## Review summary

Users praise the app for crisp scans and useful features, especially for digitizing old photos. However, they repeatedly report saving/export issues, a difficult UI, monetization frustrations (upfront cost plus extra purchases), intrusive rating prompts, and weak support, indicating strong core functionality but usability and pricing problems.

### Pros

- Crisp, high-quality scans with strong auto edge detection.
- Feature-rich scanner with many capabilities.
- Effective for quickly digitizing old photos and documents.
- Generally positive reception and reliable performance for many users.

### Cons

- Cannot save or export scans or edits; editing workflow often fails.
- Confusing, cluttered UI with a steep learning curve; hard to navigate and lacks clear controls (e.g., back button).
- Pricing model includes upfront cost plus additional in-app purchases, with limits on free scans.
- Forced rating prompts interrupt usage and degrade the user experience.
- Limited or no customer support; reports of no help or slow responses.
