Ratings and reviews

The scan quality really has improved since I first try the app at the beginning of it being on the play store (thanks reddit). No luck for me, it is now a subscription feature to have Google drive sync. Hell even saving to local is behind a monthly paywall. I'll add the fifth star if such a basic feature come back to free or one time fee, I won't be able (and so many other people) to afford a subscription for everything, especially not for a scanner app on phone that I don't use profesionnaly.

Absolutely brilliant. I don't really ever rate apps, but this one has been a life saver and totally deserves it. Scans the documents in seconds with amazing quality, and gives you a number of options to import them (premium options are available but you still can use it without actually having to pay for it or watching ads). If you need to scan a lot of documents it'll definitely be worth paying for the paid version, still the free one is absolutely amazing. Props to the developers!

I had everything backed up onto my phone and tried to restore the backup because of the latest GS update, and it is saying the backup file is now invalid, so now I've lost all of my previous stuff and I followed all of the instructions to restore my purchases and it still won't recognize my backup file. What is the point of backing up your files if the app won't recognize the backup. That really sucks and I'm super disappointed because I use this app a lot for all of my music charts!
