1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Way to screw up an app over the years. Distracting icons, popups, the save PDF story is clunky with multiple icons and options overlapping instead of suggesting the Files API, auto upload still works as it used to though. Also stupid upsells, links to other apps, asks for your contacts, offers fax with credits. Truly squeezing the 2020 acquisition, eh?

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Worst app. Unable to cancel or terminate this app and recurring payment

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Does not work. Google keeps blocking apps use and cannot contact anyone at SwiftScan to fix it

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   MAJOR SCAN PROBLEMS. In the beginning, it worked great once they purchased the pro and VIP packages. However, now years later, the app is not syncing with the iCloud account with iOS. And after several emails to Customer Support resolutions have not resolved the issue. Tried the old-fashioned method delete the app and reinstall it, but it never asked me for a LOGIN or Password and Never started syncing with ICloud (iOS)

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   From great paid app to nag app. Stay away

6. ★★★★★cross-device sync is unreliable

   Ipad sync issues. Ipad mini 7 not syncing. App is updated and i tried deleting app and reinstalling app. Still not syncing.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not free anymore. Liked the app, but now you have to pay to use. Not worth the price since I don’t use it that often. I’m moving to the free scan that comes with iPhone.

8. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Watermark :(. No option for free without watermark anymore :(

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Ads with a side of scanning. Want great ads? Download this app? Looking for a great scanning app? Look elsewhere! I bought this app a while ago and it used to be the best app for scanning but not anymore.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No longer usable. Can’t get around forced subscription pop up. No longer have access to previously scanned documents.

11. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Works great for awhile. Works good for awhile then asks you to buy and gives no option to x out then have to delete and redownload

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Could not get family sharing to work. I’ve been a fan of SwiftScan for years. The app works fine. It says that it supports family sharing but I couldn’t figure out how to do it after spending 30 minutes trying in the app and searching SwiftScan’s website.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Sending a Fax after Purchasing Credit did not work.. This app will take your money. I purchased credit to send a fax from the app and I was charged 15.92 for said credits. After the purchase, the credits never appeared and I still cannot use those credits to send a fax. Requested a refund and was denied twice. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS APP.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Getting worse over time. I’ve used this for scanning years. Since before they started started charging a monthly fee. The move to a subscription model was crazy for an app that is only running locally on your phone. But now even the existing features have gone downhill. Frequent nagging ads to upgrade / or try some “AI” features that no one asked for. Disappointed I spent money on this.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Free version is now useless; STAY AWAY. SwiftScan got super greedy and blocked off all the useful features in the free version, and the subscription model is crazy -expensive. If you’ve got dumb money, this is the app for you!

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    SCAM/ PHISHING/FRAUD. ALERT ‼️ PLEASE TO ANYONE CONSIDERING TO USE THIS APPLICATION DON’T I WAS JUST ALERTED BY MY SECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT THAT THIS APP HAS BEEN /IS INVOLVED WITH FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES AND PHISHING ON POTENTIAL USERS OF THIS APP. ALERT ‼️ THIS APP IS PERFORMING FRAUDULENT AND PHISHING ACTIVITIES ON USERS ACCOUNTS AND INFORMATION.

17. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Broken. It lets you crop it, but then when you send it as a PDF, the crop is not at all what you did.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Skip it unless you want to pay to lose all your files and documents. Bad faith and poor ethics. I purchased the premium or pro version years ago to support developers when they first started. However, I lost all functionality, features and most importantly my saved documents & files, when they changed their business model. I understand the economics of a monthly subscription, however it is extremely poor business practice and unethical to not honor the subscriptions of the people who purchased the app and supported it, when you were first getting started, long before it was a monthly service. I would at least like to restore and recover all of my itemized documents & files the were previously scanned and saved with my paid version. I’d strongly recommend for others to skip this app unless you want to pay money to lose all of your data and documents as well as the basic features that are readily available elsewhere.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Camera stopped working. Camera stopped working after iOS update 17.4.1. When will you fix this bug? I’m currently paying for an app that doesn’t work.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription only. This app is a subscription only no option to pay for it outright. Any app that’s a subscription like this gets a one star review for me. This is 2024 and this is so overpriced I was shocked.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to be Great. Used to be freemium, allowing you limited use for free. Now however you’re only allowed 1 scan of 2 pages before it forces you to buy to continue. Unfortunate

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Mixes Up Pages. The app is constantly mixing up the pages, putting them in an order different from the one I inputted… extraordinarily frustrating …

23. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Scam scan. Do not use or download this app. It is a scam. I had to scan one document to email and I was able to do so once just fine. I went to check on that document less than an hour later and the app has locked me out if I don’t pay. When I accepted the free trial just so I could move my document, they charged me the full fee instead. And they don’t offer a free trial if you go for a month subscription so not only do they charge you, but they charge you for a year. This app is a trap! Do not use. I have reported this to apple and asked for a refund.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to love this app, not now. I’ve used this app for many many years scanning home documents. Recently however, my scans are now blurry and poor quality to the point of being unusable. I will have to explore a different app for this application at this point.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Stopped working. I can't get the camera to load or a picture to process. This app used to be great but now it's unusable. And I paid for the subscription.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Turn for the worse. This product used to be excellent! Used it for years—Great quality, quick and easy to use. Recently started using again and the ads and offers to upgrade make it impossible to upload a document without being interrupted or having to close the app to restart. Very disappointing. :/

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes on launch. Not sure how to access my docs. Used Settings to offload app then reinstall, no difference.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Use other apps. This app used to be powerful and mostly free. Now they charge you for updating the color of the scan, a previously free feature. A lot of free features are now paid. I understand charging for premium features but this is ridiculous. Stay away

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Forget it.. So,they had to go to Subscriptions? That means that I will never own the App,no matter how much I pay. So,they intend to bleed out their loyal customers? I want no part of this, I am hoping it is a passing trend.It is a bit like paying rent for years,then getting evicted anyway.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t crop well anymore?. I’ve used this app for years. Recently I’ve had to manually crop ever scan, instead of the speed of letting the app handle it for me. What changed? I’ve gone through the settings and can’t find anything to improve the experience.
