Flawless mobile scan and easy!

I have added a one touch control on my control center that pulls up the Simple Scan app. I use it all the time, even though I have a desk scanner the simplicity and features of this app are hard to beat.
It takes me literally five seconds to get a one page scan file filed or sent to my photos. Highly recommended!

Great App For document Scanning

I used to only scan documents via the Apple Notes app or via Files App Document Scan Option. Now, I can do it whenever I want and even save the documents DevonThink or other Apps. Cool!

Big bug

I love this app but it has a bug that makes it almost useless. When trying to save a scanned doc there is no way to name or rename it now before saving. It seems to have disappeared. Please fix!!!
