Easily scan documents at your fingertips
PDF Document Scanner is a business and productivity application developed by a small software company, ViewAI Lab. This app provides a mobile document scanner wherein you can quickly scan PDF or JPG in the highest quality possible with a single tap. Using the phone camera of your android device, you will be able to instantly scan any kind of paper documents—certificates, business contracts, receipts, notes, etc.—either in single or batch mode, whichever you prefer.
Aggressive ads and tricky trial version
PDF Document Scanner is immensely rich with useful features. It enables you to utilize filters that could help you ensure that the text and graphics in your scanned document are clear and readable enough. With just a simple tap, you could apply these filters to all document pages. If you have a huge library of files, you can use any keyword to easily find the particular document you are looking for.
Sending emails, posting to social networks, saving pictures in albums—these methods enable you to efficiently send documents in PDF or JPG format. However, despite the valuable features it provided, many still find this disappointing mainly because of its tricky trial version subscription and extremely forced ads. It offers a free 3-day trial version that auto-renews and charges you immediately once the period ends. It can be canceled, however, the process is quite difficult especially for first-time users.
The trial version that you have signed up for must be canceled in your Google Play settings within 24 hours of the end of the current period. Non-tech savvy users will be the ones who’ll mostly suffer from this type of subscription. Thus, if you are one of those, it is recommended for you to download a different mobile scanner instead. Moreover, the ads in this app are extremely hard to close, forcing you to watch ’til the end.
Feature-packed but misleading
With the performance and feature set that it showcases, PDF Document Scanner should be a good steal. However, the unusually high number of intrusive ads and a somewhat tricky trial version it gives is a major turn off and will probably have prospective new users thinking twice. It would extremely be great if the developers revamp this kind of subscription model or just make it easy for the users to cancel.
