Ratings and reviews

Really like the new version [12-aug-2020], But there are issues 1) No dedicated folder named [SelfScan] could be found on the device storage. Scanned documents is in Android data folder. Please fix this issue. Make a new folder named SelfScan to save the documents on that. 2) zooming 🔍 feature while cropping the edges of the document would be a plus(like CamScanner had). 3)once set the flash mode to torch, then changing the mode don't turn off the torch.

The creation of this app is a great initiative by the government of WB, But it's devoloper team must focus on developing multiple selection of images at once while making the PDF. And I think watermark template is necessary but the new watermark is too large so I had to remove it while making PDFs. Please try to bring us the feature of selecting multiple images when we prepare a PDF(Do it as soon as possible). Or else it's quite hectic for us to select them one by one from Gallery 🙂🙂

This app performs exactly the way you expect it to. It has all the features necessary to scan something easily. I am very happy to have found such an alternative CamScanner. The quality of the scanned PDF is better than Adobe Scan and what's even better is that you can even customise the quality of the scanned PDF. One suggestion: Please design a new and cool icon for this app. Then it will definitely catch up with users worldwide.
