CamScanner (License)

Another one-star-rating. Disappointed with the fact I payed my license for the full version but later on the full version lost its 'premium' features. Now in order to have a fully functional application I must pay $44,99 per year! At the time of purchase, there wasn't "premium" but only "full" version. Now "full" is downgraded to nothing... That's a disgusting business model.

Functionality is excellent. I had purchased the full version some time ago and all was good however since the last software update I lost the premium options, cannot use the local folder option and it seems the app obligates the user to purchase the monthly subscription. There are other options on the market and unfortunately this app has lost its appeal due to the push towards cloud and subscription usage.

Powerful app, bought years ago and they added a lot since. Unfortunately, they also added very intrusive and insistent pushes to subscribe for 40 bucks a year. I can understand and excuse it for a free user, but I already bought the app. I don't care about the subscription service. Plus, it bugs you every time you open the app. It's very, very annoying. The app itself is fantastic, but not at $40 a year or whatever they charging, unless you're scanning an absolute MASSIVE amount of docs.

This app is now asking me to pay a monthly subscription fee after me having bought the full license to use it years ago. I bought and paid for the app to provide me with the full functionality that was available at the time. Now some of that functionality, like being able to save files locally, is only available if I pay for a subscription. This was once a high performing product with decent value that I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND now.

Great app, extremely dissapointed by the change in business model. Like many others here, I purchased the full version license several years ago and now the app is flooded with subscription ads. They should have developed another app to support the subscription model (which is something I and many others out there absolutely dispise). Uninstalled and not going back!

I paid for this app years ago and now they are requiring a monthly subscription to avoid ads. Revolting. I'll be going to one of the dozens of other competitor apps, many of which are free, including Microsoft Lens. This product is fraud at this point, as far as I'm concerned. And my opinion, honestly, is all that matters to me.

I bought the License in 2016 because I really liked the app and was willing to pay to remove ads, the watermark, and get other features. I recommend it to everyone. I haven't used the app for a while, but I started using it again recently and am ready to drop it. I can understand a business wanting to expand and change their business model, but to betray their customers who paid for the "permanent" license by removing features unless we pay more is a bad business model.

I was an early adopter of CamScanner and thought it was well worth the price of the license. But this app has changed their business strategy for the worse. When I first purchased the license, it was expensive compared to other apps - but it was worth it because nothing else could do what it did so well. Recently, after a hiatus from using the app, I opened it to scan a quick PDF, and it has changed...a lot... First, the license doesn't grant full access to the features like the app originally did - they have added quite a bit, but it's considered the "Pro" version now. So there is unlicensed, licensed, and licensed pro/premium. This still could be cool; but you register your account, and if you look at the "Upgrade" option, you'll see the a crossed out monthly price - I assume a discounted price or promotion. That price crossed out is $50 per month - that is outrageous. But if you're curious what the actual price is, click on the "get pro/premium" option and you'll see $50 per year, 3-days free trial, and auto bill to your Google account. So that's ~$5 per month - still not buying it though. If it's a promotion one year price that rolls auto bill after a year to $50 a month, then it's already presented me with more hassle than I want. The one-time fee for the license was fine by me, now it keeps alerting me to upgrade to premium at an insane price which, after a year, and if I forget to cancel the service, am I enrolled in an auto bill of $50 per month (or so it certainly implies)? If even one charge went through, at 13 months, I'd have over $100 in the app; but what about 14 months, $150+! No, that is outrageous - and certainly misleading. Even if the price is always ~$5/Mon, then present that price and that option. A one year fee at $50, just because it divides out to approx. ~$5 a month doesn't green light that as the advertised price. That's deceptive, and I don't trust this app on my phone anymore. I can find something just the same for little to no money for what I want. CamScanner used to be that app - a reasonable price, a great app. That's not the case anymore...

As many others have expressed here, I also purchased the full license when it was available, in 2012 or so. Now the features I have been using for years are no longer available unless I subscribe for a yearly fee, without notice. That said, I would have payed for a 5 or even 10 dollar yearly subscription, but trying to push for 60 is simply market blind. I'll simply switch to Google Drive to scan documents from on.

I paid for the full app early on around 2012. I was happy but not any longer. If I want to keep my features I need to buy a subscription. They have gradually removed features. I feel ripped off and very disappointed. I did enjoy features such as being able to organise scans into folders and straightening scans. This is now removed and I need to pay a large annual subscription if I want the features I have already paid for. Very unfair. Untrustworthy company.

Not cool at all changing the paid version features like that. It's pure greed and bad service. This used to be a great app with some super handy features. Now, even as a paid user, I can't choose the document's optimization, I can't upload to cloud, and in general the interface has taket about 5 steps back. Super disappointing as this was one of my most used apps.

I am unable to see the benefits of the licence. I still get nags about features available if I pay a subscription fee. The app constantly asks me if I want to put all the pictures in one convenient file and then tells me I have to pay a subscription fee; it's almost impossible to get past that point. I uninstalled and started using Google scan which does the job better and without the headache of being pestered for my money. I wouldn't recommend buying the licence or using the app.

I bought this app long time ago. It was the full version at that time with a lot of features that I was so happy to use. The company that developed the app change the licensing mode and then suddenly I was having no more the full app just the basic one. If I want all the features that I bought with the version I got basically I have to buy a subscription per year that I wont be doing. I am start looking for a good alternative for this app. This was the review I wrote years ago; this is not valid anymore. (I have been using several apps for scanning; this one is by far the best one in the market that I came across. I highly recommend this app, and if you install it you won't be regretting.)

Though the app is very useful, I have been facing immense difficulty checking in every day. Either the app/ phone hangs and I'm unable to see the check in icon, or, even after checking in, the next day I am checked in afresh. This process gets repeated frequently; thus checking in continuously for 300 days is a pipe dream. Sending feedback is another issue. The phone hangs a number of times while attempting to send the log. Difficult situation!

Stay away from this app. Used to be great, I used it everyday for work. Paid for the pro version some time ago to remove pop ups and adds as I found them distracting. But apparently it's acceptable to suddenly require a subscription to a product I've already paid for, and spam me with adds to "upgrade". All while making the user interface less intuitive and clunky. I'd give it negative stars if I could as I have no tolerance such greedy, anti-consumer practices.

I really liked this app. The interface was very great and all in all very quick. Now they want you to use their own "Scan Cloud", which personally I don't need. They've even deprecated the local backup system (now you can import local backups but you can only create one to their own servers). That isn't a good practice.

I like this app but there are also glaring issues. First, it hasn't been updated in ages and targets a VERY old and not secure API version. This is very bad. Additionally it does things like keep all images on your device which means, if a person knows where to look, they can access the original, non PDF'ed images.

CamScanner was the go-to app for us in work for scanning receipts and paperwork. We paid for the full version within about a week of trying it as it was that good. Now a few year later and even though we have the full version it is riddled with ads popups as well as notifications to upgrade to a monthly fee for more features. And again this is all in the PAID FULL VERSION. Deleted from all our phones and tablets in work and not really needed anymore as built in doc scanner in most phones now

Image processing software is great, have been using this for years. They definitely scammed everyone who got this license. It use to provide all the features which why I purchased this years ago but now it only stops ads. Now you have to pay some premium fee to get all the features? What's the point of this license then? I am very disappointed by this

paid for the license about a year back, using with premium features and no watermark. Recently, I noticed that I am back to the basic version with watermark on my scans. Very disappointed. Money is not everything. used to recommend many people to use this app. Not going to do it anymore. Reputation and trust in you is already gone.

what is up with the new terms all of a sudden? charge for "pro" version, then start charging a yearly fee for some extra features? charging once isn't enough? might look elsewhere for my scanning needs. I'd like to hear a response to this. i feel cheated. Update: It seems I'm not alone here. This app will be uninstalled. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP, OR DEVELOPER.

Scan quality is amazing. Scan receipts or pretty much anything and always have a digital copy handy. This has become my file cabinet. I create a document for each category and add scans to documents as needed. Everything is automatically organized and ready for use when needed. The app backs up files to my phone and my phone is backed up to my cloud service so I never lose files. I can't say enough about this app. The best!
