Works very well, but I do not like being forced into an annual subscription if I want the premium features. The paywall is fine, but I'd prefer monthly billing, even at a higher cost. Unlike many, I will need this app only occasionally, so an annual sub doesn't make sense for me. Better still if I could pay once and be done with it, which I understand *used* to be the pricing model. Either way, you'll get no subscription from me. I'll cope with less functionality for the few scans I need.

Flawless action even on the most basic use. one of the only apps I've ever downloaded that actually delivers without interruption.. The line, "you get what you pay for" does not apply to this.. Things I would change a out of personal preference more descriptive scan key, date should end with the year. Pros for me I'm not being pressured to buy and not one pop-up (both big big pluses) "don't ever change that you will lose your retention" Marcus fittech inc

seems to have issues where the app does not seem to connect to yahoo Mail very well. As I've tried to take photos and send them through the email I have had more than a dozen fail to send. As I've been trying to use this while the scanner at work was not functioning very well it has caused some issues in my ability to perform tasks set to me. I thought about giving it 1 star, but being that it is simple, easy, and works well enough when it does I went with 2.

We've fixed an Evernote authentication crash on recent app versions.
We've improved the error messages displayed when a Genius Cloud login or synchronization fails because of an Internet connection issue.
We've also improved document processing, especially for some curved documents with thin text lines.
And we've improved the visibility of the cloud synchronization status in dark mode.
