I used to really like this app. It used to work great, miss fuss. just functionality. whatever happened recently as part of shoving copilot into everything has made it useless. 3 times I tried scanning 2 pages into a PDF. 3 times I couldn't get it to save the result to OneDrive because reasons. Google drive worked on the first try. this is the kind of thing that makes people despise your products.

Product is vastly deprecated from earlier versions In the current version on my Galaxy a15 Samsung phone, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone else. one star, or maybe two star if I'm feeling generous, program has very much worsened it's ability to find the edges of a scan. it generally clips off the left 10-20% of a document unless I redo it multiple times. the product is barely usable.

"Optional" data sharing settings come enabled by default. Even if the 1st thing you do is opt-out under privacy settings, it's more than enough time to exfiltrate a TON of personal info, especially given the app's permission list. I need a document scanned now, but NO WAY is this app staying on my phone!
