item as opposed to emailing it, as some businesses do not allow access to their computers via outside emails. I’ve always had to leave home, either drive to bank (free faxing), or to a postal annex type place and pay per sheet (usually costing $1.00 per page). The thing is, I’ve now had to take the time to drive somewhere, go inside a business, and pay someone more money to fax something I could have done from home, for less time and less money. I can’t wait to try it out! P.S. I do not write reviews, but when I found the TurboFax app today, I felt I had to rate and review the company that makes these two app. Outstanding!!!!!

Suggestion

I love Turbo scan, I’ve been using it for years now. I am also using the turbo fax app. There are several other scanning apps out there, but I still like this one the best because it gives the option to save as a photo image so it gives me the most flexibility when saving things and using them in other apps (like apps that let you change PDFs). But I have a few suggestions. 1. Is there an option for auto scan? I’ve noticed that adobe scan has that option and it is extremely handy, especially for people with hand disabilities. I recently had joint replacement on both of my thumbs and I have the iPhone plus, which is challenging to hold even with two good thumbs, but impossible with no useful thumbs. So, it’s extremely challenging to hold the phone and hit the button to take the picture/scan. But in Adobe it does it automatically. So I’ve had to scan in Adobe and then save to TurboScan. 2. This is my major request. I have upwards of 175 documents that I’ve scanned in. Organization is my issue. I do save them to “my files” in iCloud. Or sometimes in Dropbox. Because I can make folders and albums etc. But I want to keep them in TurboScan as well. I need to be able to group my docs by subject. (My son’s stuff from school. My stuff for work. Etc)So, please consider adding albums and folders like is available with the iPhone files app or Dropbox etc. Thank you for listening. Best,Kristin

This scanner is best

I have used Turbo Scan now for several years - it is great. I use it to scan large blue prints 22" x 34" and can then email it or print on smaller paper. This app lets you "frame" or crop in order to pick segments of a document/picture. Other scanners are not user friendly for scanning large prints or even a "white board" and then print on letter size paper. Don't waste time and money on other apps ( I have tried several others and they can't compare to this one).A previous update removed the ability to scan a "white board" from a distance with clarity. Current scanned image is very small and framing is difficult and then making the image larger is not clear. Previously I could zoom in on distant white board, then frame - image was very good. Would like to see this as an option. Currently I am using an iPhone 6+. I still rate this app as a 5 star.Update review 6/6/17I asked for the return of the "zoom in" feature and the technical department responded. It helps with whiteboard scans or large sized drawings that would be difficult or impossible to get a good scan. If rating scale went higher than 5 it would see a 10 from me. The other updates that were made has truly made this the best scanner on the market. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. Thanks Turboscan for making the best scanner app even better.

One improvement needed. Another suggested.

Well, I like the app a lot. Use it every day. Definitely recommend it. Best in AppStore, and I’ve tested many. The improvement I’m missing is quite simple: 1) after you frame the document, you should be prompted DIRECTLY to name it. Could be by default or by have that feature in the menu. For example. I finish framing, I go to next screen to export it. The document has the document+date as it’s name. But I have to click to edit, then edit the name, then back to export. Skip that and after the framing ask the user to name the document. You can still maintain the default name, but it needs to be “selected” in a way that when the user types, the text disappears. If he wants to keep default, he/she’ll only need to click on “done”. I hate have to click to edit the name every time and then get back. Not intuitive. This would make things lot easier. Again, not all people may agree with this feature, so having a toggle to activate it would be cool.

Very Few Apps I Love

There are very few apps that I truest love. Most apps now days want you to “subscribe”.. NO, I absolutely hate that. I will pay u once, if I want to update, I’ll pay an update fee, but I am digressing. This app is truly great!!!! I like taking pics of documents to file and remember things, problem with that, you are also taking a picture of the background. This app recognizes the paper size and auto takes a cutout picture of just that. AWESOME program. Please, stick to non subscription business model, or at least have a lifetime option for further programs. I do have one suggestion, I recently started taking pics of business cards. Your program really has a hard time auto recognizing the size to cut out. I even put the business cards on a while background and it still couldn’t auto cut. Maybe, you could have an option to tell the program what paper size at the time u are taking the pic? Or if the problem is just with business cards, have a toggle switch, letting the program know this is a business card? Regardless, minor issue. Keep up the fantastic programming!!!

Used for years. Incredibly valuable.

I just realized today when the application asked if I wanted to leave a review or not, HOW MUCH IVE USED THIS over the past few years. It’s been incredibly valuable for when people need a hand written signature in a form to be emailed. I’ve used this application for sending notes to people, to heavy hitting things like signed contracts for buying vehicles and other major events. At my old job, I had the only “real” scanner in the building next to my desk (was used to scan artwork into graphic design software as I was working at a print shop) and people would come all the time to use it. I’d always ask “you just need 2 forms scanned? You could just be using turbo scan.” And almost like a cheesy commercial script they would ask me what it was. Once I show them the app and explain the paid version is super cheap and very worth it, the number of people that would come to my office for scans dropped dramatically. Absolutely love this essential application. It should come with the phone.

Tried all: this is the best

Update: Still the best. I’ve been using this for years and it is flawless. Sometimes I need OCR and go elsewhere, but TurboScan is so much better for every other use that this is my go-to. I’m currently trying to find a free scanner than my students can use while distance learning, so I’m going back through the list of “best scanners” and trying them all out again. Nothing compares. You’d be amazed at how many scanners don’t allow you to save or export an image file. This is the best.2016? I am a scanning nerd. I have tried all the top-rated scanning apps (stupidly, paid for them all). I also have a hand-held DoxieGo. This is the phone app. I use it to take photo notes of whiteboards to save class notes, and to take easily readable scans of books. My students are amazed at the difference between my take-away notes (turbo scan) and theirs (camera). Excellent as-is. Never change.
