This app is one of the best scanners. It got me through the Covid lockdown in highschhool, and still finds its use in college applications. Support was very helpful; they helped restore my lifetime payment from the old version of this app to the new one. I also like the implementation of their own cloud storage service! I do think the Plus plan should still have a lifetime option due to not needing to pay for cloud storage, imo. But the convenience of the plus plan is worth the money.

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!!

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.

Hi Todd, thank you for your feedback. You can return to your previous page by tapping the miniature scan at the left of the capture button. If you only need to scan 1 page, tap the icon at the top-right of your screen to enable single mode. Don't hesitate to reach out at android.support@thegrizzlylabs.com if you need help.

What's new

- The curvature correction can now be enabled or disabled by default from the application settings
- We've continued to improve the text recognition behavior, especially in edge cases (e.g. when no language is selected)
- We've also fixed a crash happening on some devices when editing the document title
