This used to work perfectly. Now I find I need to do a lot of retakes and clicks to get the document image I need. It's no longer so "simple". The ads have gotten more intrusive also.. they try to trick you into clicking on them. It's a free app so I get the ads, but don't appreciate the tactics.

When I first started using the app, scanned documents appeared in a folder in my gallery, but that stopped happening at some point. Now I have to email them to myself from the app after scanning and then save them to my phone, or else I just can't access the document at all. I'm not sure where some reviewers get the idea that you have to pay for the app to send documents, that is just not true at all. It's completely free.

When I first open the app, it said I had to set up an account, from a pop-up box that I had to click "OK" and put in my credit card. It turns out this was an ad, not the simple scanner service, and it took my card information, said it was a free membership, and immediately charged it. Then, when I went to use the scanning app, the same window pops up and I realized it was an ad within the app and not a requirement of simple scanner. Very misleading, and borderline fraudulent
