The app is so intrusive.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2023-02-14, version 1.7.9*

Why do you people want to make everything so freaking confused. Make technology user friendly.

### 3/5 — Проблема с экспортом

*2023-01-28*

Не получается экспортировать файлы группой. Происходит какой-то глюк, приложение отправляет нужное количество файлов но одинаковых. Приходится каждый файл отправлять по отдельности. В чем проблема?

### 2/5 — Pricing

*2023-01-20, version 1.7.7*

How do you get a price for a used item

### 1/5 — This needs work

*2022-12-15, version 1.7.5*

This doesn’t scan correctly it makes the document look like it was printed in a printer that was running out of ink

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-07-24, version 1.5.8*

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-10-12, version 1.8.5*

App really worked good at 1st now it takes me forever to do my job!! I will be looking for a good dependable app!! This is not one!!

### 1/5 — Being robbed

*2024-07-31, version 1.8.4*

I NEVER SUBCRIBED FOR THIS IM BEING CHARGED 60$ monthly

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-07-26, version 1.8.4*

Poor quality conversions to pdf. Constant pop ups to get you to purchase the monthly subscription.

### 1/5 — Cancelling Subscription

*2024-06-24, version 1.8.4*

I cancelled my subscription last month but I’m still getting charged until July. How is this possible?????

### 1/5 — Lowe’s card

*2024-06-04, version 1.8.4*

Won’t scan to activate

### 1/5 — Substandard

*2024-05-10, version 1.8.4*

OCR in this app does not work as well as the free app that I already have.
The idea of having all of the functions that they say this will do in one place is good. I don’t want to have to retype everything.

### 1/5 — Save your time and money

*2024-05-07, version 1.8.4*

It’s free until you use it. Then I found it non functional—taking scans too fast, blurry, awkward angles, and poor lighting capture. Just don’t. You’d be glad you did

### 1/5 — Nightmare

*2024-01-27, version 1.8.3*

Missed one month subscription payment because I had fraudulent activity on the card I usually use and now they are they are showing that I’m delinquent no matter how times I try to update my payment or contact them. Apple had now reduced use of my phone until they charge me for the service. I use my phone for work and I’m screwed right now. There is nobody running this thing so don’t expect support if something goes wrong.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-01-17, version 1.8.3*

Very hard to use!!!

### 1/5 — N
