Cons

The app works how you would expect. The developer is responsive and the app is open source. There is a slight delay when changing menus after adding tags and stuff, but this is no issue. If you use paperless, this app is mandatory for ios.

This is awesome! Works very well with my paperless instance.

This system works really well overall, and I am pleased with it. There is one annoying bug, though: I frequently get kicked out of the document upload screen for no reason. It often happens while I’m renaming or tagging, forcing me to re-upload and lose my changes. Also, when sharing a document, tapping the iOS share button first brings up a window that says “Other apps.” After pressing that, it goes to the normal share screen. The extra step isn’t necessary. It should probably just open the share sheet directly. Anyway, I only have about 20 documents going, but I think this will make finding and sharing important documents a lot easier, and it sits on my secure Synology at home. COOOOOOL!
