Ratings and reviews

Update 8/14/22: crashes almost every time I try to scan something. This gets 4 stars for being completely free and open source, with no ads. It's also very easy to use. However I do have an issue with the app crashing for me when I try to add more pages to a folder than already has about 15 pages. Another suggestion I have is when scanning multiple pages at a time, it would be nice to not have to scroll through and select the same filter every single time you take another picture.

The app is great. It can be a good substitute of camscanner but has some problems: - it has memory management problem cannot scan and edit more than 35 to 40 pages. After that it starts crashing. I don't know whether it has something to do with optimization, or the way it stores data or because of high quality images. - there is no magnification available when cropping using edges and/or corners, the fingers obscure the view.

I eally like this open source alternative but it's document boundary recognition doesn't work mostlt of the time for me on normal scans. they create a tiny thing and I have to pull the whole thing apart one dot after the other and I'd I scan multiple pages that gets tedious...
