Used to love this app, now I have to switch to another one.

Previously, even free users could scan a document and share it with another device (like my computer). However, very recently, free users can only share via a link on the Adobe Acrobat website. This completely removes the free users' usability.

Good app, but I wish it linked to the icloud Drive

Given that this is an app for iPhone and iPad, why the hell does it only link to Google Drive and dropbox Drive? It really should have the ability built-in to save files directly to the iCloud Drive instead of the ridiculous amount of fluffing around I have to do to save scanned PDFs to the appropriate folder where I want them.

Crappy and misleading

I recently wrote a review which I unconditionally withdraw because it is not as I portrayed the software. I expected when I effortlessly sent my scanned images to my email address, I would be able to use the image as an attachment which is not the case. I can only “send” the images to others by sharing a link, something I refuse to do so I will not be using this scanner again and recommend others who are averse to sending links to others likewise shun this application.

Recommend it to all

This is the only scanning app I use due to it’s simple user interface and ability to access those files on the go. Anytime someone laments their scanning experiences or requirements I suggest this app, going so far as to give an on the spot demo of how fast and easy it is to use.
Sadly budget doesn’t allow for better access but I cannot fault the access they give for free. I hope to be in a better position to fully support this app in the future but for now, I’ll just keep spreading the word.

Superior performance and scanning technology

One of the highest quality scanners available for researchers and students. Convenient to scan multiple pages to one document as well as post scanning edit functions.
On the downside arranging documents into folders can be fiddly. So far it is best to open in a web browser rather than the app to perform this chore. I assume the paid version can solve this issue.
It is also easy to lose documents. There is no back up, so be careful. Somehow I accidentally deleted contents of my document but an empty file still exists. Still no idea how this happened. There is no ability to retrieve earlier versions (unlike other software).

Unable to Scan - Keeps saying an Error has occurred - what happened?

I have used Adobe Scan on my Ipad for many, many years, and have always found it an extremely useful app, and have even helped others to download and access it. I have not had any issues before, however, when I have tried to use it over the past couple of days to scan a couple of documents it starts okay - saying it is looking for the document, then freezes, goes black, and says an unexpected error has occured. Is this due to your update 3 weeks ago? Due to the holiday period I probably last used it just before that. Is there some way I can correct the error? Are others experiencing similar issues? Is there a fix coming? I hope it is possible to resolve this - as I said this is a very useful app I use frequently. Please help
28/1 Thank you for your response - I will give a try.

An awesome product

Scanning is a pain, I’ve worked in IT for 30+ years and getting scanners to work is without a doubt the worst part. Scanner have two interfaces in windows and doesn’t come with an app that’s good, and never have.
With this application it couldn’t be easier. You point it at the document, it captures the image, works out where the edges are and straightens the image. All of this is done quicker than you can turn over the next page. Then you just click ‘Continue’ and the next page is added. It is so simple and I will recommend it to anyone that ever scans. Throw your scanner out and use this application.
I have not looked at what else the app can do. But scanning and adding it to a pdf and sending or storing couldn’t be easier.

Would Recommend!!

scans perfectly for school projects, doctor paperwork. Everything! but I think to some extent it’s dependent on the quality of the camera… which is external from Adobes control. Anyways I would 100% recommend, my dad and mum both use it and so does my brother at University. It’s just a really helpful tool - so thanks to whoever made it 😊

Great App

Another excellent Adobe app. I just got out of hospital after 2 major surgeries over 4 weeks and after arriving home I received documents including Medicare forms and bills that at first overwhelmed me. Being in pain with 4 sections of stitches I can’t travel yet, that’s when I tried Adobe Scan. So easy to use, copy, and send emails with signed documents. Thank you Adobe..

I love this app - without a photocopier, this was my only way to scan documents and print them. I can save docs as PDFs and turn them into forms, great for creating student worksheets, keeping work samples and you’re able to rotate, add or delete pages, and change between colour and b&w... Love it!

Interface misleading

I originally gave this a 1 star rating believing adobe was doing their usual ‘everything for a subscription’ creating a photo to PDF app that did not export PDFs but instead forced one to use their online services or purchase a subscription
I was wrong it is able to save pdf via sharing. So 3 stars for somewhat misleading interface and also scans were wonky. If one were really paying $16/mnth I would want it to crop documents in a manner that corrects mild perspective distortion automatically.

So good, I’ve made the effort to write this review

I can’t normally be bothered to write reviews for apps. But in the last few weeks I’ve had many documents to fill out and send back to various parties by email. My printer doesn’t have a scanner and some organisations (I won’t name the bank) will not accept photos of my documents. So I have started using this app. It quickly finds the edge of each page and takes a clean image without including the background surface. When all pages are scanned, it’s easy to save and email a pdf. Jolly good.

So surprised at the quality and ease of this app!

Very frustrating

This app infuriates me more often than not. When it works well, it's great... but it rarely works well. I constantly have issues uploading documents, the app constantly makes copies of each scan that I do manage to upload (which forces me to have to manually delete the double, triple or quadruple copies) or it completely locks my scans and says that they've been modified outside of the app and can therefore no longer be accessed which requires me to have to redo my handwritten paperwork to try again.
I pay for this service out of my own pocket. It's neccessary for my line of work. It makes me wonder why I bother spending a cent when I can't even access the documents that I NEED access to whenever required.
Any requests for help that I put in are either ignored or I'm basically told to fix it myself.
I'm ready to find another app and just start keeping hard copies of all the files I uploaded using this app. It's an absolute crock.
I started using this app purely because I was frustrated with CamScanner but their issues were nowhere near as bad as this one. I think I'm about to go back.
If you're reading this review and wondering whether or not to get the app, learn from me and DO NOT USE THIS APP.

The best

The best of the best! When you scan the doc you gets the lightest KB size with higher resolution on your file, easily can attach to your email, with the majority of others your files become very large file (20MB) on very sample documents and you won’t able to attach to your send email. Go go for Adobe! Thanks

Best scanning app on iOS

Highly recommended. Extremely handy for scanning pages, especially as we don’t have a scanner at home.
Integration with iOS seems good as it’s easy to find scans and attach them via iOS Mail app. We’ve used it tons of times to scan and email documents, as well as converting other formats such as photos.
Have tried other apps - one competing app required an expensive subscription before it would convert photos to PDF, another did convert for free but the file was 5x the size of the Adobe one and couldn’t find it when trying to attach to email.
Hard to believe this app is free!

Adobe Scan is amazing, already I can see how similar it is to scanning drawings in a sketchbook. However it saves an incredible amount of time as rather than scanning each individual page, only a picture on your phone, is necessary, then imported into this app automatically optimises the scan and leaves you with a crisp very admirable outcome able to be transferred into a digital program such as photoshop minus unwanted imperfections!

Thank you

I am a University student and I don’t have a scanner. I need scanner frequently. I scan my documents from uni or from my friends scanner. But some times i really don’t have this options. But since i download this app my scanning problems resolved. This app is so easy to use and scan documents perfectly and saved documents as pdf. The best thing about this app is that i can send my documents to others emails. This way i can also excess the documents from my emails when i need to print the documents. This app is amazing.
Thank you for developing this app.

Starting to get problems

This app was great until about a week ago. I like it because I can clean up smudges etc before uploading to cloud, but recently this feature hasn’t been great. The file looks fine when I finish cleaning but then I go to save it and there are white patches as if the eraser has either cleared a larger area than it was showing as I did it or like the eraser has been dragged across randomly. It means that portions of text are getting obscured and it’s no annoying because I have to revert back to original to start again- which means any other changes (I.e cropping etc) are also lost. It has wasted so much time re-doing it. Please look into fixing this ASAP as the clean-up is my main reason for choosing this app!

Useless

You changed your software and now I cant scan the page to my device. I dont want to use links. I want the document and be able to attach the document itself to an email.
This program is now useless.

Nice app, but...

This app is great and all, love the idea of auto capture where it finds the borders but the main reason i downloaded it was for the OCR. I read on the app description that you have pdf to text but was kinda disappointed when i couldn’t just copy the text from the document. I have noticed you can search for specific words but i spent ten minutes looking for a way to copy the entire text but didn’t seem to find an option for that.
Again, its a great app but i would really like to see the extra feature mentioned added, you guys already have the OCR why not just finish it with a nice copy paste feature?
Thanks😊

Adobe Scan App

Fantastic for people like me who have only work tools- a phone and a laptop. It’s easy to transfer scanned documents from phone to laptop. Great for documents handed out in meetings - it’s so convenient to be able to say no thanks to the hard copy documents and quickly take copies instead.

Great Concept and Easy to use- Just needs a a few tweaks!

Love how it automatically capitures the documents your wanting to scan through and how you can change and crop it to the size you want/adjust the the edges- buttt a few suggestions...-
• The Crop Tool- needs to be a bit more rigid/restricted. It can be hard to capture a scan at the precise angle/ level for it too come out good and looking like a document that was scanned through a printer/scanner. And when you do get it looking like a pretty straight level border, the slightest finger movements when adjusting it makes it uneven again, therefore takes 10 times longer to try and be steady with the cropping of the browser of the scan.( example: trying to scan through a receipt, easy enough but if you didn’t scan it at the right/level angle the border of your scanned receipt might have a random diagonal border and trying to adjust it to make it a level straight line is a lot harder than it looks and as soon as you lift off your finger 8/10 times it adjusts it slightly off, therefore having to go crop the same border again. )
• Previous Scans Section- need in the previous history of scans section some sort of folder system/organisation into where your wanting the scans to go and what ones can be grouped together even though they might of been scanned at different dates.
But overall, it’s the easiest scanner app I’ve come accross so far with the automatic scanner function, and how the picture/document scanned through is a quite nice, clear sharp image, it’s always my go to. I’ve gotten plenty of the scanner apps to test them out too see how they fair up against this one, and I’ve gone and deleted every single one so far because I’ve found nowhere near comparison in ease and use like this one.
Keep it up guys, cheers for making life easier as it’s always easy to pull up and scan the document/receipt straight away instead of trying to find it later on when your near a scanner/or end up losing it completely before you get a chance to scan it. Has made receipt warranty’s that fade instantly a thing of the past for me! ❣️

What a great app

This ‘Scan’ app by Adobe is one of my devices most useful. I have only recently discovered it and like most Adobe applications/products, it is clever, convenient and user/friendly particularly for scanning documents on the run. It’s brilliant! The apps intelligent sensing of the outline of the document that is being scanned is particularly impressive!

Adobe Scan Application

I have spent a great deal of time searching for a convenient scan application and finally found Adobe Scan it works wonderfully well and helps me keep things in order and safe. Being on a defence pension I find it out of my scope to purchase a full version; however I will make do with what I have. I am extremely happy about it.

Adobe on the Move

As I am constantly on the road the ability to pdf documents and then upload them to the Cloud is invaluable. Just need to find a away to delete the documents on mass when uploaded would move it to 5 star for me.

Love this app

Very good app for scanning documents. I use it to scan all my school documents and passports and you can even take a photo of a paper and then scan the photo later. It’s very easy to use, you can crop your photos to refine them. 10/10 would recommend.

Adobe scan app

After some repositioning of the iPad to get all the page in frame, so as not to get faded black lines and delete the snaps that shown too much angular misalignment l finally settled on some that will do.
Unless one has an overhead tripod to steady the camera point and with an exact A4 frame capture, then free handing has to be the room to improve choice for an amateur such as myself etc &c.

Best app on my phone.

The adobe scan app is brilliant!!
It has become possibly the most valuable tool on my phone, for school, work and personal life!
To have the ability to produce a PDF anywhere and anytime, to then be able to email it to yourself and others is invaluable!! It has saved me on so many occasions.
A proper must have.

Amazing

I tried cam scanner and it took so long to recognize the document and also keep the label of the app in your pdf so I wasn’t able to use them anymore, but with this app I found superb fast focus on the document and take the scan in record time with high quality! Congrats

Indispensable productivity app

I had my reservations when I downloaded this app, but those reservations have since been dispelled.
We are a paperless environment at work relying on PDFs making up each file. This app makes capturing all written notes to be uploaded really simple.
I'd recommend it!

Good but feature request

I just wish I could pull back on the super harsh default contrast settings. I end up going back to the original image because it is easier to read than the processed options, but what I really want is something in between. I just need a slider to specify how much I want the image adjustment applied.

Excellent Scanning App for Smartphones

Great app, easy to use, excellent quality scans made just by pointing your smartphone camera lens at the page. Love the options of being able to delete individual pages from a scan and retake them. Also being able to reorder pages into the correct order/sequence is very handy.

Fantastic Application

Adobe are probably the best produces of picture editing software. I have used PS Express, Adobe Sketch, PS Fix and now I have just started using Adobe Scan. This latest program makes it so easy to scan any document with a smart phone, and with only two steps your can convert the file to PDF and save or send the file, as required. The best thing about Adobe’s Software is it’s excellent layout and ease of use. 5 stars for sure.

Amazing! Life changing

No more worrying about getting to a printer just to scan a document, snap a quick photo and you have access to it from your phone and can easily share it with text, email or any other way just like you would a photo!
It’s so simple and easy to use!
Will come in handy for students and teachers as you can just snap a photo of templates or text books, it turns it into a PDF of all the photos you snapped so you can categorise it and have it all at your finger tips in not time!
Life changing app!

Nothing like this..you have to download and try even if you use other packages,

I have tried various scanning software including Microsoft office lens and this gives you all the features and flexibility for what you want to do, and much better than any paid softwares. I believe there has been a lot of work and ingenuity in creating this package for people like me.
I also use the acrobat reader on my iPad to sign docs and save them on google drive when I see my clients. All For Free!

Easy to use- great quality

It’s as if I put my docs on a scanner they are such good quality!
Very easy to use. Open the app, point your camera at the doc you want scanned and it finds the edges itself. Really intuitive!
Also easy to save and share. Has option to delete the snaps you didn’t like and save the remaining parts as a bundled PDF document. Even better? If you want to email it you can do it from the app- it opens a new email with the PDF already attached.
It was recommended to me and I would recommend it to everyone!

Adobe Scan

This is a must have app for all smart phone and tablet users. Hassle free and no need to search for a printer with this app when you need to scan and save important documents. Perfect at meetings, when signing contracts and any time you need a record of a document. Easy to use, and to share any documents at any time.

Once again a Adobe Crush it

Adobe scan is hands down the best mobile PDF tool on the market.
I love the seamless integration of other media and scan documents into single PDF file, coupled with the freedom to share via file link uploaded to creative cloud or attach complete file to email.
One tip if you are my generation deselect auto capture it can get away from you ;) but if you are generation “but dad if you just” auto capture is right up your ally, my resident IT expert 13 blew my hair back laying out 10 pages scanning and compiling in less than a minute.
Sure you can download and assemble a plethora of apps to do the same thing in 50 steps that this app does in 2 or 3 and lets face it always is so much sweeter and cleaner from the source.
My Adobe subscription is one of the most sound investments I have made a few bucks a month and I am covered laptop, tablet or mobile.
The ease with which I can create, edit, draft, collaborate and share with quality consistency and stability across multiple Adobe software and app platforms is exceptional value for money.
Cheers

Seems good but...

Have used it a couple of times and had to capture image on one receipt manually. The automatic scan function seems to have a problem capturing long receipts. Also I have two email addresses operating from my phone and it chooses one by default. I would like the option of which email address the scanned image is sent from. Apart from that very convenient and great way of dealing with receipts and not having to store paper documents.
