Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Disappointed

    By PolandSprings (Pcmac user)

    Trying to downsize but this app has issues. Shows “processing” for days same document and the only way to stop it is to delete the document. Also I have set up my mail but it continuously asks me to set up my mail when I try to email to myself. Hope there is a way to fix this! Also, if I try to scan a document while the “processing” wheel is spinning, the app closes. I was forced to delete a document I no longer have a hard copy of.
  • Expensive for the lack of efficiency

    By mnichols-sd (Pcmac user)

    If all you’re looking for is the ability to occasionally scan a PDF/file/image to attach to an email, this works great. However, if you’re using it everyday for something like scanning receipts, there are too many steps to go through for each receipt. Each receipt requires that you scan, crop, name, upload for OCR (which asks to choose the language every time, then wait while the document uploads), then when the OCR is done, save it to my iCloud account (which has multiple screens to jump through to find the iCloud Drive). It’s too time consuming for me. If it was $8 a year, I might not complain, but I won’t renew my subscription unless they offer a way to make these manual steps automatic each time I scan a new receipt.
  • Excellent in most ways

    By Alanakate (Pcmac user)

    Really a nice app, so I'm willing to put up with some quirks. One of them: since it snaps pix automatically, there are some misses. You can't delete these from a doc until after you've saved it, which is not intuitive. On the other hand, the advantages of auto scans far outweigh the disadvantages. I use FineScanner to upload scans to Dropbox, which works great. The scans are excellent quality and you can tweak color, quality, and contrast. I don't know how FineScanner compares with other scanner apps because it has always done what I needed it to do and done it well, so I haven't felt the need to look elsewhere.
  • Reduced to a subpar advertising ad with nags

    By WHRHS-65 (Pcmac user)

    This latest version is a dumbed down piece of junk, slipped together with its only intent to make you PAY for the earlier ease of use I came to applaud. Stay away. Do NOT upgrade to this version. A slap in the face to us by crass consumerism, this only leads me to believe the company was purchased by someone else who saw an opportunity to stick their grubby hands in our wallets. *********. UPDATE *********. April 30, 2019 There has been a greatly improved release that, so far, eclipses the earlier release and shows great promise of flexibility for the user. Kudos to the developer and team for an app worthy of my Top Ten Best.
