User Reviews

User reviews show strong praise for convenient mobile scanning and accurate voice-to-text, plus long-standing reliability. However, frequent, overlapping complaints center on the shift to a subscription model with paywalls, removal of key features (like book-scanning) and inconsistent OCR/PDF output, limited integration with Photos and cloud services, stability issues after updates, and purchase/support friction on Mac and across platforms.

Pros

Convenient mobile scanning that eliminates the need for a bulky, separate scanner.
Accurate voice recognition / voice typing for converting speech to text.
Long-standing reliability and positive reception among many users over years (noted as a top scanning app).

Cons

Transition to a subscription model with paywalls and loss of a one-time license, which many users view as a negative change.
Removal of core features (e.g., book-scanning) and degraded output (OCR quality and PDF saving) after updates.
Limited file access and import options: can't easily open or import from cloud services or Photo Library; restricted to camera roll/camera workflow for OCR.
Stability and update issues (apps not starting after updates, crashes) and perceived weak support.
Mac/desktop purchasing difficulties and broader cross-platform/support frustrations for the product.
