What do you like best about Pocket Scanner?

I like that the application is free to download and easy to use. I do not always have access to a scanner when I am at work, but Pocket Scanner takes high-quality scans with my phone and saves them for free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket Scanner?

I don't particularly appreciate that there are only certain features that you can access from the Free version of Pocket Scanner. However, the application provides a free trial if you wish to explore the paid features or need one of them in a pinch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most significant benefit of Pocket Scanner is that it allows you to take quick scans on the go and has 500 MB of free storage. This is helpful if you need to scan something and store this important information for a while. Additionally, Pocket Scanner allows you to edit the scans within the application so that you do not need to do so from a home computer after the scan. This is very helpful for on-the-go work.

What do you like best about Pocket Scanner?

The UI for the app is sleek and easy to navigate for new users. The features are excellent, and the document management is organized. Using your mobile device (iPhone/iPad) to scan documents is a significant advantage and is one feature I appreciate the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket Scanner?

While the features offered are modern, the quality of the handheld scanners (from a mobile device) is sometimes not that good compared to using natural scanners. The app also tries to persuade you to create an account, which for some users is not something they'll be looking to do, as the whole point of using the app is to perform simple scans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually use Pocket Scanner to make a scanned copy for physical documents that I can then send it to my supervisors via email directly from the app. I can save a lot of time by using the app to scan documents, and I also don't have to worry about not meeting deadlines for several projects.

What do you like best about Pocket Scanner?

You will not need a physical scanner ever again. The pocket scanner does it all for you, and honestly, I get better results than a printer/scanner at work.

I love how quick and convenient it is to scan copies of documents, especially for work, and then shred them and keep the digital files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket Scanner?

I wish it would integrate with google documents but that's an easy feature to add. There isn't much to not like about this app. It does the job, and it's super helpful for work. Makes my work life more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scanning documents and sotring them, saving all important documents, reducing waste since I won't have to make multiple copies of items to give to people. I can just scan it and send it to them instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked most of the features of this app. The one thing I didn't like was, that sometimes the pdf would be crooked, or I needed to retake the picture for it to be clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that I solved with the pocket scanner was gathering school assignments that were given to me in class and needed to be scanned in and submitted in pdf format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pocket Scanner?

PocketScanner is an easy to use app to scan documents and photographs of things in person- one of my favorite features is the measurement bars while you are capturing a photograph, to ensure that it is a straight and symmetrical image, as if you were scanning the document through a printer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket Scanner?

One of the things I disliked about this app is the small bombardment of the need to create an account with the app. It can be bypassed quickly, but for something so small like a scanner app, I wouldn't expect it to feel the need to prompt me to register an account. Nonetheless, it is easily avoidable by closing out of the pop-up screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?

PocketScanner makes scanning documents and photos easier. Just with a few touches and some adjustments to the camera, the app has helped me scan several important documents to meet critical deadlines, uploading and sending files through the cloud or via e-mail.

What do you dislike about Pocket Scanner?

It needs to manage shadows better. Too often lighting is a challenge and it can impact the quality of the scan. There can be shadows appear on the page, so a little more intelligence to eliminate that would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great for your simple use cases. For more complex - multi-page documents, etc. - use a full-size scanner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
