Annoying adds

I am really getting annoyed with all the adds that pop up now and hinder my productivity. I am also very unhappy that once you open the app, the subscribe button pops up right where the photo button is, so that right as I am about to press “take a photo,” the subscribe button pops up in front and I end up pressing that instead. Smart in that it gets more people to press it, but stupid in that it brings down the rating.

Review

Very easy to use , edit , email , save documents!! My go to APP !! Cam scan

Will not update.

Very basic scanner. Will work for small scans. Color is very orange regardless of surrounding light source and I have a new phone so the camera is not the issue. Finally I cancelled because the app kept closing out and would not fully reopen.

Enjoying the app

I’ve been helping my Mom with her docs. I take pics from her phone and upload the PDF’s from another app on her iPad from the cloud. The only thing that I don’t like is that shadows are carried over from the photos. Not sure if that’s fixable.

Super!
