### 1/5 — Kdan turned this app into trash

*2025-06-02, version 6.6.3*

I have purchased creativity suite on my apple id but now kdan added another pay wall of pro version and turned all its apps into trash what a greediness this is simply byecott this kind of sellers and developers

### 4/5 — おおむね満足も改善の余地あり

*2025-04-02*

類似のアプリの無料版の機能が著しく制限されたのでこちらに移行。使いやすくて概ね満足していますが、不便な点もあります。

・アプリを起動するといきなりカメラが起動される（画像の編集などをしたい場合もあるので）
・画面上部の項目（画像タイトル、PDF、三点リーダーのボタンなど）が、白背景に白字で非常に見づらい
・スキャンした画像をエクスポート→カメラロールに保存すると、順序が逆になる（文書を画像化する場合結構困る）

このあたりが改善されてほしいです。
