User Reviews

Users appreciate the Paperless Mobile app for being free, feature-rich, and having an intuitive interface for managing documents on the go. However, multiple reviews report issues with uploading documents, especially multi-page scans, as well as app instability like hanging on startup, connection delays, and problems saving metadata. Despite these drawbacks, responsive developer support and continuous improvements keep the app promising.
Pros
  • Free and generally works for checking and uploading documents on the go.
  • Clean, simple, and intuitive user interface with good visual layout.
  • Supports common features from the web interface including tags, document types, and multi-page document uploads.
  • Responsive developer support with quick bug fixes and updates.
  • Capabilities like mTLS support and future compatibility with paperless-ngx versions.
Cons
  • Uploading documents often fails or hangs, leading to freezing or indefinite upload status, especially with multi-page scans.
  • Issues with signing in or connecting to server, sometimes delayed detection of connection status.
  • App sometimes hangs on splash screen or fails to open after initial launch without cache clearing.
  • Problems editing and saving metadata like tags, with changes reverting silently.
  • User interface has unintuitive elements and some screens (e.g. adding new tags) show a blank gray screen.

It's free and it works. Useful for quickly checking a document on the go.

Awesome app but uploads seem to be broken with latest paperless-ngx (maybe because api reports v5 while app supports v3 only), which is my primary use-case.
