Microsoft Lens: PDF Scanner for Positive User Reviews
✓ Super Quick and SimpleUsed it to scan archives my old invoice, super quick and link to OneDrive I can download easily. Pity about a 10 page limit per document but simply start a new one and merge them on my Mac..Version: 1.5.1
✓ This is the oneI’ve tried quite a few scanning apps but this is the best. Very easy to use. I especially like the way you can manually line up the corners of documents yourself. The apps without this feature sometimes get confused about where the bottom of the page is and miss out stuff at the bottom like page numbers..Version: 2.70
✓ VersatileHad this for ages and took a while to get it all set up. Once it's done though, it works effortlessly and am using it more and more.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ 10/10Works so good - isn’t complicated, crops perfect. The added filter option makes it POP so much and makes the documents super easy to read.Version: 2.72
✓ Writing presentationsGreat workflow, draw, snap, crop, select OneDrive and it’s on the PC for dropping into the document. Of course they all need drawing properly later, but the speed of working is what matters when you want to stay in a creative zone.Version: 2.59.4
✓ BestBest scanner app in the world.Version: 2.72
✓ BrilliantI love this thing it’s great and it’s free sure you can get apps like Iscanner but that does work half as well, it’s in black and white, doesn’t process images to just the right size and shape, the text is hardly discernible and it costs from 4.50 to a pound a month now I’m not saying iScanner is bad it’s not. but this, this is incredible, all of the things mentioned above it does. It’s awesome, well done Microsoft. Bill Gates and the Microsoft team good on you yet another amazing thing you’ve done for our incredible planet. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future :) ;).Version: 2.10.1
✓ Best scanner everThanks for all the work done. Congratulations team, this app is the best one available to scanner documents. Fast, simple, high quality and guess what? It's free!!!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ An absolute must-have for anyone.This app has saved me countless hours. If I could rate it 6 stars, I would. Every single person should have this, especially if you’re in business..Version: 2.6.17101103
✓ Occasional problems but a great appI have had issues with this app and there is room for improvement with it… but generally it is an amazing app that I recommend to many..Version: 2.51
✓ Great for travel expenses and whiteboardingI LOVE this app! When I’m traveling it’s makes tracking expenses unbelievably easy to document and email to my expense account. And for whiteboards I’ve always used it to save the messy thought process if a good meeting. Somethings when it’s transcribed to notes you miss how the ideas flowed. My coworker said it looked like I scanned a piece of paper. Also a quick tip to remove glare and bad markers try applying the black and white filter to make the work pop (if you dont need colors)..Version: 2.50.2
✓ Does this work with iOS 15? YesEdit: Microsoft have now fixed it! Love this app usually but since I moved to iOS 15.0.2 on my phone, it crashes when I try to export a pdf to OneDrive. It does the same on my son’s phone too - different accounts. Please fix because the app is so useful!.Version: 2.54.2
✓ Needs a name changeI love this app, but it needs to be called scan. I always forget the word lens and it takes ages to find the app again..Version: 2.54.4
✓ Such a brilliant app - straight from 007Remember those 1960s spy movies with the camera snapping secret documents onto microfilm. Well this is the 21st c. version, making either photos or pdf, and squaring up from any angle so you can circumvent glare or bad lighting angles. And it’s free and free of adverts..Version: 2.66.4
✓ Capture that whiteboard notesThis is an amazing app for capturing whiteboard notes. The best thing is that you can take the image from a wide range of angles. 5 stars right there. Then it also does a beat job of enhancing the output - another 5 stars. Only thing is that you have to sign into a Microsoft account for some of the sharing functions to work. Works great with One Drive, my Mac and iPhone..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great Dev AppOur product development includes many many white boards. This app has made documenting process quick and easy. Snap a photo and attach..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Easy to useLove it fantastic app, so good I put it on my daughters phone for school now she doesn't worry about missing any information on the whiteboard..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ So easyPerfect for snapping whiteboard diagrams, receipts, documents and other pictures you need to record. I love how it straightens the picture when I have snapped the target from an angle, get it, you won't be disappointed!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ AmazingSo handy that I don't even need my scanner anymore, thx.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very useful, quick and quality scansRecommend it. I use it scan my receipts into OneDrive. Wondering if they could be integration options as in scan to a third party app/cloud service..Version: 1.3
✓ Numérisation de documents.Fonctionne parfaitement pour numériser toute la documentation que je veux avoir disponible sur OneDrive..Version: 2.77.1
✓ A must have AppI have used this app at meetings, conferences and with colleagues documents and I really appreciate this app. And is my go to app regards any record evidence. Much appreciated!!!.Version: 1.3
✓ Fantastic for student notesAccurate and easy to use. I use this app to scan handouts and documents as a PDF’s or jpg’s to drop quickly into notability, goodnotes 5, Nebo and elsewhere. Even if the original quality is average most times I can get a usable image. I can snap an image quickly, (best with the flash if possible to eliminate shadows). The app squares it up automatically. You can quickly alter the edit if you wish. I save it to the photo roll and drop it where I want. The pics are sharp, clear. Ready for mark up notes, signatures or what ever I need. I’ve tried others. Nothing comes close. I don’t use the ocr or whiteboard function so I cant comment on that. No subscription needed, no ads. Full functionality comes if you use Word and PowerPoint. Best I’ve found for my needs. It’s become an important part of my daily workflow. (I use the app on an iPad Air 4 with the plastic stick).Version: 2.57.2
✓ Almost perfectEverything works well enough for daily uses. I use it to scan and store most paper notes, receipts, documents, magazine clips... Most of the times the app detects the boundaries of the document and automatically crops the scanned image to remove unwanted background. However, sometimes when the contrast between the background and the document is not high enough and/or the light level is low, the app cannot tell where the boundaries are and keeps switching around and snaps on to the wrong boundary lines. I try to move & adjust the phone to different angles & positions to get the app to snap on the correct boundaries but before I can hit the button it switches away to the wrong ones again. If it cannot determine where the correct boundaries are then it should just pick one and allow the user to cycle through the options until he/she finds the correct one. Miscrosoft should add the annotate option after the picture is taken to hi-lite, circle, underline or add a quick note to the scanned image..Version: 2.6.17101103
✓ Still working and learning Lens.I personal have sight problems at this time. But I have been so happy with Lens and have been teaching others the benefits of its operations along. The benefits it will serve all of us as I try develop a program that helps those who try live with other’s. Or family members who leave the nest and yet, need assistance or accountability even to their own projects, business or budgeting. Myself I have been happy with Lens. I would like to spend more time learning its benefits and will do so in my free time. We all will need to spend more time using Lens as we tried using other programs. But have been very confused why they haven’t been as good quick and yes once you dive in it’s what most of us we’ll need. Now understanding I haven’t went to let’s say the deep end yet! . But taking the time and learning how easy it has been to date. I have been very happy now if I can others to see the benefits. We will be using the high diving board in no time. Thanks it’s been great I hope I can show a few others how one day hopefully we will be using like we use text … thanks again for asking. I give it four stars check back let’s see . Thanks and take care! sUn¡!Δ23603 ♾️.Version: 2.70
✓ If its from MS, should be goodI invite everyone to try this great app. I have been using this for a while now and it is quite handy in the absence of a physical document scanner or when you are out and about… thanks MS..Version: 2.59.4
✓ LensLens has helped my with my school work and I couldn’t have don it without lens that’s why I give it five star rating..Version: 2.52.1
✓ Great appGreat for scanning business cards, sending info to OneNote. Good for whiteboards to with background removal..Version: 2.69
✓ Works wellI really enjoy using this app. I snap all receipts now and store them digitally. Receipts printed on thermal paper don't last as we know. Thank you to the developer for coming up with this simple app that really works. Regards..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Path to a Paperless LifeThis app is fantastic. I use it all of the time to rid paper-based documents from my life. The captures look pretty great, and they actually look like scanned documents. I've also used it to "scan" my entire family photo album (thousands of photos). It took some time to complete, but this app made the process pretty effortless..Version: 2.11
✓ Great for adding docs to one noteExcellent use it a lot for transferring docs to one note.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Great UpdateWith the new update allowing you to adjust borders it is even better than before and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of downloading it.Version: 2.37.1
✓ Best app availableI have tried pretty much every app for converting photos to text and this one is by far the best and easiest to use..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Privacy screen onlyAs others have commented, privacy page only showing with no way to exit or use the app. The app was previously very good. Hope this is being fixed back to 5star status..Version: 2.39
✓ The bestBest scanning app i have ever used.Version: 2.7.17112101
✓ Pocket scanner😃😃😃I've been using this for nearly a month for scanning my homeworks and notes. It gives a clear image and does make it easier to read the document.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Frustrated after the latest updateSo I recently updated the Lens app on my iPad. Since then I have a page about how they updated things and I should review my privacy options. I can click to Learn more but that sends me to safari. The page is cut off and I can’t move past this screen. So basically the app is useless. Why? This is frustrating but I guess it’s time to migrate to another app..Version: 2.39
✓ Great scanning appFor documents/pictures/whiteboards. I’ve been using office lens for several years now and have been very happy with the flexibility and the accuracy. I’ve tried many scanning apps and stuck with office lens. I have given 5 stars, until the last update. The one thing that took a turn for the worse is the fact that I can’t adjust the borders with a zoomed in view. Previously I was able to pinch-zoom in while adjusting the borders so that I can see exactly where I’m making the border without losing text. With the latest update I’ve lost the ability and need to guess and hope I don’t lose any text. The auto recognition of borders has gotten better, but still is not accurate always. That’s when I want to use the zoom in. Hope the ability gets added back..Version: 2.37.2
✓ Pretty good, could be betterI use this app a lot. It does a pretty good job but the interface is poor and takes some getting used to. It’s free, so.. 5 stars..Version: 2.66.4
✓ Office lensLove it!! Has helped me capture so many important whiteboards and Flipchart information from meetings and workshops..Version: 1.1
✓ Missing out words completely & multiple pagesI have been using this app with my daughter who struggles reading. We like the immersive reader as it helps with reading out the document or book. We have noticed that we are loosing words completely. Also need to do one picture at a time not sure how to do multiple photos?? Any ideas how to stop the reader missing out words would be really helpful, mainly the words beginning with ‘m’ Overall we are pleased with the ability to take pictures of words of paragraphs and have them read aloud. We are mainly using the phone and tablet. So any tips please bare this in mind..Version: 2.24
✓ So usefulStores high quality captures automatically onto my onedrive... Love it.Version: 1.3
✓ Extremely Clunky InterfaceScanning and auto detecting document type works well however I struggle to upload the document in correct format or correct location. I am a very tech savvy guy but still find the interface of this app to be extremely clunky and difficult to understand the flow. A neater interface with a step by step wizard to understand the flow of capturing to uploading will really help!!.Version: 2.52.1
✓ I keep trying others and keep coming back to Office LensNot being a Microsoft fan I keep trying other scanning apps in hopes of shifting. For better or for worse, I download and use other apps for a little while, get fed up with their quirks, and reinstall Office Lens. It’s solid and they actually keep improving it (more than can be said for way too many apps). It’s become very smart about document borders and provides far more output options than most (into photos, pdf, mail, etc, etc). All in all, the most useful doc scanner app yet..Version: 2.37.2
✓ Brilliant app to have!Most of my documents scanning and specially the business card mode is awesome feature.. you can have the digital business card option with this. Really recommend to anyone who is planning to have one for scan documents and business cards.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Terrible security risks of this appI just found any scanned files with this app will automatically generate a embedded links and shared online without telling users! I have some files shared online to everyone with the link, either they just get the link by accident or they hacked. It is terrible! Microsoft cannot do this with telling users! There are complaints about this risk hole has been reported several years, and Microsoft just didn’t do anything! Stop using this app until the company really take care of information security of users!.Version: 2.45.1
✓ Good appGood, at the beginning it’s a bit difficult to operate but easy to understand after a bit of use.Version: 2.53.1
✓ Big files trickyMore pages and the file size goes up and it dosent process, otherwise pretty cool.Version: 2.59.4
✓ Can’t upload to OneDrive!This type of app should make a tedious, frustrating job easier. Office Lens makes it more tedious and more frustrating. Since first installing the app I was always on edge if I will be able to upload a document with dozens of pages. It randomly asks me to sign in again (even when I am already signed in to multiple Microsoft apps on the same device). Right now I am stuck in a loop where it prompts me to sign in every time I try to upload this document to One Drive, and this is it for me. I am not scanning another 10 pages if I am not sure that I will be able to save them anywhere as a pdf document. This is awfull..Version: 2.37.1
✓ Definitely recommendOne more good creation from Microsoft. This application is far better then any other paid applications available in the app store. I would highly recommend this application to the user.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Great app, pls stop photos covering screen assets.The photos keeps expanding and very annoying to have to close it and it will automatically re expands itself again. Fix this will be five stars..Version: 2.33
✓ Great for documents, screenshots etcEasily frames the content that's important. A must have utility.Version: 1.5
✓ So EasyCrops brilliantly, don't forget to scroll down the options, because store as a photo is right down the bottom..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great for scanning docs!Using to scan docs! Easy and quick! … also free…. :).Version: 2.72
✓ Good app, could use some customisation optionsI pretty much use this app everyday, to scan documents and receipts. It would be fantastic to let us customise the file name conventions, storage options, tagging, etc..Version: 2.53.1
✓ This app has always had my backYou really don’t need a scanning machine if you have a little patience and this app. Most of the time a scanning machine isn’t available so this is all you have to create a pdf anyway. I have used this for years and years and have never ever been disappointed. I do not write reviews but when this app straightened out a picture I took from an odd angle to make a pdf like I was standing in front of the whiteboard automatically, I was moved to write something to show my appreciation. I thought, wouldn’t it be great if it could…but nah it can’t do that…and, lo and behold, it did!.Version: 2.72
✓ Office lensAbsolutely brilliant. Works extremely well for whiteboards and documents. Limitations around focusing when taking photos of small items. I have recommended this to everyone including students..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Preferred doc scan appMy most preferred document scanner app as it provides all the basic options that you would need for scanning all types of documents. You would only need a Microsoft account if you want to save files in OneDrive or else you can download it and good to go straight away..Version: 2.54.4
✓ Great appBeen using this for a few years. They fixed all the earlier bugs and this thing is amazing now!.Version: 2.59.4
✓ Amazing app, use it ALL the timeHighly recommend.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Great PDF ScannerSo much better than other free scanners I’ve used. Fast and easy..Version: 2.72
✓ Way better than any Adobe PDF scan app.Main thing is the features are not hidden behind a paywall!.Version: 2.66.4
✓ Works really wellA very handy tool for capturing whiteboards and documents with easy upload to Onedrive or Onenote etc..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Does camera scanning for free !I’ve Been testing a few of these camera scanning apps and they all try to coerce the user for paying in order to unlock the full experience, however Office lens offers the same premium features for free! With a simplistic design layout that allows to save to pretty much all cloud or internal storage options that are available, I honestly don’t know why people are complaining because it does the job..Version: 2.24
✓ Great App, but ...Why, for heavens sake, is the scanning process not automatic ? I have given up using it as I wobble every time I try to hit the button ! Miss it, though. Dear Microsoft, I am a great supporter of Microsoft having used your products probably for some 35 years now. Your iPad apps are great, particularly One Drive, very many thanks. But can I please beg you to put an automatic option into your Lens scanning app. as I have a muscular problem and my “wobbles” and hand weakness mean that I cannot use the app.. And I am sick and tired of using Adobe Scan as I never know where they have put the files. Very many thanks..Version: 2.59.4
✓ Perfect app and great efficiency with little suggestionsDear Microsoft team, Thanks a lot for developing this scanning App and let it free. It’s very simple, easy and high efficient scanning software on IOS. Found a bug for last version that App would crash and exit when users were trying to select save path for pdf; and you guys fix up only after few days. May I please offer a suggestion? Regarding scanning file quality and size, it looks we have to use “high quality” by default and need to choose another each time for each individual file if we want medium quality. Would it possible to make it optional, say we can set a default file quality for all? Thanks very much again. BR, LZ.Version: 2.54.4
✓ IncredibleGod bless you for this app never thought I would say this. But I have very difficult german book with the low printed quality but its is ok for this app!!! Word by word. Clear. Great..Version: 2.51
✓ Microsoft’s Lens’ review by small business peopleIt took a few minutes to understand how to work the App, and the first times I attempted to include the photos of business cards into my contacts App the App dropped/turned off. Luckily, it saved the information so I was able to correctly add the information into my Contact’s App (I believe, because i haven’t check my Contacts’ App yet to verify it worked - because Lens’ request to submit this review popped up while I was about to do exactly that). It took less than five attempts to get this App to work as promoted, so I’m not too bothered by the work I had to contribute to make Lens work with my Microsoft Outlook account. I do hope they keep improving this App, because it would be so helpful to quickly and completely include the information onto our Microsoft 365/OneDrive apps. High hopes for Microsoft’s Lens App! JC, SlingGuru™️.Version: 2.72
✓ Receipts and More!Of the all the receipts I have already scanned and are still finding, although I no longer work where I used to, as far as their reimbursable policy goes, whether the supplies that, were needed I did not put in for, end up being a post employment donation to write off next year come tax time or they cut me a check, this application is so awesome! Even more awesome is the fact that it is not only for receipts and has different settings for documents, business cards and others! Impressed - does not do this awesome app justice. Surprised by this additional excellence from Microsoft - not in the least! Thank you!.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Not Easy to UseI cannot collate documents. They get dumped into OneDrive as separate pages. So if you scan multiple documents they all get mixed up. I’ll continue with genius scan. It’s much better..Version: 2.56.1
✓ Does what it says. Very clever little appIs good for getting docs or photos onto phone suitable for lots of things. Only downside is the occasional ad. Has some very clever software behind it to for auto-cropping and re-shaping pictures. Recommend it. Knocked off the 5th star for the ads..Version: 1.0.1
✓ MS LensMS Lens is great.Version: 2.52.1
✓ So very flawed with MFA accountsI really wanted to like this. We’ve invested heavily into the 365 ecosystem yet this app has one major flaw. If you have MFA enabled and use the Authenticator app you end up in a loop unable to log into your account. So frustrating!! I’ve emailed the developer as requested taking my time to provide screenshots and steps taken and the email address given bounces back 🙁.Version: 2.44.4
✓ No brainerI don't know what I was doing without this app. So much so that lately I've been jumping on the whiteboard in meetings just so I can take a photo. Best part is I don't have to walk to the middle of the board to take it, any angle works..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Awesome app!Super useful in any meeting or with whatever you need saved. Together with OneNote works like a gem! 👌 If you haven’t scanned that pile of business cards with this app do it right now!.Version: 2.5.17090602
✓ I love this app, but...I really like this app. I've been using it for two years now. First on an Samsung phone, now on a iPhone. I use it everyday to submit assignments for school. There is one thing that I find extremely annoying. When I first got the app on my Samsung new files would just be automatically named what ever the date and time was. This was nice because it meant I never had to name the files and it was easy to figure out when a file was made. When I switched to iOS it worked like this for a little bit, maybe a month or so. But then it broke. Now if I take a scan, the go to the screen where you choose where to save the file to, the will be title is not updated. It shows the title being the date and time of the last time it was updated. The only way I've found to make it update is delete the automaticly set title and leave it blank, it then will title the page correctly. I know that it's just a little bug, but it used to work. I don't remember exactly when this started happening but it was about 8 months ago. Please fix this. It's the only issue with this app that I've encountered..Version: 2.47
✓ Extremely useful appI have been using the Lens for a month or so and it has been great. It has a lot more features than I thought and once I did a bit of searching how to use specific bits it’s been great. I particularly like the multi page PDF saving to OneDrive. Fantastic for keeping receipt or manuals for things I’ve bought. All up very very impressive simple to use and now used daily..Version: 2.6.17101103
✓ Very usefulI love this tool for my work. Very easy to use and very good at all the time..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Sometimes the camera freezes on the appOnce frozen can take up to 30 seconds to resume. Never used to happen with the older version.Version: 2.49.1
✓ Not sync with OneDriveUse to be able to save the PDF directly to my OneDrive. The screen keeps flashing between office account sign-in page and office lens Export To page, without being able to log in successfully. It’s inconvenient if the sync fails. Getting annoying..Version: 2.41.1
✓ One of my Primary AppsThis app is fantastic, use it all the time. Quick, simple, and gives quality results ever time. Even when documents are at an angle and lighting is not what it should be you still get a good result and perspective corrected. The interface for saving, could be improved, bit confusing to get use to and we’re it is going to be saved. But once learnt it is fine and taking quick scans to default location is simple. Changing names latter, is ok but could be improved UI wise Still it is very much a 5 star app!!.Version: 2.9.18011101
✓ 东南西北下Sjsfbwjwdbbdjwixbbw.Version: 2.70
✓ Works well for my college needsI have transitioned to online school this quarter and one of my classes needs daily homework and notes turned in in PDF form. I can easily take a picture of my page and export as a PDF file to my onedrive account I already have for school. Since it is automatically on my computer turning in the assignments is then super easy. Also, I trust this app more than the other ones which seem pretty sketchy to me and haven’t worked well for me in the past. Overall, it works well for this weird transition to online and does exactly what I need it to do..Version: 2.33
✓ First day of using appSo far easy to use , and transfer to other type of document.Version: 2.70
✓ Great App for Scan and capturing in-betweenIt's a life saver and great app to capture whiteboard write ups and capturing documents (like scanning)..Version: 1.3
✓ An exceptionally useful toolConverts pictures into pdfs extremely easy. Keeps the order of pictures, so the order you take the pictures is the order the pictures come up as pages in the PDF. An absolute easy and brilliant tool!.Version: 2.49.1
✓ Very clever and really usefulI love this app. Makes capturing whiteboard notes a breeze..Version: 1.0.1
✓ The scan appI am using this app for document scanning on my iPhone. It is far the best app I used. Good output quality, easy to use ans the documents are automatically sent to my one drive..Version: 2.77.1
✓ Great appI have just installed this add onto my iPad. It is incredible. I particularly like being able to scan a document, save it in Word and actually edit the text. Fantastic..Version: 2.20
✓ Great!Quick and easy to use - I love it! If only it was available on PC as well. Often I don’t have time on the phone and need to catch up later..Version: 2.77.1
✓ Excellent business toolWe use the whiteboard a lot, and this is an outstanding tool for creating good quality images that can go straight into our design documentation..Version: 1.1
✓ WowIT is great.Version: 2.72
✓ Great toolIf you are fed up with glove boxes full of receipts or can never find that proof of postage you are sure you had this is the tool for you. A simple snap before uploading to your favourite place (PDF to cloud drive for me) and that receipt can hit the bin. Gone are the days of having to walk to the printer / scanner. Waiting for it to warm up. Having to find a USB stick as the send to network feature on the scanner is not working again. It's all on your phone. Simply transforming our business processes..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Change the IconThis is the best scanner on the App Store. I’ve tested them all for work - this one doesn’t require extra steps, very accurate, and easy to save PDF or email. I wish it weren’t the best because the icon is hideous. PLEASE update the icon to be I. Line with the other Microsoft office products, which have sleek, minimalist designs. This app also doesn’t show when you search “scanner” into the App Store which is such a terrible shame. I had to go out of my way to find it. Please change the icon..Version: 2.43.1
✓ Crashes without opening appI used to use this app all the time and had all my important scans stored in it but now I can’t even open it without it crashing so I’ve lost access to all my scans and can’t use it anymore I hope someone can point me in the direction of a fix otherwise I will have to find a new scanning app Thanks.Version: 2.59.4
✓ ExcellentSimple and easy to use, does exactly what I need..Version: 2.77.1
✓ Awesome utility.Love the app. Use it all the time, no need for a scanner any more..Version: 1.5
✓ Good, but no way to apply a filter to all pages at onceI like the app. Very helpful. I would like it better if: 1. it allowed to go beyond 100 pages even or allowed to stitch two or three or … PDF documents together into a single one. 2. With whatever setting you took the picture, you can rectify a less than ideal setting by applying a filter before saving. But if you find that most pages would benefit from i.e. the Document or the Enhanced filter (great filter for mixed text / photo pages btw.) then you have to apply them page by page requiring more than one click per page to do so. It would be a great improvement to me if obe had the option to apply a filter either globally, to all pages or to pre-selected pages..Version: 2.50.2
✓ Just got it and it is amazingI just got this and it’s amazing , I needed it to turn photos in to PDF’s and it works perfectly . You can be at an angle and it will go through this magic process to straighten the picture up..Version: 2.33
✓ Picture’sThis is the best camera app I’ve ever used. All your needs in one. It’s very smart so you look great 😊 enjoy.Version: 2.69
✓ It WorksI was actually impressed by this app. I usually use my normal camera to take notes for class, but this app enhances that. The most impressive thing I noticed about this app is how you can easily take a photo from the sides and it straightens it out with no image issues whatsoever. A minor issue I did notice however is that the user would have to manually turn off the Auto setting for the flash for every picture they wish to take. While this might be helpful for lighting in photos, sometimes in certain situations (such as a dark classroom) the flash would not be appreciated by others and forgetting to turn it off might be a little embarrassing. Other than that, this app seems very well made and works as directed. Five stars from me..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Reducing rating to 3 stars - shows photo album by defaultI had this rated as a 5 star app for years. The latest version displays ones pictures from photos when scanning. In a business setting this is not appropriate; my pictures from a ski trip should not be visible to those standing behind me as I scan a whiteboard. Further, as near as I can tell, this adds little benefit to the usage of the app. When this gets changed I will reconsider my rating. It is now hard to recommend the app..Version: 2.32
✓ A scanner in your pocketThis app is so easy to use. Makes working from home so much more efficient. Would be lost without it!.Version: 2.77.1
✓ UselessAt first, a game changer. Now, a recurrent loop of sign ins to your Office account. This is both pre and post update..Version: 2.41
✓ Used to be perfect...Office Lens has been one of my favorite apps for a long time. I use it mainly for whiteboard pictures and scan documents and receipts. It worked flawlessly for a long time. I can’t understand why break something that works great? One of the many updates all of a sudden makes Lens to not auto-detect the correct doc size anymore. 90% of the times it crops it wrong. This used to work perfect everyday. I’ve tried of course with different backgrounds and light conditions and angles so I’m convinced it’s something in the app. Still a great app but sad to see an app like this to go down from amazing to ok..Version: 2.17
✓ No more lost notes or docs!I use this app to capture documents and notes for my legal files. It produces clear copies of documents, reorienting them to square from a range of angles. Lots of options for saving and uploading or emailing the results. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Has numerous bugs that need sortingThe scan works fine for the first document, after saving as pdf, clear media and on to next document which again scans fine, from this point on the buttons in the pop up menu don’t work so unable to crop, spin, alter filters or anything. Solution is to quit the app and reload it for after every document - a real pain. The leave Feedback facility provided from with the App by UserVoice is impossible to log in to to leave feedback or suggestions it goes …. login, validate, login, enter password, validate, enter password so on and so on.Version: 2.51
✓ JockOffice Lens is a great tool for scanning documents photos and whiteboards - Photographs don’t compare when using my phone camera Very quick and accurate - I recommend.Version: 2.70
✓ Very good app, but requires a debugSometimes, when photographing a page, and the red frame correctly borders the entire text, the photo processor cuts out half the page, which renders the photo useless. (Perhaps this occurred because the page was highlighted?) Sometimes it takes several reshoots until success. If that continues to happen an otherwise excellent app will be rendered unusable..Version: 2.19
✓ Really good and helpfulMy iPhone has a really bad camera with this app it has helped me a lot with my business and my accounts to manage my expenses just to have at my fingertips and easier to email to my account.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Perfect addition to document managementThis has revolutionised our handling of documents. Open mail, read it, scan and file it. Bin/shred/recycle original and never have to worry about where that bill or important letter went again!.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Awesome appThis is great, it automatically picks up the size of your document and adjusts everything for you. Can easily send to email or save to your photos... so handy for tax time!.Version: 2.5.17090602
✓ This works well for EdufoliosAs a teacher, I love using lens to take pictures of my students' work and any other evidence I need for my online portfolio. It's so easy to get those images into my onedrive and then up into my Edufolio. Great at PD events and conferences too. Easy to get great shot of presentations!.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Excellent, but want to be able to…I would like to be able to set a default file type and location for scanned documents based on the user account. We use Microsoft for our small business and for a non-techie user this app can seem kind of complicated. If I could simplify the doc scanning process by having all scans be PDF and go to OneDrive for the work account then this app would be a no brainer and help keep my business data secure..Version: 2.59.4
✓ Easy and quick appThis help me to quickly snap not just one but multiple images to combine it into pdf. Most convenient ads free app. Hope it stays that way..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ App won't openThe app fails to load and won't open. Can't use it at all. This is iPhone 13 mini ios 17. Before this, great app, easy to use and high quality scans..Version: 2.72
✓ BestI love it.Version: 2.66.4
✓ WowwwowowoowowowIt’s awesome 🌹🌹🌹🌹.Version: 2.39
✓ Works and works wellNot a bad little program, does all the heavy lifting from photo to program option, and transfers nicely OCR to word.. have nothing bad to report on it..Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Amazing appEasy to use app which allows you to upload documents from your phone to your laptop..Version: 2.72
✓ Does the jobWhatever you do, don’t accidentally choose “business card” instead of “document” because you’ll have no way of easily saving the file to your device. There should be an option to modify the format after “scanning” and before saving the final file..Version: 2.33
✓ Almost perfect. Occasionally blurry and tendency to rotate horizontallyIt’s great! No watermarks and such. A few flaws however. Unlike all the other apps like Cam Scanner, if you are too close to the paper, it might get blurry. Doesn’t happen with other apps though. Also, whenever I try to take a picture, the slightest movement of the phone makes it rotate horizontally. This is really annoying, I wish I could turn off auto-rotation and always make it vertical.Version: 2.41
✓ MrGreat application for any sort of scanning with perfect quality as well as options to form the document in various types before sharing 🤗.Version: 2.56.1
✓ Convenient and HelpfulI have been using this app for my paperwork. It greatly helps my career and sending documents neatly..Version: 2.72
✓ Best app for work photosWhite boards, public presentations, etc. - this is excellent, with good Integration with MS notes.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ 365This apps are easy to use ….Version: 2.56.1
✓ Is bad at savingAnd deletes pictures once it thinks you’re finished with them, instead of perhaps giving you an option to decide if you’re finished with the pictures.Version: 2.45
✓ Incredible Pocket ScannerI use it daily for both work and personal use. Well done Microsoft!.Version: 2.70
✓ Fantastic!Fantastic. Easy to use and the quality is better than the original. Recommend for anyone wanting to cut down on paper copies of anything..Version: 2.24
✓ Great app, needs more customization options in settingsLens is a wonderful app for capturing documents, and images. I travel frequently for work and capturing receipts and all our important documents is important. Lens makes that super easy. Feedback for the developers: 1. Lens defaults to two images and then “resets” back to the main screen. This means I have to manually select the images I was just working on and continue adding images. 2. Give users the option to change the default location in OneDrive. 3. Instead of merely adding “to OneDrive” give users the ability to stick the image(s)/pdf to a specific folder inside OneDrive. Lens already has access to OneDrive so this shouldn’t be a big step….Version: 2.72
✓ Features removed, this was such a great toolI am very disappointed- Office Lens was my go to product for taking photos of documents and whiteboards - it magically straightened and trimmed. Now that feature is gone. Please bring it back.Version: 2.9.18011101
✓ A uni must haveThis app id awesome for copying notes at uni of project screen and whiteboard as well as useful to get copies of friends notes.Version: 1.3
✓ Issue linking to Office 365 Business OneDriveLoved this app as I could sync to both personal and business OneDrive account but since either last update or some other issue can’t export pics/scans to OneDrive business account - works fine OneDrive personal 🧐.Version: 2.24
✓ Can't send the image as pdfIf only they could send the image as pdf, thus app would be perfect.Version: 2.6.17101103
✓ Amazing app!I love this app! I am a student and this app makes taking notes and documents very easy!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ Ability to change title default settingsGreat app but it would be great if the title section was blank rather than having a very long default title. Taking photos of student work gets tedious when title needs to be deleted before adding a personalised title for every photo..Version: 2.59.4
✓ Has issues..All in all, this is a great app. It enables me to lead a paper free existence and rid myself of all the paper in my life. However the latest update has caused problems insofar as the ability to delete and save images has become far more complicated. It was fine like it was before. Now you have the chance to export to various places but the ability to delete has become cumbersome. It never seems to delete unless you manually intervene and seems to store everything!.Version: 2.14
✓ Don’t fail me nowHonestly, over all I really like the application and how it provides the ability to transfer pictures into a pdf format.(which has really helped with school on teams) Recently when saving an image as a pdf and transferring it to OneDrive has not worked. Each time I try it sends me to login to my office350 account and after I login it automatically sends me back. I am not sure if this happens to other people,but I already updated the app and everything so I’m not sure what to do. Please respond to my concerns, due to the fact that I use this for school and it has been the best so far don’t fail me now!😅.Version: 2.44.5
✓ Great at what it doesThere is really impressive technology behind this app, and it was a massive time saver when I was at University. That said, it only really comes into its own when pairing it with MS notes. So you are only going to get the most out of it if you’re an out and out MS user. Ahem, not that there’s anything wrong with that..Version: 2.8.17112700
✓ Life saverMy line of work involves so much paperwork and this app just makes things so much easier. You take a snap of the document and the scanned copy is perfect. No more lugging about bulks of documents. Highly recommend this app!.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ A Life ChangerThis excellent app has replaced my scanner and sped up my work process by about 4x. Image processing can be done super fast in-app and sent to my desktop with a single tap. Scan quality is excellent and the portability of scanning on-the-go from my phone has immensely improved my quality of life as I can now work from truly anywhere. Highly recommend this app for office workers, digital artists like myself, and general ease of living..Version: 2.59.4
✓ Better than similar appsI work a lot with receipts, whiteboards and other documents. This apps switches easily to compensate for the surface your scanning, from most angles with great results. I've used similar apps for some time but this beats them in my experience.Version: 2.3.17070404
✓ Works well as a scanning appCould make it easier - say a simplified scanning process as a scanner and make it more obvious how to do black and white or greyscale. But it seems to be the best free scanning app out there..Version: 2.49.1
✓ Capture text times out all the timeDialog shows saying extracting data, then within a short time, a message appears saying “connection timed out please try again” Same result since ios15 installed on iPhone and ipad.Version: 2.53.2
✓ TrainerLove this tool. Best device around. Saves trying to find a scanner. Saves time. Have recommended this to many colleges..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Where the Heck is Local Storage?Update: As promised, I’m updating to 5 stars since magically the ability to delete local scans mysteriously appeared. Thank you. I like this app. But please tell me what I’m missing, since these questions appear simple and I could not find the answers anywhere. I save scans to pdf and specify iPhone local storage. Then I send to Dropbox. When I’m done, there does not appear to be a way to delete the PDFs in the app, short of deleting the app and reinstalling. Yes - I tried holding, and swiping every which way. As for where on the iPhone these scans are stored locally, no one seems to know. I’ve looked in Photos, Files and every other location and can’t find where they are stored. This seems a simple question, but Googling this I find others are similarly frustrated. Am I missing some obvious usage paradigm? I’d give this five stars if I could just delete scans from the app..Version: 2.16
✓ AmazingThis is amazing app no need to anything because it do itself loved it.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Efficient and easy to use for a free scannerI have to scan lots of documents for online school, especially important assignments for year 12 and I needed a good quality scanner. Lens is perfect because the scans are good quality and the app is super easy to use and efficient. Best thing is it’s free. Only small issue I have is when I send over my scans to my laptop, it saves my scans for the next time I have to use it, which could be helpful for others, but for me personally it just means I have to delete them before I scan the new documents. Little issues though, great app!.Version: 2.57.2
✓ Issues with deletingSince the last update when you delete images you then cannot get back to take another picture as the button seems to disappear. Otherwise this app is a god send. Please fix this issue as it means you have to totally close the app down to get the button to show up again..Version: 2.39
✓ Great findStumbled across this by chance and was wondering why it got 5 stars. Downloaded it and I know now why 😊. Best part is its free!.Version: 1.3
✓ Worked for a while and is now crashingFirst review ive wrote, just wanting to tell people that this app worked amazingly for my school projects for years and is now all of a sudden crashing g when I try to convert to PDF and store inn my phone storage. Still an amazingly useful app..Version: 2.54.2
✓ Easy to use and does the jobI like using this, it’s ad-free and easy to use. Though one thing I would request is sharing direct from app as PDF to mail, instead of saving as PDF then going back in to share via mail - if that makes sense? Thank you. 😊.Version: 2.53.1
✓ So useful!!That's all that needs to be said.Version: 2.9.18011101
✓ Fantastic productOffice lens is fantastic. The quality of it images, flexibility in adjusting screen capture, its a fast and efficient way to capture and record important documents and receipts on the spot. Save to OneDrive, pdf, phone store, as photo, etc. Highly recommend. I use it all the time..Version: 2.59.4
✓ Need to log-in to office365 account oftenHope they can fix that, after 10~ OCR uses it always wants to log in even though I have already logged in..Version: 2.72
✓ AmazingReally easy to use, fantastic fluidity. Really recommend this to anybody who works on Any of the Microsoft Applications. 🙌🏼👏🏼.Version: 1.3
✓ I always have to adjust the right vertical side because it does not align. Can you fix this please.Totally useless app, you can’t scan multi-page documents..Version: 2.54.4
✓ Good productPretty handy for creating pdf scans. Could be a bit more intuitive but overall not looking to replace it as it works well..Version: 2.66.4
✓ One of the most useful apps everI am a big fan of Evernote, and I sit astride the Apple, Google and MS ecosystems .. This app is enough to start me shifting to OneNote. Combine this app and a surface pro, and you have a portable office. Scannable is pretty close, but the angle corrected in Lens really hits it home. Awesome product..Version: 1.0.1
