Ratings and reviews

I am extremely upset and disappointed with Adobe. I signed up for what was presented as a free trial and was then charged for a full 12-month subscription without clear or fair warning. I contacted support immediately after the charge, but no effort was made to help or offer any flexibility. Being locked into a full year for something I never intended to purchase and will not use is completely unreasonable. This feels misleading and unfair. I expect this to be addressed.

Very good app for scanning documents. Compared to other similar apps, this one does not have annoying ads or features that you can only get by paying a subscription (or I haven't found them yet). The app is really good at recongnising the document and scanning it automatically, although sometimes I need to recalubrate it by selecting a previous scan and then going back to scanning, but this can be fixed with a software update. Overall very good product!

Not sure where all the good reviews are coming from, this thing is useless! It constantly hunts moving the blue box around all over and can't make its mind up as to what is and what isn't my document! I've tried a wooden table and on a large sheet of white paper, no luck. I have over 200 pages to digitalise, with this app it will take me forever. EDIT: I recommend CamScanner instead.
