Ratings and reviews

Works very well, but I do not like being forced into an annual subscription if I want the premium features. The paywall is fine, but I'd prefer monthly billing, even at a higher cost. Unlike many, I will need this app only occasionally, so an annual sub doesn't make sense for me. Better still if I could pay once and be done with it, which I understand *used* to be the pricing model. Either way, you'll get no subscription from me. I'll cope with less functionality for the few scans I need.

This app was barely tolerable until a few months ago. Then they rolled out a bad update to make it worse. Frustrating often. Want to add a pic you took yesterday? Used to be able to add scan or photo from the document. Now you have to open a mini menu to do so. Illogical to reduce ease of use, speed, and functionality in one move, but they did. Before the update, it could Scan docs on my brown desk no prob. Now it can't see a white sheet unless I hide it in the dark under the desk.

Edit: After using the app for a while I have dropped it down another star. It's still the most accurate scanner, but it's terrible at organization. Moving documents and folders is a huge pain and makes workflows unpleasant l, especially when moving individual scanned documents into other documents (where it doesn't even show the destination document's folder). Folders might as well not exist. I love the scanning and would gladly pay for this app if these issues were fixed, it's such a shame.

What's new
