Does what it is supposed to do, easy to use. Would however like to see a new feature where you can drill into the folder structure of One Drive to save each scanned doc in a specific folder of your choice, rather than under default 'Pictures' folder. Currently, after saving, I have to manually go back to One Drive to move the scanned file where it is supposed to be, wasting time. Other scanners have this functionality, sure it can be done here as well.
Jay Nair
Scan quality is good. Lacks features. E.g., you can't combine multiple scanned images into a single pdf document. Also, after saving to One drive, can't locate the file. The view function does not seem to take you to the exact location of the file.
Noel Anderson
Loved it before. However the latest android is trapped in a loop and I'm not able to get to the save page to save captured and edited image. The save appears momentarily then immediately switches back to edit/capture screen. Android 7.0 Will be uninstalling because I'm unable to save captured images.
Daniel Olivares
Handy, however lacks features like selecting b/w or color scan. Save type for onedrive is photo, but the pdf option also saves to onedrive. I find the google drive scanner has much easier interface and better processing of scans.
Rob Tait
Could not believe it did nothing promised. Uninstaller, reinstalled. Disconnected Ted the account it automatically logged in to and it is sort of working. Nothing stellar about it but serves a basic function. The Google scanner is better.
Jim Roberts
First use couldn't have been any easier for producing a needed pdf. Thanks Microsoft, I chose this android app because of your company's reputation. Did not disappoint!

Not good for document scanning. Produces blurry results even at highest resolution, and cropping is a pain. Other than that, everything is well done.

Unable to do a simple task like focus on the document. Cam scanner is far more professional. Pity I can't give zero stars

Has nice white balance but thats all. Wrong table/document detection. Postprocessing makes texts and pictures unreadeable. Uninstalling. Normal camera is better.

I use this app fairly often but I hate that I can't save as a pdf to my phone, only allows saving to my OneDrive account. I don't use (or intend to use) OneDrive so why do you not allow pdf saved to device?

This is by far my favorite APP. In combination with OneNote both my professional and personal life is now we'll organized. So many uses including keeping track of receipts, warranties, personal documents, etc. I'm a teacher and I use it regularly to capture documents and photos that I send to OneNote where I then share it with students. I even started giving workshops for students and faculty on both Office Lens and OneNote.

Compared to all other similar software, including Google's, this is the best. It's the most simple, no watermark, and cleans up the image better than others.

Great app! It would be great to allow a little more customization of where the files go when they are scanned. Like the option to create your own scanning preset with a one drive file location would awesome!

I used to depend on big scanner boxes to get digital copies of my documents. But that is history now. This app is very good at what it does. You will get a crystal clear image as good as a scanned copy. Fully satisfied.
