Ratings and reviews

Disclaimer: I paid for the Adobe app since I use it frequently for work and personal use. So, I don't know if this review will be applicable for users who don't have the full capabilities of Adobe. Review/Experience: User-friendly and straightforward on utilizing the tool. It immediately goes into your Adobe drive once you have captured the picture with your mobile camera. In your Adobe account, you just have to tap and it'll automatically download the picture you've captured.

With a recent update they're pushing a fast scan feature that if you try, will force you to start a trial of their paid tier in order to save everything you've just scanned, even if the rest was done with the regular scanner. So you're stuck at discarding everything and rescanning everything in. Very bad user experience trying to force convert free users to paid.

There's no direct way to save scans to SD card you have to have it saved to Cloud then go in there and manually save it to SD card and that's too much work. Adobe has known about this for 4 years per on Adobe forums from Adobe staff. Nowadays there's no excuse not to have the app set to save it directly to SD card it's not that hard if they actually got people that are actually recently educated on mobile app development. Which appears they got the bottom of the barrel people
