Ratings and reviews

One of the best scanner apps. I'm surprised it can do so many things. Document, Whiteboard, QRcodes, you name it. It also gives you the option to convert your scan into many different file types like images and word docx instead of just pdf. I rarely, if ever, leave reviews on Playstore but I really admire this app so I say thank you to the developers at Microsoft. Edit: Still a great app but I recently encountered a problem where the QR Code Scanner doesn't work at all. Please fix this issue.

Truly terrible! I scanned a few documents and checked to make sure the app was working correctly, and it was so I proceeded to scan many more for over an hour. None of those can be accessed. I can see them in the lens app, however, they cannot be opened or seen in One Note. It is infuriating and I do not recommend this app at all.

Used to love this app and was actively promoting it to friends. I’ve noticed a drop in quality lately capturing documents. I’ve noticed edges furthest from camera are more out of focus and now recently trying to capture pics in documents mode is slightly more out of focus vs photo mode. I wish you continued to develop this app further. It’s essentially the same app for the past 10+ years. Have a capture mode minus filters of any kind. Kind of a no-brainer.
