Ratings and reviews

Garbage page detection. App should be really good, but trying to scan multiple pages in a document wastes more time than it would save. The app searches for pages to scan but it will take basically anything: your hand, the floor, a blurry picture of a coffee mug... it snaps anything and moves to the next page. It ruins any document you're trying to scan by taking a bunch of useless pictures. If you can get it to actually take a picture of a page then it's great.

My phone isn't a fancy brand, but does have plenty of RAM, and the camera is of good quality. That said, I did have to tweak a few settings to get my handwritten (in pencil) notes to show clearly. It didn't take long, however, and now I am really happy with the features that allow me to capture, organize, and store all my notes, and to access them from all of my devices. I prefer to save to my Google Drive account instead of Adobe Cloud and there is no problem with that. 5⭐!

I gave it 3 stars only because Scanning works well, but all the features are not free, and I wish I could pay a one time payment. $9.99 a month? Come on. It's sad cause I realIy like this app. it locks a bunch of important features. Too expensive. If it was maybe a one time fee of $10-$20 bucks then maybe, but not monthly, That's ridiculous. I'll look else where, I suggest others do the same.
