Great app, never had an issue. Always gets reinstalled after a device reset. Unfortunately, some Microsoft moron thinks that CoPilot is an adequate substitute despite not having a tenth of the capability as Lens. Don't bother installing unless you need it right now. Not only are they removing it from the play store, it won't work by the end of the year.

This is a great way to scan and save documents, receipts, and more. Scan as many pages as you need, apply filters to each image as needed to improve contrast, change to black/white or grey scale, and highlight colors. Excellent for scanning receipts and related paper docs for expenses, health care tracking. Also great for scanning physical photos.

Useful tool when working with papers which you want to archive digitally. Found no way to start over with the scanning of a multi page document though, without cumbersome one bg one page deletion. It was also not clear to me that almost all save options aren't pdf. Would also be nice if there would be a "black, gray and white" filter.
