MOST RELAIBLE SCANNER NO MATTER WHAT!! I had to come back to Adobe PDF scanner after getting seriously burnt by another scanner which I used to use due to its simplicity and ease of use. I lost years of extremely important info with TinyScanner. I installed ADOBE PDF Scan to my new phone and saw every year the other company lost, was still here in ADOBE. Stick to the Pros. Dont take a chance like I did. Adobe is reputable. I get down with Adobe. Saves offline and backs up great. Retrieve anytim

Some feature should be free for this app to be practical and a good app to have ... like multi page scanning. Even though it's powerful and it's from Adobe it has to be practical enough without a subscription to have it on the phone. The subscription should be for those who frequently use it and use other features as well.

I love Adobe scan. Hands down its the best and easiest app I have used for scanning documents into PDF. The free version is good enough because all the things the premium version offers you can do by just exporting the pdf to your computer. It's good for books, paper size documents, ID's, business cards, etc. It let's you edit the image with lots of options like cropping, filters, or erasing. You can save to your phone, export it, and attach it to emails or text messages. No other apps compare.
