I appreciate the security of sending a pdf via email. Thank you! ### 5/5 — The best scanning app. Period. *2020-07-03, version 1.6.5* Intuitive, easy to use, and just simply amazing!! The only advice I’d give for scanning photos or colored documents is to make sure you are in a well lit room where the colors “look” as they actually are. After that edit the photos to accentuate the contrast and reduce any over exposed parts of the document, else if you edit and want a color pdf, there is a chance of blowing out some detail. The only advice I’d give the developers is to maybe add in a function to post process the brightness, contrast & saturation after scan, and maybe also add in an ability to fill and sign pdf files. This is a amazingly utilitarian app and almost essential for any kind of activity involving paperwork. Backing up and emailing documents is a snap. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inutile *2023-05-30* Extrêmement limite sans payer et qualité vraiment basse ### 1/5 — Keeps asking me to buy the subscription *2021-10-15* Wasn’t able to extract text from an image even once, instead after tapping “done” it takes me back to the subscription page - 3 day Trial/Yearly.
