### 2/5 — Needs Improvement

*2026-07-27*

My experience with this app wasn't very good. While it has the basic features of a document scanner, I found it less reliable than I expected. The overall performance and user experience could be improved, and it didn't work as smoothly for my needs. I hope future updates make the app more stable and easier to use.

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review. The app is meant to be a barebones app that only handles document scanning and uploading. A new version will be released soon, which addresses some document upload issues with the latest Paperless-ngx versions, so if you were having issues with that, please try the latest version. Any other "performance and user experience" issues would require a further explanation, so please send me an email detailing the issues you're having and I'll make sure they get addressed in a next release.
