Freezes, doesn't work on my wife's Oppo Reno phone. Disappointing as it is ok on my Samsung phone.

Ge*****, 2026-04-10

That was an OK scanner app, until it stopped working on my phone (Xperia 1 IV) after an update, couldn't handle phones with multiple lenses. Also why sharing is jpg by default. Whe a document is scanned as opposed to photographed it because I want a printable PDF file with the right adjustments to look good on print.
