First off: Yes, it is full of ads. But it's for free and your scans won't be watermarked, thus the amount of advertisements is easily justified. Besides that the app is easy to use, creates PDFs and even covers enhancement of your taken photo before exporting it. Probably the best app you can get for scanning with your phone without having to pay for it.

simple and easy, works very well - thank you! update 19/8/23: what worked like a charm for a long time suddenly doesn't: I can still scan the documents butmailing them doesn't work any longer - whenever I try, Iend up with an empty email/no scan attached. What happened? No idea. I didn't update my os and the app has no updates since quite a while. Please help! (Might it be a size issue? Is the free version no longer capable of emailing scans that are larger than 1MB? If yes, please announce it

Great app, very easy to use and send PDF files to email etc, BUT... Word of warning (& why I've removed 2 stars) it will happily let you scan several documents for free then WITH NO WARNING) the entire app will lock down, you can't scan any documents or access any previously scanned documents and you HAVE TO PAY. It's not the paying that I object to as it's exactly what I need and I now have the paid version, it's the not having any warning or the option to still access previous scans.
