Ratings and reviews

This app is PERFECT. Scan your handwriting, art, anecdotes, or anything on a page. Immediately, it becomes a digital photo. If you don't have access to a printer/copier, and need to quickly get your handwritten work online in order to turn it in, this is the app to do it! I've used it plenty of times since it was introduced to me in college. I wish I had found it sooner!

Scan very rapidly. I live that it's easier to scan than my previous scanner because of less required adjustments. it seems to auto-adjust and quality is great. The only caveat is it's not the most user friendly in terms of sending the document. I kept asking myself well where is the option to share. BUT to be fair this is my first time using the app and I may upgrade the rating to 5-star once I figure that part out.

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.
