This app produces better quality scans than VFlat. I can't really complain about an app that offers free features and for being able to scan for free it's not bad at all. I like how it keeps all scans in its seperate folder and each available to be edited. With good lighting and steady shots, this app does what expensive scanners can't even come close to producing.

Works fine. sometimes the scanner quality can get a little bad if the lighting is poor or your angle is wrong and it attempts to clean that up, but simple to scan things and then email them. you have to pay if you want to directly export them to an app like Google drive.

Good scanning software, but the paid members to directly upload things to your drive is annoying and pointless, because I can email it to myself and download it to upload to my drive. Sometimes I also wish I could change brightness on specific parts of scams. Overall very good. some brightness change tools would be nice, and get rid of the pointless paywall.
