   Don’t Subscribe. I subscribed so I could save my documents in more ways, specifically to my camera roll. Tried repeatedly to do so, no saved images. Canceled.

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

   Should not have to sign in to save files. Terrible app. Would not recommend. They let you scan the files but when you want to save them or share them you have to sign in to do anything. And they want you to pay to save them directly on your phone

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

   Trash. This app is trash

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

   Forced to pay to download photos. Absolutely gross they have decided to monetize every last aspect of this app. If you want to use the app now, you have to give your data away to Evernote so they can sell it to 3rd party vendors and/or retain valuable, sensitive data for years- or you have to PAY to download to your photo album. Do better.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Used to be incredible. Used to be an incredible and life saving app, for free. Then I updated and it’s trying to charge 2.99 a week to use the useful features. Highly disappointed.

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

   Useless without the additional app. This is not a stand-alone app and is not useful unless you download an extra app to be able to move your documents off of the app

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

   Scammable. The app says you can open your app for free in Evernote but you cannot . So they let you waste time scanning a large file to coerce you to pay or you can’t access it.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Been horrid since Evernote acquired it. They make it deliberately so much worse than it used to be. Before I could just scan some pictures and send them to myself and now it’s all locked behind horrible Evernote paywall multi app dysfunction. It’s a no from me dawg.

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

   No business card contact export. Evernote quit supporting auto export of business card scans to contacts, although it still touts it as a selling point. This app is now useless. Also, important question, why is this app necessary as an Evernote subscriber? There’s already a scan app within Evernote? This is a redundant app only meant to help promote Evernote in the App Store when people are searching for scan apps.

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

    Помойка. Позволяет сохранить только в Evernote. Помойка полная!!!

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

    Horrible. horrible! the jpeg and pdf saving functions mix up all the time

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Everything is now behind a paywall. Long time user and went to use the app today and suddenly everything is behind a paywall. Will be deleting the app soon.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription model to share document. Greedy stupid software. Some stupid CEO decided to guard BASIC functionality behind a subscription model. I hate 2026.

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

    You have to pay to save now. You have to pay to save your scans now

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Sharing your scans is now a premium feature. You can’t share or send a scam unless you pay. This is basic stuff that used to be free, and is now behind a paywall.

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

    Horrible change. There was no reason for them to join up with Evernote. This app is no longer usable.

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

    New pay wall. Just continuing to show disappointment from another user in how they have forced integration with a second app or a pay wall. Used to be my go to for scanning and now will be finding an alternative.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    So sad…. I’m the type who downloads numerous apps for each different type of task.. productivity apps happen to be my favorite category. I rarely pay for an app as I know chances are there is usually something comparable free. I know now you can use your iPhone to do scans, but I had been using scannable for years and it was one app that I was completely happy with. It was reliable, free, and worked perfectly!! I could save my scans, email them, etc. whatever I needed but then suddenly like others have shared they changed everything and it now sucks. I’m definitely not going to pay when I can get the same thing if not better for free. What a waste of a good app. It’s really sad.

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

    :(. this used to be the best scanner app and now it's like unusable without making account and downloading another app

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Everything locked behind a paywall now. Awful. I’ve been using the app forever and just updated and now I can’t send or save anything

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid or it’s nonfunctional.. This was free and my go to for easily attaching PDFs to emails for schoolwork during Covid now you have to pay for that basic feature??????

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

    Was AMAZING, look elsewhere now. Loved this app, but not at all worth $3 a week! Ridiculous that they are making you use Evernote and pay so much for it when I probably only make a one or two scans a month. Used to love the ease of sending it as a pdf as a text.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was free, no more. This used to the the best scanner app available, able to turn any messy photo of a document into a clean image. However, despite the software and features staying the same, it is now locked behind an egregious $15/month subscription for the entire Evernote suite. Do I look like I’m made of money? Uninstalled.

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

    farewell. After so many years I am finally divorcing this app. I used it for a very long time and loved it more than any other app on my phone, but starting about two or three years ago it started to become more and more glitchy. Nowadays it is the most insufferable app on my phone. I waited literal years for them to make it better because I wanted to be a loyal fan and just deal with the issues at first, but they are only making it worse and worse. I’m switching to a different scanning service that I won’t mention because I’m not here to do propaganda.

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

    why do i need evernote now. great app but now it makes you download the evernote app to view the scans. it used to not require that….

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paywall. Used to be the best, now essential features like saving scans are behind a paywall

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

    Unusable. I used this app for many years before it became Evernote. Now it is impossible to use. You need to scan in one app then move to another to save it. By that point you have dismissed at least 3 free trial offers. Once you get to the Evernote app you’re forced into a free trial again unless you opt out through a button that is not obvious. I’ve used many “freemium” type apps before so I’m used to upgrade options but this is so desperate it’s comical. Do not download this! All the high star reviews are from many years ago before this change.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Ruined with paid subscription. This used to be an amazing app that performed exactly as needed and was a cut above the competition. Now you are forced into their “Evernote Ecosystem” that you have to pay and expensive subscription for, despite the fact that you need only one or two simple services. Complete waste of talent and a good app

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Trash Now. Now saving and sharing your scans need a “premium subscription”. Hahaha. I’m deleting this app after doing this review. Bye.

30. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Charging to Export Docs?. I’ve been a long-time user of Evernote Scannable. It saved my butt multiple times during my middle/high school career, as well as on some occasions during college. I opened it up for the first time in a while (need to scan but can’t access a scanning machine today) only to find that in order to export my document ANYWHERE other than Evernote, I must pay a premium subscription. I’m signing up for the free trial today to send these documents to myself, then I am canceling immediately and finding an alternative app. Money hungry isn’t a good look for you, Evernote.
