Thanks for the concise demo, amazing UI and cropping options and epic update. I wasn't expecting that much improvement, thanks again for the hardwork. Can you please add B&W intensity bar(if possible for all filters)? Also, it is very difficult to put the cropping points on corners of image(maybe fixed by allowing drag even outside the image boundaries while cropping points stay inside the boundary). Also, kindly create a telegram group for this app. Add "Made with ❤️ from India".

I was looking for a Rocketbook (reusable notebooks) app alternative. This app works really well. It's also open source and privacy is excellent; so, it's winning in my book. I wish the app had an OCR component for handwriting recognition. Is that possible? The automatic crop feature is really nice. Thank you so so much! Is there a way for me to donate?

Overall really nice app! Only have one problem. Everytime when I try to download the pdf to my device I get the message "failed to generate pdf. Try again". How can I solve this? Edit: I know wat the problem is. The app export folder for a pdf is fixed so you can not change it later. I'm using the app with Resilio Sync to get all mij scanned documents synced with my NAS and Paperless docker container. Hopefully we can choose our own location where to export pdf's in de future!

After using cam scanner for several years, it became very difficult for me to find an alternative. Today i saw and installed your app. I am glad tgat it is ope source. The mai feature i need is to organise the documents into folders. Or you may give a provision for integrating with google drive. Anyway kudos my young friends!! keep it up!!!

Hi, I read all the reviews and downloaded it. But when I tried to scan an image, it goes properly till the cropping part. After I click on the tick mark, all I get is a grey screen. Nothing else. I tried reinstalling but its the same every time. Am I doing something wrong? Edit: Let me clarify. The picture is a grey screen. I can move out and stuff. But the picture itself is just the grey screen. And I cannot export it. I tried importing a picture from gallery and it's the same grey screen.

Extremely bare bones. Can't adjust file output size so it creates HUGE pdfs, making this app virtually useless. Decent interface design and easy to use.
