JotNot Scanner App Pro for Pc

** May 2017 Update: STILL my favorite scanner. I've tried others. the app's GUI still looks a little old-fashioned, but it works great. End Update** So much more convenient than a scanner. I often use it to attach paper info to our electronic docs at work. (Sometimes I’ll send a the app doc to SignNow for my digital signature.) So useful that I've gifted this app to others. And I use it as a demo when showing off my iPhone. I've seen reviews which question the need for this app when you can “just take a snapshot of a document with your camera app”. To which I think: Sure…and you can scribble your business plans on napkins, too. That will work, right up until you want to bring someone else into your project. In business, you're judged by your presentation just as you are by your clothes. Your credibility is on the line. I frequently share these scanned docs, so I want them to look good. Automatic squaring of corners, autosensing of borders, autocropping — these make your snapshots look like real documents. But the best feature is the automatic variable contrast across the whole image. That's what changes a “photo of a paper” into something that looks like a paper. Something that can be printed on a laser printer and look great. Something easy to read, with black text on a white background, from edge to edge. the app Pro is brilliant. And indispensable.

i just want to say as a customer who has used this app for 4+ YEARS that it was a one-stop-solution to my occasional send to fax machine needs. i have used it probably >100 times for important business-related faxes & never had a problem with it ever. it’s so convenient when i’m stranded with only my iphone but i need someone to receive a traditional fax in the office. i know it costs money to send to a landline but it’s totally worth whatever they charge. because it will get there. period. and it even generates a cover sheet. people have no idea that i’m sending “scans” that are really just pics from my phone. it’s been 4-5 years since i started using this app so there might be better, newer, maybe even free ways to send faxes now. but if you want the best and the most reliable, then this is your app.

This app is so easy to use. It is simple but does an amazing job with edges and legible print that you can lighten or darken. I use it on receipts while still at the store in case I lose them later. I have used other scanner apps and they are so picky about lighting and will even save a slanted document whereas the app straightens it out before saving. My printer scanner is the only thing that “equals” the quality of the app and going into another room, waiting for it to warm up and then stand there while scanning (plus it isn’t portable) is a pain when I can relax in a chair and scan documents with the app. Worth every penny. Paid for the pro version. Let’s you rename and save to other apps and even “files” (the iOS cloud filing app). Love this app!!!

I bought this app because my home office scanning function wasn’t working on my printer and I was desperate. To my surprise it was easy to use and produces a pretty clear image. I’ve found myself using it beyond my work needs and it has been so convenient to have accessible on my phone. I didn’t realize how often I would use it while out such as scanning an insurance card to send to my husband or a form to submit to my daughter’s school. The only drawback I’ve found is that if the paper I am scanning is not flat, because it’s been folded or wrinkled, it will distort the image. It is generally not a major problem but if you need a super straight image, you lose the ability to “flatten” the paper with a traditional scanner lid or feeder.
