Funktionierte auf Anhieb

Ich verstehe die schlechten Bewertungen nicht. Die App funktionierte problemlos auf Anhieb mit meinem Epson ES-300W. Die App scheint speziell für die Dokumentenscanner von Epson gemacht zu sein. Der Link in der Beschreibung listet die unterstützten Modelle.

悪くはないけど

仕事で資料のスキャンに使用しています。 主にiPadでアプリを使用しています。 2点、 1.スキャンした資料の複数選択ができるように改善をお願いしたいです。 PCや他の方に共有する際、1つ1つ共有しないと出来ないので、かなり面倒です。 2.スキャン中の資料の不要ページの削除をできるようにしてほしい。 使用してて気になったのは今のところこれくらいです。 改善されることを切に願います。

Ist ok

ES-60W mit iPad Pro Die Einrichtung per WPS ist gelungen. Es ist zwar ein wenig umständlich aber es funktioniert. Ich musste den Scanner mit dem beiliegenden „Calibration Sheet“ neu kalibrieren. Auch das geht in der App. Das man als Speicherort der Scans aber nur In-App wählen kann finde ich schlecht. Gerne würde ich die Scans direkt an einem anderen Speicherort speichern.

ES-60W

This used to work great. With my iPhone 17 Pro, it does not work, at all. It direct connects, but when trying to scan, it's looking for the scanner, and eventually says "cannot find scanner". When it takes me to the support page, it says iOS 14. What?!? We're on iOS 26. This might need to be updated!!

RR70W connection issues

I received my scanner thinking it will connect automatically. Not realizing I had to do several things to have it connected without the router from home or the Wi-Fi. It was very frustrating. The lack of instructions how to troubleshoot connectivity would make a person return the scanner and call it a day. Thank goodness for persistence. After reading some of the reviews that people are having the same issues with similar scanners and their troubleshooting attempts have helped me tremendously. Thank you!!! These should be added to the manual. I know this is not the Epson website but reading your reviews helped me to connect my scanner. Thank you again!!! Now to leave a review on Epson site..lol have a great day 😊

Horrible User Interface and Features

I scan everything! So I thought that the concept of being able to scan my work receipts and send them to Dropbox with any of my devices was a brilliant idea. NOT! The mechanics of scanning works fine. But the number of steps involved in just getting the document to be saved to this painfully inefficient apps is absurd. Once the scanning is done the files are essentially stuck in the Files section of the app unless you have a lot of time and patience to move them. And when I was trying to put them in Dropbox I was getting errors and had to resort to sending them by AirDrop to my MacBook and then to Dropbox. My motivation to stay with the Epson portable scanner just decreased monumentally. Epson can certainly make a more user friendly app to go with their hardware.

Once you turn off cellular it works

So a lot of people saying it’s not working. What works for my iPhone 13 max pro running 15.3.1 is to go into the settings tab then scroll down until you find the DocumentScan tab, turn off cellular. Then it should scan. Was very annoying cause you can connect to the scanner. But it would get stuck searching when you want to scan something.

EXCELLENT ignore low reviews.

I use this app 7-8 times each day without issue. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️it!!! 1) I started using this app on a 7plus and just transitioned to an 11 Pro Max without issue. 2) I use this app on the road. The WiFi signal the scanner emits allows me to not need a hotspot #Yay 2a) So make sure you connect your phone to your scanner’s WiFi signal before trying to use it. The WiFi name is found on the back of your scanner. 3) Once you scan into the app, move the doc to Dropbox or some other similar app on your phone if you need to upload it. 4) I always buy Epson scanners and I tell everyone about this app! I do not work for Epson. This app is the THE best. 👍

Poorly Designed

Agree with other reviewers. This app is not useful. It is lacking several key features. I want to be able to save directly to the files app (vs saving each scan individually), I want to be able to use the full DPI settings on my scanner (FF-680W can do 600 DPI, this maxes out at 300), and I want the features from the desktop app like automatic double side detection, searchable PDFs, etc. Wish epson took this more seriously.

Don’t bother with the app unless they update it or you will spend countless hours for nothing! I purchased the fastfoto scanner to scan thousands of photos but it you use you choose to scan them to your ipad or iphone there is no way to share them with this app.

IOS Issues

Tried to use the App with my iPad and IPhone on two different ES300W scanners. I had the same issues everyone else is reporting. Was able to find the scanner and set up but unable to scan. The app would say that it was searching for scanner. Contacted Tech Support and they were unable to help offering a replacement. The Lady said that the only reason this issue happens is because of a VPN. Mine were turned off. Continued to troubleshoot on my own and found out finally that if you have a connected IPhone the cellular data disrupts the connection. Turned off Cellular data, and power cycled both devices and was able to connect both IPad and the IPhone. Once connected found that I could turn cellular data back on and go into settings - DocumentScan app and turn off Cellular data connection there. Issue resolved. Hope this helps. Now I completely love my ES-300W

Funktioniert mit DS-360W

Also, in Anbetracht der zahlreichen negativen Bewertungen, die fast ausschließlich Beschwerden wegen fehlender Scanner-Unterstüzung darstellen, möchte ich die App mit ihren Funktionen kurz bewerten. Klar, es ist frustrierend, wenn nur wenige Scanner unterstützt werden, allerdings ist der DS-360W sicherlich kein völlig veraltetes Modell und ich wusste beim Kauf, dass es diese dafür passende App gibt. In den wichtigsten Punkten funktioniert sie super inkl. Doppelseiten-Scan mit Auslassen leerer Seiten. Es fehlen mir aber doch einige wichtige Funktionen, um wirklich produktiv und effizient damit arbeiten zu können: - Texterkennung (OCR), was mir arg fehlt und doch zig Foto-Scanner-Apps auch mitbringen. Sollte doch machbar sein, notfalls als In-App-Kauf. Geht somit leider nur am Rechner. - Qualitätseinstellungen für die PDF-/JPG-Ausgabe - Alternative Speicherorte (iCloud) zu nur In-App - Datei-Browser ist sehr rudimentär. Er sollte eine Mehrfachauswahl und direkte Weitergabe eines und mehrerer Dokumente an andere Apps aus der Übersichtsseite erlauben. Aktuell muss ein Dokument erst einzeln geöffnet werden, um es dann weiterleiten zu können, z.B. an andere Apps oder zum Speichern bspw. in der iCloud. Zu umständlich und zeitraubend... - Wünschenswert wären natürlich weitere aus Epson Scan am Rechner bekannte Funktionen wie die automatische Schräglagenkorrektur, Bildeinstellungen (Helligkeit, Gamma, Kontrast, Text optimiert...)

Very Limited. Not worth using.

Stable but that’s it. The app offers no image tweaking— if it guesses exposure or colors wrong, there’s no fixing it. For these reasons I ended up with a better “scan” using TurboScan and my iPhone’s camera.

Just a few missing features

The app is a bit outdated but it does the main function - scanning. But I think there are just 2 minor features missing to dramatically improve batch scans: 1. Exporting multiple files at once. Storing photos one by one to a cloud storage is extremely painful 2. Adding an option to scan another document after saving scanned file. Now it jumps to files folder that adds multiple clicks to start scanning new document. Please add these features and I think the app would be well enough for all my needs.

Spinning ..

I have documents that I used through this scanner as library or something I can go back to. But if I delete and redownload the app I lose everything I scanned previously. I saw a comment from two years ago and very disappointed to see EPSON hasn’t rectified this defect/issue . I’m a Mobile Notary for the state of Pennsylvania and no having any options. I have docs that I NEED to scan back immediately and this cuts into my window time to scan back if it’s gets stuck. My experience starting was good , but this feature is a CON for my profession.

Works fine for me

Not sure what issues the other reviewers are having (or if they’re previous versions of the app) but it works ok on my iPhone & iPad. It’s quite basic & simple, but it works. One thing it does need is the ability to save to places other than the app itself. The interface suggests it should be possible, but I can’t find any setting that allows me to change the default or add new destinations, like Dropbox. I have to go into the files section, open the newly scanned document and then share it using the share sheet. Again, it works, but it’s clunky

Unreliable

I try using it as rarely as possible because it’s way too unreliable. Very frustrating. It can’t find the right wifi, I start and restart both devices (phone & scanner) multiple times. When it finally catches the wifi - it can’t find a scanner! I start and restart and reset it all again. No wifi or no scanner are found! Finally, 40 min later, I got them both working but then it stopped scanning after 4th page because I drained all the batteries while trying to get it to work although it was charging all night. What a garbage. Waist of time, waist of money, waist of my nerves.

Works but limited

Options to save to the app or camera roll is nice, but the app doesn't let you sort or manage the apps very well. It also doesn't let you do bulk operations. I bought the Ds-40 and on my Mac, it allows you to scan up to 1200 dpi, but on the mobile app, it only lets you go up to 300 dpi. Why limit this functionality for smart phones and tablets?
