User Reviews

Users report that while the Scanmarker Air device is accurate and works well with PC software, the Android app suffers from frequent crashes, poor Bluetooth connectivity, and an interface that needs improvement. Some users praise customer support efforts but many face persistent technical problems including forced GPS access causing privacy concerns. Overall, the app's instability and limited features hinder its usability despite the good hardware performance.

Pros

Scanning text is fairly accurate when the app works properly.
The device works well with PC versions of the software.
Customer support has shown genuine effort to resolve issues, improving user experience for some.
The Bluetooth connection can be set up successfully under correct conditions (e.g., pen not connected to USB charger).
The app allows pasting consecutive scans efficiently into notes.

Cons

Frequent app crashes and instability during use, causing loss of scanned data.
Poor or unreliable Bluetooth connectivity with the scanner, including failure to detect devices.
User interface issues: needs significant improvement in layout, ease of use, and additional features like undo buttons.
Mandatory access to location/GPS required for functionality, raising privacy concerns.
Limited functionality such as inability to scan large amounts of text or paragraph-wise reading, especially for visually impaired users.

Recent reviews

Bit disappointed that though it is Bluetooth connected, it does not work well with my tablet. The App keeps closing again and again. I was hoping to use the scanmaker pen in areas where one does not need WiFi and just scan notes in books for my research work. Is it possible to only use it on Bluetooth?
