Great, thanks for these. Another very useful one I came across lately is Evernote Scannable. It allows you to scan documents and business cards directly from your phone- it recognises a page shape against a contrasting background and joins them into a pdf which you can then email etc. Fast, convenient and good quality scans from my iphone 5s.
