Whether you need a digital copy of a book or to send in some late homework for uni, a scanner can be a great tool. But with your laptop, smartphone, earbuds, and other gadgets, not everyone has the budget for a dedicated scanner. iScanner is an iOS app that turns your iPhone into a scanner, letting you create high-quality scans and PDFs in seconds. 

This is your chance to get a lifetime subscription to iScanner while it’s 85% off. As of July 22, this app has been marked down to just £23.31. And in addition to the app itself, you'll also get 200 MB of cloud storage included with your purchase.

It can't do your homework for you, but this app can at least make it easier to submit, make digital copies of readings from class, and quickly share files with your mates and teachers. iScanner is an OCR scanner, meaning it can recognise text from almost any scannable object. The benefit here is that you can basically take a picture of a page and turn it into a searchable document. 

Once a document is scanned, users can edit, e-sign it, or even add stamps. iScanner’s editing features are great for refreshing an old document into a new print. Colour correct, remove curves and warps, and minimise noise with a few clicks. Store scans as multipage PDFs or JPEG files that are easy to share, or add a password and protect confidential scans behind a PIN.

Documents aren’t the only thing iScanner can read. Point it at a passport or ID and get a digital copy in moments. iScanner even counts similar objects and can solve typed or handwritten math equations. Use the area measurement feature to find out just how much room there actually is in a dorm or flat. 

Scan a paper or a room with this versatile iOS app. Get a lifetime subscription to iScanner for your iPhone or iPad for just £23.31 (reg. £155.80) — no coupon needed.
