Cannot cancel a Scan, bigger problem now that 80+% come out much blurrier than before the September update, on the same Samsung S22+. Once you click the shutter and set the borders, you cannot cancel the scan no matter how bad or blurry it is, you are forced to follow all the way through to save/ upload the file to delete later by going to another app. This was great before the latest update, but I reccomend starting to look for alternatives. (5 stars on prev version, 2 stars now)

Works great. Pretty good at cropping the paper automatically and you can save the file as an image or a PDF making saving multiple images as one file in your OneDrive super easy. It's also dead simple to use. Open the app, look at the thing you want to scan, and shoot. If you want to put multiple in the same file or do multiple at once that's super easy, just hit the little button next to the camera button.

With dark mode enabled on my phone, the button to take photo is almost invisible - a slightly lighter grey. Took me forever to realise that's why the app "wasn't working" as without a button I thought it would snap pic automatically on recognising the doc. I like that you can choose pdf/image, and where to save (phone, OneDrive etc), but would be better if you could select specific folder in OneDrive too.
