I'm amazed by the opportunity to have portable and easy to use scanner in my pocket, on my phone! It very useful for scanning, aligning, printing and editing documents. The greatest feature of it is that it is free. It is affordable for all regular users and can be easily upgraded with paid features when needed. I find it useful to be able to arrange the photos of documents and of other paper work in folders. I have used it successfully to store and classify my paper notes while studying.
In some cases, photos that I'm taking one after another are getting automatically sorted togetger in a separate folder by the app. I would like the app to have a feature for choosing whete to add the new photos to.

Generally a positive experience given its cost and multiple functions.
Love it's affordability, ease of use, and multi-functionality. There's a free use component in case you get the professional version, but it watermarks everything as a result. Have used it for years when doing freelance work.
My only issue that alot of times, I would have to retake photos that I wanted scanned. While it's great that the app takes into account of my angle of tkaing the photo or lighting situation, theres kind of learning curve to get the perfect scan from the photo. Wish there was end to end sharpness when taking photos of large blueprints

Overall its a simple app, with just a few functions, but all are easy to use and very handy in almost any workplace.
The best part about this software is scanning documents to transfer elsewhere. It's a simple concept, but it's ideal for remote working or someone who travels for work. It's simple, intuitive and very easy to pick up.
CamScanner really does everything pretty well, some functions (like converting to a word doc) are behind a paywall, but that reasonable and not a bad price if used regularly.

It's super simple to take pictures of my documents and turn them into PDFs
When I scan a page that's not full, the app automatically crops the page, which isn't ideal for me.

My overall experience with cam scanner has been excellent. I see the value in each of the features offered. I only wish I could have gotten more done during the 3-day free trial. I think the price is a little too high for me to keep the app for home use. After I cancel my free trial, maybe I will be presented with other less expensive options or find a promo code? If not I think I will find a free app with fewer features for home use.
My Husband used CamScanner daily at his previous job to send time sheets & other docs to the office from the field. He raved about it, saying you could turn anything into a PDF, attach pics & then send it directly from the app. He is not a tech person, so this says a lot about the ease of use. So, I signed up for the free trial to scan in some IDs & documents at home. I also used the e-signiture feature. I found it super easy to learn & use. There is an array of useful features ie. Collage so I can condense multiple pages of a contract into one. Encryption, to safely send sensitive documents & the list just goes on. If you have allot of this to do I would definitely recommend CamScanner.
For home or personal use I think the premium price is a little high unless you have enough to do to justify the price. They do however have a system of earning credits that can be exchanged for premium services over time. I don't completely understand how the program works so I don't want to comment on that too much. If you are using the application for a business I think the price is more than justified. I was only given the option to start a free trial for 3 days then pay the premium price of 49-ish dollars.

Able to store my articles for future reference in the cloud and in case they are deleted on my mobile device plus it saves on storage space this way.
It is clear when scanning a document. And it has affordable packages depending on one's ability. What I love about Camscanner is the fact that it's mobile and doesn't require one carrying a printer when i want to scan my documents. As a Content Writer, I use CamScanner to store the articles i have written them it in the cloud and can get access to them at any time.
The only disadvantage is having a CamScanner watermark when using the free version.

It has made sharing of receipts easier and reduced time spent typing documents by the use of OCR to extract texts from scanned documents.
1. Cam Scanner is easy to use and affordable. In fact, one can get a lifetime permit of the app at 299$. 2. Converting some of the scanned documents into editable text documents has saved me a lot of typing time. 3. Super excited to convert my scanned documents into PDF before sharing. 4. The free version of Camscanner also has a good number of features. 5. I can use it wherever I am as long as I have my phone
Too many advertisemnets on the fremium one.

On my part, a very good discovery that has greatly facilitated my work and the sending of scanned documents. I highly recommend camscanner
This application is a life saver to me, it has helped me a lot at work. A very good value for money with an extreme simplicity of use. The application can be used by cell phone, making it easy to work anywhere. It allows the sharing of information in scanned documents without the need to type them. I highly recommend it.
I think there is many ads in the free version. and the name of the brand that must be specified below each document.

It is a great tool to scan your document anytime and anywhere without any hurdles or hesitation. No additional system requirement. A free trial is also available and can be used easily. It's a great tool with a very low price.
It's handy and user-friendly.The price is low so anyone can subscribe to this.Provide free trial as well.
Sometimes it creates problems in loading and takes some time.

I solve most of the work site documents by camscanner and its very helpful.
Easy to use and simple to modify also the functions that camscanner offers are extraordinary.
Nothing can be considered as bad but maybe is a little bit expensive.

Overall I am completely satisfied with what is available and I highly recommend it to all the users as it makes the works pretty simple.
It is very easy to operate the software. Just a click will makes the other work automatically. There are many features which makes the images or the written document much more useful than what it was before. I used the application version of camscanner and it is working really good. I use this software for my presentations as well as report writing. The clarity and ease of features such as pdf conversion, auto detections are really worthy.
The pro version is a bit expensive but can be affordable if the use is in extensive way. More features of documentations can be added to it like grammar corrections, translation and many more.

It is great. A free app that will help you to scan the documents in handy. No need to buy scanner.
I would like to appreciate this app. They make it easier for my job as an educator especially right now that we have pandemic. I can scan the my personal documents, worksheets and other papers related to work. There is also option if you want a coloured or blank and white scan , what is totally great we have image to text! Great app
It would be really great if they can lower the price for upgrade and avail some privilege which is unlimited.

CamScanner is great application that can be used on your pc or mobile phone. I like the OCR quality even if the image is low resolution. Also, it is free with many great features it is also easy to use just let it capture what you want.
CamScanner does not support many languages and cannot handle some complicated written languages like Arabic language.

I can scan any document and I just need to have my cell phone or tablet at hand. It is fast and without cost. Additionally, the documents are of good quality.
I like that it is easy to use and the documents are perfectly scanned. You do not need special light or a setting space because the application removes any shadow and converts the document as you need it
the application must have a better start guide or some manual to take advantage of all the features it has.
