Simple Scan is the quick, easy way to scan paper documents to optimized, searchable PDF documents (or images) and send them almost anywhere. ## FEATURES ## * Same great scanning functionality as Notes, but no need to clutter your notes data with one-off scans * Create high-resolution multi-page PDFs from your paper documents * PDFs are searchable thanks to automatic Optical Character Recognition (OCR) * Built for simplicity. Just scan and send – no document library * Send scans via email or messages. Save to a file, or "Share" use to send to other apps via the system share sheet * Set up message destinations with pre-filled recipients for easy "Email to Myself" and other common uses * Custom file destinations save scans directly to a pre-selected folder without extra taps * File naming suggestions, such as names, dates, pulled from the scanned document (requires Apple Intelligence) * Save scans directly to Photos * Option to output as images (JPEG) instead of PDF * Quality option to control file size * Never any ads. Ever. * Private and on-device. All scan processing is done locally on your device. ## SIMPLE SCAN PRO ## Simple Scan is free to download and try!

Flawless mobile scan and easy!

I have added a one touch control on my control center that pulls up the Simple Scan app. I use it all the time, even though I have a desk scanner the simplicity and features of this app are hard to beat.It takes me literally five seconds to get a one page scan file filed or sent to my photos. Highly recommended!

One of those apps that should be built in but isn’t. And the developer made it well. Pull it out, use it, move on with your day. Just works. For you have it til you need it. Life wouldn’t be the same without it. Other apps always have some tiny little catch. This one does not. Very “as advertised”

Decent, Affordable Scannable Alternative

I have been using Scannable for a few years now. Unfortunately, Evernote has gotten greedy and while Scannable itself is free, is usability has been reduced while a hidden cost has been added. Now, you have to have Evernote to get your scans out of Scannabke. And Evernote is really costly. Simple Scan steps up and, while it is not free, it is more than reasonable at $5 annually. Or $50 lifetime. It is a little more clunky than Scannabke, but it is a great, simple scanning app that I think will fit our needs. I happened across it in a review by one of the Apple dedicated RSS news feeds. I would like to see this app be simplified to the extent Scannable was, but I get it. I hope the developer does well with it, and I will start using it today! Goodbye to Scannable and Evernote; hello Simple Scan!

Nicely designed, doesn’t add much for price

Another nicely designed app from Agile Tortoise. it’s easy to use and works well. However, for the price it doesn’t seem to add much. The scanning engine seems to be the same as you get in notes. There’s no way to edit the scan or any improvement for taking the scan image. And there’s no way to tweak the image taken, just like in Notes (I’m not talking about “filters”). For the price they ought to be away to adjust and contrast. This is especially important things you want to save in black and white. The workflow options for what to do with your scan are an upgrade, but I expected more for the price.
