CamScanner+ iPhone App Review
RATING: 93%
Welcome to the CamScanner Plus iPhone App Review. This is West. And I hope you are enjoying the series on app reviews. So let's get straight into it.
CamScanner, if you haven't heard of it, it's an app that allows you to scan quickly and easily any type of document into your iPhone and have it converted to PDF or hi‑resolution JPEG images in order for you to then do whatever it is you want to do with it, whether it be storage or if you want to upload it to Dropbox or Google Docs or anything like that. So it's got some really great capabilities. And I use this app quite a lot.
So this screen here is the screen that comes up when you open the app. Now I'm going to give you a really quick tour of the app. I'm going to then show you and teach you how I use the app in my life in order to get the most out of it, in order to leverage my time, and in order to make full use of the app's capabilities in order to do 'more with less'—which is one of my philosophies.
So just really quickly, if we start down the bottom‑left hand corner here, this is the tab that allows you to scan something or take a photo. Or if you've already taken a photo of the document or some form of material that you'd like to use in CamScanner, then you can just tap from ALBUM. So I've already got some samples in here that I will show you. So I'll go ahead and do that. I'll just tap CANCEL. These tabs down the bottom here allow you to change the view of the documents that you have scanned. So this is just a full‑on view. And this is kind of like a list view.
This tab here, what I really love about this app is it allows you to share your documents or whatever you've scanned by wi‑fi to your computer. So if you swivel that little switch on, it gives you a little address and it allows you to directly download your documents from your iPhone to your computer over wi‑fi, which is a pretty amazing little feature that I like as an upgrade from previous versions.
Now the SETTINGS tab up here, just allows you to play around with a few of the different features of CamScanner. I'll talk more about the lighting and the magic color a little bit later on.
You get to then sync different accounts with Cam Scanner. So if you have a Dropbox account or Box.net, Evernote or Google Docs, then you can put those logins in for it to easily share it with later and a few other different features that you can have a play around with.
This feature here on the top right, once you tap it, allows you to select a certain document. And then from there, you can then choose to either share it to any one of these features or give it a tag—depending on how you want to classify your documents—or email it as a PDF. So it will automatically come up as a PDF. And you just need to type your recipient's email in and it'll email it for you, which is a very, very nice feature and very handy to have.
Now as far as the documents themselves, let's take a look at the sample here given by CamScanner staff (this comes automatically with the app as kind of like a test). Once you scan a few documents, this is the interface that it comes up with. Now firstly, you can leave notes for each one by tapping on them. It allows you to tap this little icon here and you can leave little notes to yourself on it, which is really cool.
But I want you to look at the quality of the scan. The quality of the scan is insane. Now I didn't quite understand this when I first got the app but if I just double‑tapped, it will come up. And this is actually a really big—I think it probably could be A1 or A2 size mind map—and you can see that it is just crystal clear and you can see everything as if the mind map was actually there. Now, obviously on an iPhone it's a little bit limited in the terms of the size, but the quality of the picture, considering the iPhone's camera, is insane. And what it does is it has a smart autofocus and it has a smart autocropping feature which allows you to do that so after you take a photo, it will usually allow you to crop it down.
