## Review summary

Users praise InstaPDF for reliable, fast scans, ease of use, strong auto-cropping, easy PDF sharing, and efficient multi-page workflows across devices. Recurrent drawbacks focus on cropping inconsistencies and login/password issues, including forgotten passwords and occasional sign-in problems. Overall sentiment is positive with requests for smoother cropping and more robust account recovery features.

### Pros

- Very reliable and fast scanning across devices (often described as 100% reliable over years)
- Easy to use with a user-friendly interface that doesn’t require expertise
- Strong auto-cropping and page alignment that keeps scans tidy, with improvements over updates
- Great for exporting and sharing as PDFs and accessing documents across mobile and desktop
- Efficient multi-page scanning (e.g., a 14-page document in under a minute) and convenient mobile-to-desktop workflow

### Cons

- Cropping/edge-detection not always perfect; auto-crop can miss edges and manual cropping on iPhone can be fiddly
- Sign-in and password management issues (forgotten passwords, no easy reset, occasional Sign In with Apple problems)
