Ratings and reviews

This application is utterly useless. My experience with it was a disaster, with 234 pages of frustration. There are numerous issues plaguing this app. 🚫Firstly, it consumes an excessive amount of space on the internal device. 🔴Secondly, it lacks the effectiveness that I found in CamScanner. 🔥🔴 attempting to crop documents causes my phone to overheat, and the app crashes abruptly. Is this some kind of joke? I strongly advise against using this app and will never recommend it to anyone.

Marginal quality, to poor, in free edition. IDK if a subscription version is better, but many businesses want the subscription model in hopes of more profit & endless payments. I hate that & avoid "subscriptions " where possible. I used a free scanner & got better and faster results, I did Adobe 2x & some was still blurry, it was slow, etc.

Scanning documents works great! But, trying to retrieve saved documents is nearly impossible. Even searching for them when they've been saved to my device is ridiculous and nearly impossible!!! Adobe Scan has been around for years, and they still haven't made it easy to retrieve and read or send documents saved to a device. Should be able to just search, find, and do what you want with it.
