Super easy scan to pdf etc. I will never use my scanner again. It squares off your photos into rectangular images and you can choose how it saves them, including your Microsoft one drive. Super handy, super fast, super easy. Unfortunately it has a ten page limit, which seems unfair since my workplace is already paying Microsoft an awful lot of money for office, and Adobe scan doesn't seem to have a page limit despite not costing us anything.

Good for scanning documents if all you have is a mobile phone. Good quality photos and auto straightening works well. In low light struggles to find edges of paper, would be good if there were a way to tell it corners. Cloud save doesn't work reliably, it doesn't tell you if your OneDrive login has failed on the device, but i use local save only. Overall the best app of this type.

This app is a game changer for scanning receipts. It's excellent and it's making my life so much easier. It's saving me a lot of time, as it trims the receipts for me, takes a good clear photo and I hardly ever need to do any edits. I get 20% cash back on all of my goods purchases, so having this time saver is brilliant! I've already recommended it to my friends who are also scanning the receipts. It's really helping everyone. It's so easy to use, just open it like your cam & take a pic & done✅
