Ratings and reviews

Great for digitizing documents. I use it all the time for signed documents I need to send. Replaces what faxes we're for. I especially like how I don't need to square up to the document as it somehow accounts for me holding my phone at a angle. I also love how I can create a number of formats such as image, PDF, or even a OneNote page. I then can share a link to the document which allows someone to download the document without even having a Microsoft account. There are so much more. Love it!

I really love this app!! It's not only free to use, but it works wonderfully to take pics with my cellphone of documents and paperwork and things like that, and it actually takes very clear and legable pics of them and you can save them to your phone or somewhere else as a pic or pdf whatever you like. And you can share with the share button to email or text message, or wherever you like. Its the only app I use to do this with. Prints clear pages!!

If you scan a lot of documents on your phone, this app is amazing. I hate when try to "scan" my documents and my phone casts a shadow on my pages. With this app, you can take the shot from an angle and it will automatically flatten the image out as if you scanned it normally. It even fills in parts of the page if you accidentally cut off page in your shot!
