Team review

" Powerful document scanner. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.2 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than two MB enough to keep it on his device and turn it on.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review Cool app and well worth a few dollars by anonym
I would recommend this app however i have the paid version on my tablet and it refuses to recognise this on my phone it tried to make me pay again please tell me how i can sort this out handy scanner thank you. I look at other competitors and developers answer within days. This had been two weeks now and nothing. I have paid the product and just don't want to pay again. Please help 4/5

Positive review Xperia Z1 by anonym
Nice app ! But we want more improvement ie., crystal clear pdf document. 4/5
Positive review Handy scanning by anonym
This handy little scanner does the trick and is cheaper than buying a scanner for my computer. 4/5
Positive review Near perfection by anonym
I love this app! Saves me so much time. It is crazy easy to use, very intuitive. Does exactly what it should with some extras. It would be well worth the purchase. My only criticism is corner detection is could be better. 5/5
Neutral review Works ok but over complete by anonym
New update of google drive does exvellent job of scanning something into pdf and directly in google drive. 3/5
Positive review Dope by anonym
I love this app I don't like that it's limited to 3 docs. I need multiple docs on a pdf at A time and 3 won't do it. 5/5
Positive review Does just what i need by anonym
Take a picture, crop it, then save it as PDF. What could be easier? I use it to save receipts. 4/5
Negative review Useful tool but... by anonym
The end result is NOT a .pdf file but an instead an image saved as .pdf which is pretty lame. And, don't be fooled by the language.. the description says save as .pdf or .jpeg and YES I know the difference. Other than that it does have an easy to use user interface (UI) and stitches the images together which is nice for multiple page letters, contracts, etc... which is the only reason I gave 2 stars. Come up with a true, editable, .pdf scanner and you'll get 5 stars across the board! 2/5
Negative review Unreadable by anonym
Easy to use, emailed it to my inbox quickly, pictures were really nice. Unfortunately the text was totally unreadable. Tried 3 times but no difference. Uninstalling it. 1/5
Positive review Photocopier on my phone by anonym
I've tested loads of similar apps. This one seems the best I've come across so far. Lots of print options. I love how it can transform your document scans into a traditional photocopy. Very legible and great for printing. 5/5
Negative review Useless when it comes to sharing by anonym
Scanned first documents - was easy and it looked great, but evey time I tried to email it to myself, the email arrived without the pdf attached. Not going to waste any more time on this one. 1/5
Positive review Serious life saver for business. by anonym
Point click edit and name. I can move to google docs and read in adobe reader. Love it and get for archiving anything I need. 5/5
Negative review Costing me money by anonym
This app worked great until auto updates on new phone allowed them to limit its abilities. The time wasted trying to get it to work earns them a $70 bill. Please send cash 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Excellent app that does all that you would want it to do and more. No more need for a scanner, just my phone. Solid 5/5
Neutral review Not bad, but not great. by anonym
I wanted to like this app, but CamScanner sets the benchmark. This app has poor autocrop, but good manual crop selection. It does not have comparable post-processing image improvement, which is the most important thing. 3/5
Neutral review Used to be GREAT now not so much. by anonym
As with a lot of apps, once they go through updates, everything we love about the app ceases to exist and the app looses functionality or gains limitations. In Camera mode after taking 4 snaps it NOW displays, an UPGRADE to pro pop-up. If you cancel it, it destroys any images you snapped. In Picture mode, it loads in a pic, processes it but only saves it as a JPG file and NOT a PDF like it used to. What makes it somewhat useful is it still auto detects corners, corrects perspective, and enhances images for fax, colour print or b/w printing. Even as a JPG file and not a PDF. No biggy really. I save the image to HDD and drag it into Chrome to print to PDF. (8 megapixel camera set at max resolution) 3/5
Positive review Just started using by anonym
I was able to scan a picture into a PDF and then export it to Google drive. I also use it for scanning my travel receipts. It is free and it works nuff said. 4/5
Negative review Buggy sharing by anonym
You spend time installing and scanning files, and in the end you can do nothing with them. Sharing through any mean fails consistently with random files about every other one. Useless and supremely annoying. 1/5
Positive review Awesome by anonym
I work away from office kst of the time so needed a fast way to get Info back to bookkeeper. Just downloaded and put it to work. Awesome!! So far no problems. Will give five star if no problems after I have used more. Tuanks for great app! 4/5
Negative review Totally Rubbish! by anonym
The icon on my screen keeps taking me to efax.com install which I find absolutely intrusive and annoying. I have no recourse to get rid of this bullish of an app but to simply delete. Garbage! 1/5
Positive review Awesome! by anonym
I love this app. It is easy to use, has excellent quality and let's you work "on the go". I couldn't live without it! 5/5
Positive review Great but... by anonym
Works great with images snapped by Camera app, but it can't seem to use the camera from within the app itself. Won't focus & aspect ratio is wrong. Otherwise excellent 4/5
Negative review So many limits.. Crippled. by anonym
Ads and rating nags and "go pro" ads and watermarks and also limits on the number of pages? Limited, free versions are fine, but when they are so crippled as to be useless, and so intrusive to use, the dev had already lost any chance for me to buy the pro version. 2/5
Positive review by anonym
This is vety good and easy for everyone. Just one hand I was able to scan my document. This is really good I. Enjoy using this app because it make my work very easy. 5/5
Positive review Great and easy to use app by anonym
I think this app is much better in producing flat images that are watermark free with jpg option for saving. Simply great, thanks so much:) 4/5
Negative review Terribly blurred docs...don't waste your time on the free edition by anonym
I downloaded this app seeing its popularity on my MI3.. the UI is quite intuitive and the functioning is quick However, the scanned documents were blurred I first checked if there was some problem with the camera...however, it clicked perfect pictures otherwise... So I realized that the scanner app itself was making the pictures blurred, to force users to buy the app...what a waste of time!! 1/5
Negative review Advertises itself as free, then loses your images by anonym
Completely unethical outfit. Know in advance that you will lose 4 out of 5 images that you think you're capturing with this supremely unreliable app. Handy Scanner lists itself as a free app on Android Market only to stop taking pics, demand payment, then lose the images that it indicated it captured. If Halfmobile wants to charge for its app, it should say so instead of baiting & switching with its shoddy gimmick that fails users who Halfmobile lead to believe was free. Fail. Go elsewhere, never to Halfmob 1/5
Positive review Good app, but mediocre image quality. by anonym
Quality of image could be better. Regular photo is too dark, but print ready setting can be too contrasty, making a subtle shadow on page appear black. But overall, a convenient & useful app. I tried a couple others & this was the best out there. 4/5
Neutral review So far so good... by anonym
I've only had it a couple of days, but I like it so far. Beats having to run to the Xerox store every 2 hours 3/5
Positive review Love It! by anonym
A few people have complained about the free version in that you're only able to save 3 documents and that's it. I just email them to my email address and delete the documents off of my tablet. This thing works great and replaces the cost of purchasing a pdf creator which happens to cost a lot more than well.. free! Docs seem to come out clear and just as good as the scanner in our office. No complaints here. Then again, I'd have a hard time complaining about any thing that is free. 4/5
Positive review For limited daily use - excellent by anonym
A very useful app, perfect for scanning documents and all other bits and pieces. I find this app incredibly easy and useful, and despite there being a daily cap of 'scans', I have not found myself in a situation of wanting more. Ideal for regular, casual use from experience. 5/5
Negative review Fuzzy scans. Unacceptable by anonym
Scans come out fuzzy, when using flash or non-flash for letter paper-size scans. Can only get "Medium" resolution with free version, can't test whether paid version (high high resolution) is any better. I'm looking further. 2/5
Positive review Very useful by anonym
I'm happy with this app because is very easy to use and now has a good improvement. The only thing I'd like to have more clear is how to switch from multiscan (more than a 1 sheet) to one to one sheet. 4/5
Neutral review Not very good by anonym
Initially after seeing the reviews I decided to download this app but it does nothing new other than an interface to crop your image and color optimisation (which I didn't like) so there is still a lot of space for improvement 3/5
Negative review THIS APP IS NOT "FREE" by anonym
You are only limited to a small amount of pictures.. Do not waste your space on your device? 1/5
Positive review Essential !!! Better than the real thing ;) by anonym
1. You should add a "get our pro version" button somewhere. You'll lose customers without it. 2. You may want to replace your corner detection with side/line detection. Corners are usually more crumbled, while the page sides are (in my experience) more accurately detectible. Going pro version now! 5/5
