## What is Lens?

Our app is a simple yet powerful solution for scanning, editing, and managing your documents in one place. Easily scan receipts, forms, notes, contracts, or ID cards and convert them into clean, high-quality PDF files in seconds.

The app automatically detects edges, enhances clarity, and applies OCR (text recognition) to make scanned documents searchable and easy to share. After scanning, you can edit your PDFs directly — add annotations, highlight text, draw, or make quick adjustments without leaving the app. Organize files into folders, merge multiple pages, and export documents as PDFs or images with ease.

### 1/5 — who the hell is this

*2026-09-01*

this is NOT google. really good impersonation though, props to that. im sure the ‘dev’ will read this, so hello.

### 1/5 — Download OneDrive?

*2026-08-25*

This was my go to app for turning a simple snapshot into a document. I’ve hacked my version of Windows to avoid OneDrive and now you require it on my iPhone? No thanks. Based on other one star reviews it looks like vibe coding and AI have destroyed what this app once was. Shame. I will go back to using a Xerox machine before I use this app again.

### 1/5 — Transcription ne fonctionne pas

*2026-08-23*

C'est vraiment vraiment nul

### 1/5 — Absolute Trash

*2026-08-21*

First, the app worked smoother when it was the free version with no AI. Second, it automatically takes the picture of the document, only it takes it even if you’re not ready so be prepared to take the picture numerous times in case it has a hard time sizing the image and ends up cutting information off. Third, you size the image crop how you want, but there’s no button to accept the image only back and retake, so all that work goes down the drain.

### 1/5 — Disappointing copy cat

*2026-08-20*

Wow! They used a nearly identical logo to the Microsoft lens app. I imagine they’re trying to grab the former Microsoft lens users by tricking them into their paid app.

I guess the bait and switch logo says it all. They’re trying to trick users into downloading the second rate scanner. No thanks – I’ll look for something else.

### 1/5 — It’s a scan

*2026-07-31*

This is a scam. It’s not the real Microsoft app, it doesn’t work and it’s almost impossible to unsubscribe.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. If the app isn’t working as expected, please contact our support team so we can help resolve the issue. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled at any time through your App Store account settings.

### 1/5 — Não baixem!

*2026-07-29*

**Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback e entendemos sua frustração. Algumas funcionalidades agora fazem parte da assinatura Premium, que nos ajuda a continuar desenvolvendo e melhorando o aplicativo. As condições e os preços são apresentados antes da confirmação da assinatura.

### 1/5 — 写真スキャンには向いてない

*2026-07-19*

始める前に無料トライアルに登録しないとスキャンを始められなかった。しかも2種類。
光を自動で除去するとどこかのサイトで書いてあったが、除去されない様子。
写真をスキャンするなら某G◯◯gleさんのやつのほうがおすすめです

**Developer response:** ご意見をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。スキャン機能や画像処理がご期待に沿えず申し訳ございません。より正確で使いやすいスキャン体験を提供できるよう、検出精度や画像処理機能の改善を進めています。いただいたご意見は今後の改善の参考にさせていただきます。

### 1/5 — App horrível

*2026-07-17*

Aplicativo ficou péssimo, antes era muito bom, agora você não consegue fazer nada.

**Developer response:** Sentimos que a experiência com o aplicativo tenha piorado para você. Agradecemos por compartilhar sua opinião — estamos trabalhando continuamente em melhorias para tornar os recursos mais acessíveis e a experiência mais simples. Esperamos que as próximas atualizações atendam melhor às suas expectativas.

### 1/5 — Pior app que ja vi!

*2026-07-16*

Não baixem! Você tem que pagar, a não ser que tenha paciência de gastar 5 minutos de propaganda a cada clique! E pra piorar, mesmo pagando, não funciona corretamente! Escaneei 6 paginas e ao exportar, ele so manda as duas ultimas paginas ou as duas primeiras, perdi meu tempo e paciência!! Que Ódio de app ruim!!!

**Developer response:** Lamentamos pela experiência frustrante. O problema relatado na exportação de várias páginas não é o comportamento esperado e agradecemos por nos avisar. Estamos trabalhando para melhorar a estabilidade e a experiência de digitalização e exportação. Se o problema continuar, entre em contato com nosso suporte para que possamos ajudar.
