So far I like it. I downloaded like 8 of these apps to try, and this one is the only one that didn't immediately demand payment as soon as I opened it. All the others immediately had a subscribe screen, and if you hit x, an ad that was over the whole screen. This one has a non intrusive banner ad.

Unnecessarily clunky. Once I scan a document(s) there should be the option to review them then save. I shouldn't have to go to the hamburger menu to save it to my gallery, it should be part of the standard process. Also, corner detection is not the greatest so you have to waste time fiddling with it to get it right. Need an example? Check out Microsoft's Lens app. Not saying to copy it, but it's a damned good example of how to do it right. Too bad they discontinued it.

When I first started using the app, scanned documents appeared in a folder in my gallery, but that stopped happening at some point. Now I have to email them to myself from the app after scanning and then save them to my phone, or else I just can't access the document at all. I'm not sure where some reviewers get the idea that you have to pay for the app to send documents, that is just not true at all. It's completely free.
