We developed Genius Scan, a small scanner app for iPhone. The intent of the app was to make it easy for people to scan documents and send documents when not close to a physical scanner.

One of the best rewards we have is some of the users comments. - "This app simplifies my life and it actually works like it says it does (weird…)." - "My wife went to the hospital and I needed to send my in-laws her diagnosis and discharge papers(They are both M.D.'s) It worked like a charm. It saved me from buying a scanner and going to kinko's!" - "As a student, this app has saved my butt a few times." - "Saved my company over $1100 in courthouse copy fees last month alone." - "When needed to have a document but no copy machine nor fax, it saved me, got a mortgage with with the bank!!! (had to send a few documents)" - "I've used this app for the past year and it is so helpful. I am able to post assignments for my students and copy their worksheets while still in class with them. I do not have a fax machine and this has saved my butt a few times! Yea!!" - "As a traveling sales rep, I have to fax my figures through to our interstate office each night, when staying in motels this can get quite expensive, now I just scan and email. No more horrendous fax costs!! Thanks guys!!"

One of the best emails we received just contained: "FYI genius scan saved my ass on Thursday and now I will graduate in may all because of genius scan!"

So while in the first place it's hard to think an iPhone app can really improve people's life, a few comments tell us that Genius Scan can have a small positive impact on some people's lives. Also, it's interesting how many uses people can find for this app we would never have thought about.
