One of the best scanner apps. I'm surprised it can do so many things. Document, Whiteboard, QRcodes, you name it. It also gives you the option to convert your scan into many different file types like images and word docx instead of just pdf. I rarely, if ever, leave reviews on Playstore but I really admire this app so I say thank you to the developers at Microsoft. Edit: Still a great app but I recently encountered a problem where the QR Code Scanner doesn't work at all. Please fix this issue.

The app and functionality are amazing. However, ever single time I open the app now, it makes me sign in over and over. Thankfully, I can back out of the sign in screen and it still works, but it takes an additional minute for everything to boot because of the sign in glitch, and it is extremely annoying

Truly terrible! I scanned a few documents and checked to make sure the app was working correctly, and it was so I proceeded to scan many more for over an hour. None of those can be accessed. I can see them in the lens app, however, they cannot be opened or seen in One Note. It is infuriating and I do not recommend this app at all.
