    Almost worked great! Until things went south fast and hard. Had to rescan everything that was scanned in with a different app..
  • Good overall, and free

    Overall great scanning app, I wish it automatically took snapshots. It is not as good as Notability at finding the edges of the document, and the automatic image touch up isn’t as quite as pretty, but it’s free and has never lost my work with weird bugs. Works well, the text in the image is fully legible, and you can export as a PDF.

    I swear Microsoft doesn’t understand the Internet. Been trying to take photos of documents and save them to OneDrive, this used to work now it doesn’t. Ask me to sign into my OneDrive I do over and over and it just keeps asking me to sign into my OneDrive and fail to upload the document. Uninstalled reinstalled still won’t work. So I try to save to my phone and I just email the files. Nope, there’s no way for me to find out saving these documents inside the app. Struggled for an hour and I just give up. Time to follow my wife’s suggestion and use a competitors product that actually works.

    The app is great. But if you want to save to OneDrive you have to login every time you upload a document, which is annoying.
  • Super

    This is a nice and neat way to make pictures of writing clear.
  • Good, but hate the poor focus with close captures.

    Cam Scanner was one of the first out but they want you to put the scans in their online database. Lens has the ability to put your scans almost anywhere. My biggest complaint is that on my iPhone 14 Pro, (I think all the Pro versions) It doesn’t focus correctly on small scans like business cards or receipts if you get close enough to fill the screen. You are left with three choices. Blurry image, lower resolution image because you need to pull back and not fill the screen, or take a picture with the regular iPhone camera and import it to crop and set the appropriate filters. I have chosen the latter, I’m reminded what a pain it is every time I use it. I love the fact that that you can store the images, particularly in OneDrive, which I believe is truly the best cloud storage. The problem is that even if you have one drive loaded on your phone and are fully logged in, you are required to log in again with your full password. It doesn’t remember the last 100 times you used it with the same OneDrive and the same password.😖 Again, a real pain. Otherwise the quality, functionality and ease of use are good. I was hoping Microsoft would fix the above mentioned issues, but so far no…. I’m hoping for a fix sooner verses later.
