## Review summary

CamScanner+ is loved for its high-quality scans, handy cropping/cleanup tools, and easy sharing to cloud storage, with many users relying on it in the field and over years of use. However, reviews converge on several negatives: persistent monetization and paywalls that hinder access and saving documents; performance issues and compatibility problems after updates; sharing/faxing glitches (Outlook integration, emailing recipients); and occasional login/authentication hassles. While functionality remains strong, pricing friction and reliability problems dominate current feedback.

### Pros

- Excellent scan quality with intuitive cropping/cleanup features
- Indispensable for fieldwork and travel; great for documentation away from the office
- Long-standing, reliable app used for years
- Easy sharing and seamless uploads to cloud storage
- Rich editing tools to clean up scanned documents

### Cons

- Persistent subscription/paywall and watermark: ongoing charges for basic features and the ability to save/export; users feel nickel-and-dimed
- Performance and compatibility issues after updates: glitchy, slow, and not as reliable on newer iOS versions
- Sharing and export problems: Outlook integration and email sharing often misbehave
- Fax functionality frequently not working or inaccessible
- Login/authentication hiccups: forced re-login and delayed security emails
