Rip off!

I paid a membership fee for unlimited lifetime usage, but now I have to pay to keep using the app. What a rip off and a racket!!!

Bad app

Makes me pay a subscription (not even a one time fee) to use my own camera to scan photos. Only upside is that it’s really good at scanning them.

What a joke

The app has constant pop up’s asking you to buy to the point where it’s unusable they want 40$ a year just to invert colors
