Download OneDrive?

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.

Absolute Trash

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.

Disappointing copy cat

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.

It’s a scan

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

Pior app que ja vi!

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!!!

Horrible

Used to be a very handy app with limited ads now it’s not even tolerable to use. Constant ads, not worth it even using it if it’s free

WORST APP EVER

We’re sorry the ads made it difficult to complete your document. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are working to improve how ads are shown so they don’t interrupt essential actions. Your feedback will help us make the app easier to use.

Too many ads

There are just too many ads, I shouldn’t need to watch 3 minutes of ads to scan one document, and you don’t need to prompt me twice to sign up for $7/week ad free service. You’re better off just avoiding the app

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that frequent ads and subscription prompts can disrupt the scanning experience. We’re reviewing their frequency and placement to make the free version more convenient to use while keeping Premium optional.

Duplicate charges

Even after cancelling the subscription, I have been charged. Also I was charged twice for the same period. Also it is super difficult to find the option for cancelling subscription to this app
Would never recommend this app to anyone

Garbage app

Genuinely the worst app I have ever used in my life, extremely buggy and unreliable + if you don’t pay for their overpriced subscription you’ll be spammed with ads before u can finally export your files.
