What’s New

Version 7.16

Features

Improved Text Recognition

Genius Scan can now rely on Apple Vision as a text recognition engine, leading to much faster and more accurate text recognition. Genius Scan still offers support for all the languages that Apple Vision doesn't support yet. The switch will be transparent.

Curvature Correction

Genius Scan introduces curvature correction, which lets you correct the curvature of documents, especially when you scan books. The option is available by tapping the Edit button on any scanned document and then toggling the curvature correction option.

Only show documents when importing scans from your Photos

When importing images from your photos, you can now only display photos that look like documents. This AI-based feature can save you much time when importing scans from your photos.

Genius Scan adds another cleverness to this feature: it will only crop and enhance the document if it looks like an uncropped or unprocessed document.

Enhancements

- Improved the design of the informative banners displayed at the top of the document list and in various places in the app.
- Multiple performance and design enhancements to the image picker.

Bug fixes

- Fix Genius Scan widget display on iOS 17.
- Added ability to cancel setting a PIN password.
- Fix a potential crash when exporting to WebDAV.
- Fix a few crashes.
- Fix an issue which could cause a page to be stuck without text recognition.

Genius Scan now requires iOS 16 minimum.

Very dependable app that just gets smarter and smarter...I love it.

I love this app. It is one of the few that stands out as golden, a must-have for me. It is a huge time-saver. The quality of the PDFs is such that I don't even have to crank up my scanner for most purposes. I just take a picture or import an image from photos, let the mostly automatic features clean it up for me, move pages around if I want, and then hit send and done. There are additional features I haven't dug into but every feature I have used works flawlessly, updates are seamless and have consistently made the app more intuitive while keeping to the original sense of workflow so you don't have a new learning curve with every update. And I have had it for years and they've never had me pay for an update. I've never had a complaint about it as either a user or from clients and others receiving the scans, yet I am always pleasantly surprised how the upgrades continue to improve and streamline the experience. I am going out of my way here to give clear kudos because this is one of those rare apps that actually delivers what it promises and this development team deserves deep praise. Thank you for the time you've saved me.

High function, light weight.

I have used this app for several years, including a period of several months when I used it to scan all our mail. Simple, fast, intuitive, and functional. Well worth the price.

- de-skew mechanism
- pdf or jpg
- integration to google drive, mail, photos

I routinely use it to do impromptu scans of whiteboards, letters, angled pix. The de-skew means you can get a good picture without glare or flash reflection, then straighten it.

Maintenance and enhancement has tracked over all this time.

The de-skew automated corner finding is finicky (A good contrast background helps a lot), but the UI to adjust it is quick and intuitive. This is important, because many pix require that you eyeball the perspective (whiteboard diagrams, store signs). The image post processing is also good, especially for documents.

I use the integration to google drive and photos a lot. I scan and mail docs all the time. I always have the best picture of the whiteboard to distribute.

Provided is a good way to build up a database of docs on your phone, but I have found that is a mixed blessing, security concerns). Currently keep it down to a few docs. I see there is now a cloud integration mode, which I haven’t used—if you trust this with your docs, I can see that it would make it a lot easier to maintain.

From 5 to 2 stars with latest version

This used to be one of my favorite apps and I gave it an excellent review a few years ago. But all of a sudden this update has made it a so aggravating that it's almost unusable for me. It used to ask me to scan a page at a time and now it thinks I want to scan multiple pages and it's not easy to figure out how to end a scan. Because it used to scan one page at a time I could correct the orientation of each page as I scanned it but now I have to go into the document and adjust each one separately which cost me more time. It locked up when exporting and I had multiple problems exporting it to dropbox. Sometimes it would only send one of multiple pages other times it would lock up and the latest option was squishing two pages into one page. It might be because one was landscape and one was portrait but it still should be able to fix that. It's just a bummer when something works well and then it becomes so aggravating you wish you hadn't purchased it.

Developer Response ,

Hello,

With this last update we know we have changed quite a bit and we understand that this can be frustrating. The next major update will actually make everything much faster (actually faster than the previous update) but we needed to take this step before. I apologize for this being inconvenient.

We are also restoring the Single/Batch switch in the next minor update of Genius Scan (to be released as soon as Apple approves it!).

We would be happy to help you further if you could email us at support@thegrizzlylabs.com.
Regards,
Bruno
