Scanner4U, a document scanning app for iPhone and iPad, is free on the App Store at the time of writing. New Mobile Life reports its usual price as US $0.99, and the Canadian App Store listing also shows it as free.
The app is a small download of 855 KB from the developer Alexandre agopin. The source gives no end date for the free price, so treat it as a limited time offer that can change at any time.
What does Scanner4U do?
Scanner4U scans paper pages with the camera, lets you tidy them up, and exports the result as a PDF. According to the App Store listing, each scan session automatically becomes its own task, with thumbnails so you can preview the pages at a glance.
Editing is done page by page. You can adjust contrast, brightness and color so text stands out, see the changes before you export, and rotate or crop a page. An optional grid overlay in the camera view helps you line up the shot.
How does exporting work?
Sharing as a PDF takes one tap. Before you export, you can pick a quality of 100%, 50% or 25% to match what you need, which is useful when a file has to fit an email or an upload form. The PDF goes out through the system share sheet, so it works with the apps you already use. Nothing in the listing suggests an account is needed to scan or share.
The listing’s own summary sums up the pitch as getting organized, scanning smarter and sharing cleaner, with a clean workflow, editing tools and flexible export options behind it.
The listing names receipts, invoices, contracts and forms as typical jobs, along with study notes, worksheets, handouts, manuals and pages from books.
How much does Scanner4U cost in Canada and the US?
In Canada, the Canadian App Store listing shows Scanner4U at a price of 0 CAD, which means free. The sources do not give a Canadian regular price.
In the US, New Mobile Life says the original price is US $0.99 and that the app is free for a limited time. The official App Store listing is labelled Free and states no end date. These are prices at the time of writing, and they can change at any time.
How do you get it?
Open the App Store on an iPhone or iPad, search for Scanner4U by Alexandre agopin, and check that the button says Get before you tap it. The app requires iOS 16.6 or later, iPadOS 16.6 or later, or visionOS 1.0 or later. The listing also says it runs on a Mac with macOS 13.5 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later, but it labels the app as designed for iPad and not verified for macOS. The interface is in English only.
Who is Scanner4U for?
Students. Scanning study notes, worksheets and handouts into a PDF is the kind of job the listing describes, and the three export sizes help when a school portal limits file size.
People who handle household paperwork. Receipts, invoices, contracts and forms are the first examples in the listing, and a task per scan session keeps a batch of pages together.
Anyone who wants a light app. At 855 KB, it takes almost no space, and the listing describes a simple, focused interface.
Privacy minded users. The listing says your scans stay on your device, and its privacy label says the developer collects no data. The developer supplied that information, and Apple notes it has not verified it.
What is still unknown?
The end date of the free price has not been published, and no Canadian regular price is stated. The listing does not mention text recognition, so readers who need searchable text should not assume it is included. The app has too few ratings to show an overview, so there are no wider user reviews to read yet.
