About this app
This is the paid edition of JotNot, a document scanner that converts phone photos of paper into PDFs or JPEGs. The pitch is the same as the free app: point the camera at a receipt, contract or whiteboard, let the app find the edges and fix the lighting, and file the result instead of the paper. Scans can run to many pages, be processed in colour or black and white, and have their text extracted with OCR. Uploads go directly to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and OneDrive, or to OneNote, Evernote and iCloud, or to a computer over Wi-Fi, and PDFs can be emailed. Sensitive files take a password, and the app itself can be locked with Touch ID or Face ID. Tags, search and name or date sorting handle organisation. The difference from the free version is the price model: Pro is a single purchase with no recurring charges and no in-app upgrade needed.
JotNot Scanner App Pro: the full guide
What the app is
Same scanner, different receipt. The Pro edition of JotNot is the paid version of the free scanner, sold for $6.99 up front instead of as an in-app upgrade. The job is the same: point the camera at paper, have the edges detected and the lighting corrected, and file a clean PDF or JPEG instead of the original.
Multi-page scans, colour and black-and-white processing, OCR text extraction, direct uploads to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, OneNote, Evernote and iCloud, Wi-Fi transfer to a computer and emailed PDFs are all included. Per-file passwords plus Touch ID or Face ID for the app cover security; tags, search and sorting cover filing.
How it works day to day
Your days with it are identical to the free version's, minus the moment where a limit appears. Expense receipts get photographed and sent to the accountant's inbox via email, contracts are scanned page by page into one PDF and locked with a password, and the odd business card is captured and filed. The OCR means a search for a client's name finds the right document months later. Because there's no counter ticking down, you scan freely, which is the whole reason to buy it rather than the free one.
Why people look for it
Buyers here have already decided they want a scanner without a subscription and would rather pay once at the door than install a free app and upgrade inside it. Some are people who simply distrust free apps and the paywalls they tend to hide. The Business category listing, as opposed to Productivity for the free edition, reflects a work-first audience.
Look and feel
Visually this should be the free JotNot with the upgrade prompts gone: a camera viewfinder with page detection, a document library, an export sheet. Its five screenshots presumably show scanning, filing and sharing. Business-category scanners stay plain so the scanned page is the focus; a colour and a black-and-white mode suggest a processing picker will feature.
