I paid for the app, but will not renew. The scans were fine. Some of the tools are good. However, after scanning 51 editions of a newspaper, I noticed that sorting is awful. It certainly wasn't alphabetical or numerical or alphanumeric. I could not download the entire batch at once using either phone or pc app, only 1 at a time. In 8 cases, a page or two I had scanned were missing or showed as a small white box. I did email support to make a request, but did not receive a response.

Hi, we are really sorry that we could not give you the detailed answer here due to the 350-character limit. Could you please email us at asupport@camscanner.com so that we can help you find a solution? Thanks!

Stop changing how this works. I've used this app for more than 10 years and have recommended it to so many people. I stayed with it through all of the time you tried to introduce ads (terrible btw) and then watermarked everything. Now, all of a sudden, it starts blocking out my signature on documents that I'm trying to scan, which makes it pointless and worthless. I have to find another app.

Sorry that we have to monetize via advertising now to support our R&D. You can click the "x" or "skip" on the ads to close it in the app, or upgrade to premium to remove all ads. We will also improve our app. If you can't close it or view the ads frequently, pls send us the screenshots and report from CS app->Me->Feedback for analysis. Thanks

I have been using this app for a few years now and it just keeps getting better. When I first started my search for a scanner app I tried several and Cam Scanner came out on top. I have seen no reason to look elsewhere since it does its job and does it well ! Love this app and the cloud backup has made it even better. This app can enhance any photo of any document and make it look perfect. No matter how off center or how little light the picture has it will fix it and it's faster than printer.
