Privacy policy AFTER the fact

App does not show intrusive privacy policies until after you purchase. Will complain to Apple about this bait and switch.

Life saver

I've been using this app for years now. I scan almost every thing from rent receipts, child support checks, Medical records and so much more. I love this app because it literally gets rid of junk paper laying around. Because I stor so many important document here, I would love to see a back up. I upgraded from iPhone 6s to a 7, some of my most favorite apps were deleted for good. I know that this app links to Dropbox but I would like to see a better back-up for it. I really don't know what I would do if I lost this app. It's like carrying around a file cabinet.
This is type of app that you just need.😄

Confusing, chaotic crap

Sounds great in the App Store description. Try using it and you will quickly move on to another app that is more clear and descriptive. This app is a confusing screen of icons that make no sense. OK, I can snap or open a jpg from the camera, but then what? No fine rotation tool (like the excellent edit function in the camera roll), no clear and easy button for make pdf. What is seems to do is to just make a new jpg - arrrgghh. I’m still trying to sort this out. Made a jpg, check. Open jpg, check. Now what? I have two 90 degree buttons, a photo tool button, and an OCR button. None of these actually produce a PDF. How is this actually done????

Drop this and move on - there are plenty of other $3-$5 apps that do this better. All I wanted to do was to take a photo and make it a PDF. Still impossible right now.

Oh, and I HATE icons that have no clear meaning!!

Works for searchable PDFs

Works great as a searchable pdf generator. This is great for scanning in text. I only wish it was better at scanning in data like numbers in tables and could turn them into a spreadsheet (like excel). Also it would be nice to have one drive or other cloud service integration.

One minor thing...

The new update works fine, with the exception of the gamma correction function. Since the latest update, once you've pressed "done", the preview doesn't close out to the corrected image, you have to press "done" to save the correction, and then "cancel" to close out.
It may not seem like a big issue, until you have a large number of pages to gamma correct all at once.
