Ratings and reviews

This is a great little app that takes flawless document scans every time. The one thing I find amusing is lining up the white dot with the four corner dots - it's like a challenging video game - and you better be good at hand-eye coordination! But darn if that thing doesn't come out great no matter how messed up my attempt is! Definitely a good tool in the kit.
