It will will better if the PDF create can delete

### 2/5 — Can’t View The Preview

*2019-07-24, version 2.1*

The app is great for scanning documents but once you scan them if you don’t save or send it where it needs to go you are stuck scanning them again because it will not open up the previous scan filed for you to preview it 😞

### 2/5 — Glitch or Poor App

*2019-06-29*

Not sure if it’s a glitch but after converting phots to pdf, I couldn’t open or export the file anywhere.

### 3/5 — Yes but..

*2019-05-09, version 2.1*

Ok but some photos end up split in half.  Also when ads come on and you close them you have to reboot your phone to get the app to work again. Hopefully these glitches can be fixed soon.
