Scanner App review
A capable iPhone scanner for multilingual OCR, signatures, IDs, and offline workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Scanner App is an iPhone document-scanning application for people who need more than basic camera capture. It combines automatic edge detection, cropping, perspective correction, enhancement, multi-page scanning, OCR, signatures, and document organization in one app. Its support for more than 50 languages makes it particularly suitable for multilingual paperwork, while ID, passport, driver's license, and business-card scanning add specialized workflows for personal and professional documents.
The feature set is broad for a mobile scanning app. Users can search documents by recognized text on the device, export TXT, and create files in PDF, JPG, or PNG formats. Folders, tags, and full-text search support ongoing organization rather than one-off scans. PDF signing with saved signatures is also included. Processing and local storage work offline, which suits situations where connectivity is limited. For sharing and cloud storage, Scanner App supports iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, AirPrint, Email, iMessage, and WhatsApp.
Scanner App uses a freemium model with a free plan and a three-day free trial. Premium Weekly and Premium Yearly include unlimited scans, OCR, signatures, and advanced features, while Premium Lifetime includes premium features. The app is a strong fit for iPhone users who want multilingual OCR, offline processing, specialized document capture, and several export or sharing paths. It is less suitable for Android users or teams seeking a cross-platform scanning workflow, since the listed platform is iOS only. Buyers should also review the current in-app premium offering before choosing a plan.
