★★★★★ Lightpdf Scanner ensures all my documents are safe with robust encryption. The ability to set passwords for sensitive PDFs gives me peace of mind. It's ideal for handling confidential business documents securely.

★★☆☆☆ You are a pice of sh**, and your app also pice of sh***

★★☆☆☆ Had to buy the VIP on order to even use the form recognition, so I could scan some documents into a spreadsheet for work and kept running into a failed to connect to network error, so I was never able to get the information scanned over, had to spend eight hours transposing the date by hand. Please fix the bugs or refund me the $22 I was charged for the annual subscription.

★★☆☆☆ The app is more expensive than a mortgage on a house. The owner should drop the price drastically to attract customers

★★☆☆☆ That was the worst experience I ever go through it. It's awful app which I never recommend uploading 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

★★☆☆☆ Please cancel my subscription. The app is showing network error and keeps itself shutting down. Kindly refund the fees
