first thing that happened when I opened the app was it asked me to get a subscription. Found "continue with basic" underneath which is why I'm rating it 4 stars as the basic version is more or less everything you need, and I'm quite satisfied - and will continue to be so unless I suddenly hit a 'max scans per day reached' wall!

Ok, that WAS my preferred app for scanning. Unfortunately all interesting features are locked behind SUBSCRIPTION. Is this serious? I mean, I don't have a problem to pay for the application. But I have a problem to subscribe to pay your forever because from time to time I want to scan something. I'm looking for other solution now. 2 stars for excellent quality scanning. 3 stars are missing because of the subscription rip off.

Hi, all necessary scanning features are free: scanning, enhancing, editing, storing, and exporting documents. However, if you want to access Genius Scan's most advanced features without a subscription, you can purchase the Genius Scan Enterprise app.

seems to have issues where the app does not seem to connect to yahoo Mail very well. As I've tried to take photos and send them through the email I have had more than a dozen fail to send. As I've been trying to use this while the scanner at work was not functioning very well it has caused some issues in my ability to perform tasks set to me. I thought about giving it 1 star, but being that it is simple, easy, and works well enough when it does I went with 2.
