Review summary

Users praise CamScanner for being easy to use, highly functional, and reliable for years, especially for documentation and scanning tasks. However, recurring complaints center on billing, including auto-subscription charges, unexpected charges, and refunds disputes. Another major issue is that the free version now produces watermarked outputs and cannot save as PDF without a paid plan, pushing users toward a subscription. Overall sentiment highlights strong usefulness and growth in features, but monetization and billing friction detract from the user experience for many.

Easy to use and user-friendly scanner
Very functional and versatile for documentation and scanning
Long-standing, reliable app used for years
Free version available with ads and still effective
Overall positive sentiment and satisfaction

Cons

Auto-subscription charges and unexpected billing
Watermarks on outputs and reduced usefulness in free version
Inability to save as PDF without a paid subscription
Billing disputes / refunds issues and unrecognized charges
Perceived aggressive monetization / paid-only features

2026-09-10	Da*****	Garbage app. Ads are very intrusive. Tried saving a pdf file from pictures of homework for submission. app failed to create the file, saving it as a 0b file. All the while it served me 12 ads, most of which were predatory. Do yourself a favor and find an open source alternative to this garbage.
