I noticed that around 8% of my users are using iPadOS, even though my app is only designed and tested for iPhone.

I’ve been hesitating to officially support iPad because I don’t own an iPad and I’m not sure how different the UI is supposed to be. Right now, the app uses a simple native iOS design that works well on iPhone, but on iPad it’s basically just stretched iPhone UI.

For those who’ve been through this:

• Is it worth officially supporting iPad at this stage?
• Do iPad users expect a fully adapted UI, or is a “scaled-up iPhone app” acceptable?
• What’s the minimum effort needed to make an app feel “good enough” on iPad?

Would appreciate any advice from developers who’ve dealt with this before.

Most document scanner apps somehow became giant “productivity ecosystems” packed with subscriptions, accounts, popups, and way too many features.

I just wanted something fast.

So I built Stacked — a free document scanner focused on speed, clean UX, and actually making scanning feel modern.

With Stacked you can:

• Scan receipts, notes, contracts, IDs, handwritten pages, etc.
• Auto-detect and crop documents
• Extract text from scans (OCR)
• Generate AI summaries from extracted text
• Export clean PDFs/images
• Organize documents without clutter
• Use everything in a lightweight, minimalist interface

One thing I obsessed over was the camera/scanning experience itself because a surprising number of scanner apps still feel outdated or slow despite being apps people use constantly.

I wanted Stacked to feel more like a polished modern utility than a “business suite.”

Also: the app is free. No weird watermark spam or forcing you through 9 screens just to scan one page.

Would genuinely love feedback from people here:

• What’s your biggest frustration with document scanner apps?
• What feature makes you keep one installed?
• Would AI summaries/text extraction actually be useful to you?
