Pretty good document scanner. It gets the job done without obnoxious ads or pay walls. However, the layout is not very intuitive. During my first time using this app, I had a lot of trouble figuring out where buttons were located for things like saving files and deleting pages. Once you get used to it though, it works great. There are some minor bugs that happen, but I got used to them. Great app, but it needs some work.

This is the app, hands down. If you are looking for a free scanner just for scanning, none compare. The scans are clean, without watermarks, and it is quite easy to figure out. The cut-outs are also super precise. AND NO ADS. this app is amazing, and I'd highly recommend you just download this one and forget about downloading others.

the current iteration of Genius scan includes some features from the previous iteration of Genius scan Plus. The problem is that the new iteration, in order to get the genius plus features that are not in original genius scan second iteration, require a subscription instead of being able to just pay once and have the features forever. This is a tactical failure. Some, like me, are able to pay a one-time fee to gain access to premium features where the concept of a subscription is impossible.
