Lacks Search

It’s a fantastic app for scanning and storing. Its ability to trim the documents against the background is awesome. I use it almost everyday. The only complaint is I can’t search through the file names I saved the scans in iPhone. That would be awesome. Please add that feature.

Great app, let down by Onedrive sign-in issues

As a scanner app this is great. Accurately identifies document borders and captures high quality images.
However upload to Onedrive is basically useless. Constantly asking me to sign in to Onedrive. Given that you have to have long passwords these days it's pretty much unusable, even with a password manager.
If you want to use this app for scanning use one of the other upload options.
Shame as Onedrive is my main cloud storage repository.

Annoying

No way to force it to scan the full document. If it decides to slice out part of a document that’s all you get.

UX needs an update.

The best

Es la mejor app para convertir a PDF

Defaults to photo..?

When I scan a document, click done, it gives me an option to send as an email. When I do this it’s still a photo. Why? I’m in the “document” tool. It should just be a pdf. If I wanted a photo I would take a photo with my phone, or have “photo” selected.
So I have to save it as a PDF, then select it, and then send it. Lots of unnecessary steps.

Works ok

Bit fiddly to start with but ok

Thank you google

I love you guys for this beautiful app.
I wish you guys all the best

Can’t complain

It does the job what it supposed to do, without ads. More than enough.

Much better than scannable

So far I love this app and it is a lot more flexible and considerably faster then what I had. I used SCANNABLE several times a week for years and I’m truly grateful that they provided a free app. Now they want to charge me over $125 per year , forcing the customer to link the scanner app to Evernote without having made improvements in accuracy, capture and automatic cropping, which was glitchy.
Thank you, Microsoft for developing this and please be reasonable in your rates when you eventually charge for your product,
I use this mainly to copy my printed sheet music in order to transfer PDFs to my iPad.
