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.

Quality of text on the scan is barely readable. I tried many settings and filter without effect. Apparently it is widely reported online in the past few months but the issue has not been fixed yet (at least for me) My phone camera is good, the issue is in the app itself. Note that taking a picture with the camera app and importing it in adobe produces better results

The Adobe Scan app is so user friendly & very easy to use. I love that I can easily scan documents from my phone that actually look very professional like it was actually done with a scanner. When taking a picture I always think it looks too far away & think it won't look good but then Adobe does it's magic & makes the document look great and easy to read. I love that you don't have to pay for a subscription to use this app, but but can pay to use extra tools if you want. 5 star rating!!

To complicated to scan and turn a photography of a hand written letter into a text document. We should be able to take the photography of the handwritten letter, take the picture and select convert to text and print it. Instead you have us doing this and that and going here and there to do what should be simple, now 24 years, into the 21st century. It's frustrating to say the least. Make user friendly!

Makes scanning so easy. Very intuitive. The document setting makes things foolproof and very professional. Many times, a scanned document is the only acceptable form an organization will accept. This used to be such a hassle, needing a super complicated machine with terrible software. Now, only a smartphone is required. Love this app!!

Scanned the document I needed into a PDF file, no problem. No problem, that is, as long as I only want it to be a HYPOTHETICAL PDF file, and not something I can actually access. I've tried saving a copy to my device over and over and it can't be found and I'm over it. Now I'm looking for a PDF scanner app that will actually give me the damn file when I'm done. Adobe sucks so bad, why is the USA so obsessed with them???

I appreciate how I am able to pick up Adobe scan after a year not using it, and I am able to follow the intuitive interface to scan and create documents from multiple pages. Not swamped with ads, have not experienced bugs or issues. Another nice feature is in the conversion to PDF my handwriting is made a bit bolder and easier to read on a screen.

Can't save new PDFs no real explanation except exceeded storage limits. Huh? There's like 12 files here and i can't delete half of them. I'm don't want to store this in the cloud anyway but that's not an option. Not even a hint of how much space i need to free up. For gids sake, Dropbox had this from the get go. Some files i tried to delete simply give the error that i can't delete them. No, you don't have permission (they're my own personal files), morning but a useless message that I can't.
