I'd love to be able to use this with all of them! **Recommendations to others considering Pocket Scanner:** Pocket Scanner is a great app for your phone and has everything you need to scan, annotate, and mark up documents. Unfortunately, most of the additional features that the app provides, such as the write on video and animation desk, are only available if you are willing to subscribe. However, the cost is only $5.00 per month after a 7 day trial so if you will use it a lot it is probably worth it. **What problems is Pocket Scanner solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main benefit I have realized with Pocket Scanner is the ability to make nice, clean, professional looking copies of print documents without having to go find a big copy machine. ### 2.
