## Review summary

Users consistently praise FineReader Pro for strong OCR quality and solid mobile scanning on iPhone/iPad, along with reliability built from years of use. However, major recurring complaints center on crashes and data loss, degraded OCR performance after updates (including non-English text), removal or breakage of key features like multipage PDFs and page-splitting, poor auto edge-detection requiring manual adjustments, long processing times, and a lack of basic file management. Some report pushy pricing and server-based processing that limits local storage.

### Pros

- Very high OCR quality/accuracy across languages (English and Spanish noted)
- Excellent mobile scanning experience on iPhone/iPad (fast and reliable)
- Long-standing reliability and maturity with years of use
- Fast, intuitive user interface and workflow

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and data loss: app crashes during scan/crop and scanned pages disappear on reopen
- OCR quality degraded after updates (including discontinued support) and inconsistent results across languages
- Loss or breakage of features: multipage PDFs removed or fail to save; page-splitting feature removed
- Poor auto edge detection requiring manual edge-cropping and slow processing
- Lack of basic file management/organization (no folders or sorting)
