Ratings and reviews

I haven't entirely mastered the app yet because the darn thing is so fast to perform second scan after doing the first I can't even decide if it was a good scan or not. If I can do some minor editing to improve the final product. I haven't looked yet but, if not a feature already please consider pausing between scan and let the Consumer decide when they're ready to do another scan.

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 is THE document scanner app. I tried so many others.. one couldn't even keep pages in the order in which they were scanned. This one is flawless. You can't tell the document wasn't scanned on a flatbed scanner. It removes minor imperfections and reduces ones that are not so minor. It increases contrast so it's easy to read. I will probably send them some money, just out of gratitude, not because I need premium features. Love this app!!
