What’s the catch? Paywall blocks the basics — reported by 46 users.
Analyzed automatically from 3 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.
This analysis describes version 3.2.4 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 3.2.4, updated 2024-12-19.
What the analysis found
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Paywall blocks the basics
Used to be amazing but now you need to pay — I used to love this app and it carried me through college, but now you have to pay money to do anything but send it to Evernote (which is another headache), and you can’t even email yourself…
Another good app ruined — Used to be incredibly useful, you could email scans of a page to yourself. Now all options to export are locked behind a pay wall and it gives you a ton of ads for their other app. Uninstalled immediately. Just…
Been horrid since Evernote acquired it — They make it deliberately so much worse than it used to be. Before I could just scan some pictures and send them to myself and now it’s all locked behind horrible Evernote paywall multi app…
Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording
Don’t use this app — I used to love this app to just quickly scan things in pdf and email it to myself or whoever but now you’ve lost the ability to download, email, share, and etc your scans. You have to save your scans to a different…
Used to be great, now it’s useless — I used to love this app, but now you can’t do anything without being tricked into accidentally paying for Evernote, and even if you manage to navigate all the pop ups trying to force you to pay, you…
Update ruined this app — This app used to be a 5/5 for me. It was an easy and simple way to scan and upload PDFs of my homework assignments online to submit. However, as of a recent update, in order to actually use this app, the app now…
Price keeps rising
Why is there a charge now? After years of using — Not happy because I paid for Evernote only for ease of saving with scannable FREE app for yea rs only to use this app, and Evernote’s price went up drastically so cancelled Evernote. Which…
You have to pay to get any features out of this app — Throughout all of high school I use this app to scan documents and submit them for homework. It was quick, worked well, and was mostly reliable. I re-downloaded it today to try and…
No longer free with Evernote Premium — Scannable was free if you had Evernote Premium. Now it’s $49.99 a year if you want to save files outside of Evernote. Evernote price drastically increased and now Scannable. I’m embarrassed for…
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
