Ratings and reviews

Of course a basic product can't just exist. There has to be a subscription attached to it. Not a good move when there are 10 million other options to scan and combine documents. But what else is to be expected from Adobe? Inferior products at higher prices. At the end of the day, this is a good thing. I'm now motivated to look at smaller and/or better companies. And thus we are that much closer to rendering Adobe irrelevant.

It's way worse than Microsoft Lens, because it's really bad at detecting perspective and edges that have light colors. I had to correct every single page by hand, and in the end some of them got very deformed - it turns out the "straighten" option was on, I learned that this option deformes even simple blocks of text a lot sometimes. I gave this rating 2 stars because at least the app still exist (unlike Lens).

Best mobile office app. Working for the court system, I don't always have the time to go to my office and scan documents. Adobe Scan makes my job more efficient and effective in scanning, editing, and combining files to get them to where they need to be. Other scanner apps that I have tried were not high-quality as Adobe. The images were blurry and dark. Some didn't offer features to work with, such as editing. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone.
