The app is missing manual image adjustments, contrast, brightness sharpness etc. The filters are not good enough. In addition it is not clear how to edit the default saving location. You have to click a small arrow which is easy to miss. Finally when scanning a smaller documents like a passport or ID card you cannot select that the final output is in A4 size dimensions. It would be nice if you could the scale of the image to the correct size. Also add both sides of an ID to an A4 document.

App works alright. Sometimes the anticipated rectangle (or quadrilateral for the math folks) is way of, of the article or business card you want to scan. But after wiggling your phone back and forth a few times it works. Some additional features that would make the app better: - if the quadrilateral is correct, make us hold the shape whilst we move our phone in the right position. - have business cards being read (by onenote or whatever) also prompt us the option to add it to our contacts.

Good scanner, but why Doo I have to first save it in a generic place, and only then go back and share with the exact folder in OneDrive??? Why not give the option to save the scanned file directly the right folder, like some other tools allow? Other than that, it's great.
