Great app. But I bought the Pro version in Feb 2021, and now that it's a subscription, my paid premium version is gone and it shows ads again.

Very nice scanning app;The ability to scan batch image in quick seconds makes it superior to the odds but the inability to edit the text is the only negative aspect. please try to fix it to go beyond perfection . Thanks for the app.
