This popular app is free again.

MDScan is a mobile doc scanner that allows you to scan any type of document using your phone camera. This could be receipts, text pages, coupons, posters, magazine articles, invoices, pictures, and any printed documents.

How does it work?
1. Take a picture with your camera
2. Choose an editing option (you can select “unenhanced”)
3. Easily adjust the scan area using the 4 borders on the page
4. Confirm the scan to the set dimensions (ready presets available)
5. Choose filters to enhance the quality (optional)
6. Save and Export into a PDF or JPG
7. Share on Social Media, Email, Cloud Servers

    I am using this app from almost a year. It is a really good app and does what it says.

    Really good replacement for CamScanner, which you shouldn't be using at all. Sources: 1 and 2

      Yes, I was horrified when I recently found out that CamScanner, the full version of which I have been using for years, has been bought by the Communist China's Intelligence Corporation. I have been using the app's cloud service to store confidential documents, which really helps when swapping (or losing) phones. The question is, how do I migrate everything over? May be a moot point since I'm on iOS at the moment.

        You guys have confidence in this developer? based in Russia it seems.

        • elektron on 17/07/2020 - 17:06

          Thanks - I didn't pick up on that. Having said that, there are a lot of solid apps created by Russian devs (think PowerAmp) but I'd be concerned with something as sensitive as this.

        If you are on iOS, I would 100% recommend readdle app. One the best app out there which unfortunately I cannot find a close match in android.

        • Slave1 on 17/07/2020 - 19:18

          Totally agree. All of Readdle's apps are top notch.

          Just searched and found "Documents by Readdle" - thanks will give it a try. I'm only on iOS because of work so would ideally prefer a service that works well on both platforms. Is Readdle better than Office Lens?

          EDIT: $82 per year? I've never deleted an app so fast :-)

    • AncientWisdom on 19/07/2020 - 20:30

      It's worth mentioning that CamScanner was republished without the offending ad modules.

    • Helenn on 20/07/2020 - 13:49

      Thanks, currently using camscanner..

  • Ozgrabber on 17/07/2020 - 16:21

    Great app. Using it since last 2 years. Very handy.

  • xoom on 17/07/2020 - 16:51

    Downloaded. Thanks op.

    This vs AdobeScan?

    This vs Genius Scan?

    You can use Google drive app to scan documents as well. It will allow to adjust scan area. I have been using this to scan documents and its working great for me.

  • pencilman on 17/07/2020 - 17:11

    I swear by Clearscanner.
    The pro version was only a once of charge of a few dollars.

    I wonder how this compares?

  • Economic on 17/07/2020 - 17:11

    I think Officelens is the best

    • tsk2 on 17/07/2020 - 17:35

      This. It's free and most likely going to be supported going forward.

  • exxa on 17/07/2020 - 17:50

    Google and Microsoft both have their own versions of this

    • spaceflight on 17/07/2020 - 18:08

      But they are always free so aren't a "deal"

  • spaceflight on 17/07/2020 - 18:06

    I would use Office Lens.
    It is free, made by Microsoft so probably won't steal your data and likely to be supported for future Android versions

    Google Drive also had the feature and is probably on most Android phones already

    • FarKen on 17/07/2020 - 18:32

      Google Drive also has the feature.

      Easy to set up.
      Scan your tax invoice straight to your Google Drive "Warranty" or "Tax2020-2021" folder.

    I'd been using CamScanner from around it's launch. Amazing piece of software. The edge finder and adjustments were bang on. Uninstalled after the security red flags. Just reinstalled it and OfficeLens a couple of weeks ago. The scan quality on CamScanner has noticeably declined (on my S9). OfficeLens does no better. MDScan produces a noticeably better capture image, however the edge finder and adjustments are less adept. I believe, from digging into the MDScan app settings, that MD uses its own camera app. This might be why it's better than CamScanner and a OfficeLens - the S9 stock camera might be the issue. I'm really unimpressed with the recent S9 updates. Stuffed up battery life, and swype keyboard. And Android Auto no longer responds to voice commands - but I digress. :-)

    It's built into samsung camera

    !!! A word to all Adobe Scan users. !!!
    If you're not already aware - the app saves all scans on the Adobe cloud and offers no warning of this. It's a good app but it offered no clear warning of this nor does it allow one to opt out. Will absolutely not work for me. Epic fail Google - the only requested and granted permission was Use Camera. Arrggggg. Don't want my personal documents scattered across the freaking internet. User beware.

  • keishton on 18/07/2020 - 20:22

    Thanks I was looking for a good replacement for the readdle one I use to use on my iPhone. Works quite well

    • pencilman on 18/07/2020 - 20:25

      Scannerpro by Readdle on iOS was my favourite scanner app!
      When I went to Android I tried a few, and the closest I found was Clearscanner.
      The free version works fine, but I likes it so much I upgraded to the pro version for one of charge of a few dollars (unlike the subscription model of some of the others).
      Give Clearscanner a try! And if you find one that is better I'd love to know.
