Geniale App … wenn die Suche wieder ginge

Update 07/2026:
seit einigen Monaten funktioniert die Suche nicht mehr. Leider gab es auf meine Anmerkung aus der App heraus keine Reaktion. Ohne eine funktionierende Suche mit OCR ist eine Sammlung von eingescannten Dokumenten quasi nutzlos.
Bitte unbedingt den Fehler beheben, damit man wieder an seine Unterlagen rankommt!
Danke!

Update 2023: Bin total begeistert, entweder ist die App deutlich verbessert worden, oder ich hab endlich den Dreh raus :-) Ein großes Dankeschön an die Entwickler! Einscannen von Kassenbelegen geht nun quasi von alleine, kein manuelles Aufnehmen und anschließendes Zurechtschneiden mehr nötig, egal, wie lang der Beleg ist. Das geht super fix, die App erkennt den Beleg innerhalb 1- 2 Sekunden und ist auch dann beim Abspeichern sehr schnell. Die Volltext-Suche funktioniert auch sehr gut, allerdings nur aus der obersten Ordnerstruktur heraus, nicht innerhalb eines Unterordners.

Compte obligatoire

Je rédige cet avis car je suis très mécontent. D’après les conditions d’Apple, on est pas obligé de créer un compte pour pouvoir utiliser l’application. Ceci est respecté à moitié. En effet, faut se connecter pour importer un fichier. Ce qui est scandaleux. De plus on nous demande le numéro de téléphone ce qui n’a rien à voir avec l’application et qui n’est même pas important. Je déconseille fortement cette application, je vais en profiter pour le signaler à Apple pour non-respect des condition général.
