Works very well, but I do not like being forced into an annual subscription if I want the premium features. The paywall is fine, but I'd prefer monthly billing, even at a higher cost. Unlike many, I will need this app only occasionally, so an annual sub doesn't make sense for me. Better still if I could pay once and be done with it, which I understand *used* to be the pricing model. Either way, you'll get no subscription from me. I'll cope with less functionality for the few scans I need.

Can you PLEASE FIX THIS?? Obviously, this app is for text/documents. It chops parts/texts off, and alters the color, then I can't tell how long a puzzle takes me. THEN, I cannot recommend it to anyone else in my puzzle groups... I'd send an image of the altered colors/chopped off texts, but that's (stupidly) not an option to do here. This is a Samsung s10 that works just fine. I like I much better than brand-new ones. I've been using this app for almost 3 years. Why Beta now?

I just tried Genius Scan after using Cam Scanner, which was trying to make me pay. Well....Genius Scanner was SO good! I was scanning sheet music, and on the other app you have to line up your phone just right, and it's tricky. But Genius really was Genius, because it automatically started scanning the page, lining up the image by itself....and it was QUICK! So glad I decided to try it. 😀

What’s new
New export plugins for Gmail and Outlook have been added: this allows automatically exporting documents with these email services, just like other supported cloud services.
We've also added the ability to quickly share text of a document: after OCR has run, open the document text content and use the Share button.
When exporting to OneDrive, all shared items may not be visible in the folder picker. We've added a warning with a dedicated help article.
