CamScanner review

CamScanner is the widest feature set among the mobile scanners, with the highest monthly price. INTSIG's App Store listing says the app recognizes text automatically with OCR and saves scans as PDF, JPG, Word or TXT, and its PDF converter handles formats from DOC and XLSX to PPTX. Scanning modes cover ID cards, passports and QR codes, and the editor adds filters, noise removal, e-signatures and password locks for folders and files. Collaboration is a strength: you can share files for comments in WhatsApp, iMessage or Microsoft Teams and get notified about activity. Scans upload to Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote and OneDrive, and you can print or fax from the app. INTSIG says 300M+ users trust CamScanner, and the listing shows 4.8 stars from 2M ratings. Two things count against it: the App Store marks the app as containing advertising, and Premium costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year in the US App Store. We compared documented features and published prices.
