### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-13, version 2.2.0*

This app is excellent. It’s so easy and user friendly!

### 2/5 — A Lot of Steps

*2026-08-09*

A lot of extra steps that are unnecessary. Ads in the way too. But it’s not forcing me into the paywall so far. Every few scans it makes the paragraphs like half pages. The first time I scanned it again and copied it again. Annoying that I had to redo it to get it to work. Unfortunately on the second time I can’t get it to stop formatting the txt like this. Too long of a process to fix manually for the volume I’m working with. I think it’s time to look for another app that functions more consistently.
