UPDATE: Still love this app as my go to scanner. But needs to add passcode or biometrics to lock access (as on iOS version)! Overall a great app. What I'd like to see is that the camera can be controlled to manually take picture. The app will often scan page before I have a chance to align the page, forcing me to take repeated photos of page before its correct. (UPDATE: Changed to 5 stars, based on feedback from developer. Manual picture does indeed work well.)

I've had this app for a couple years. It used to be called scanbot, and it was great. A good simple scanner. I recently opened it after not needing to use it for over a month and MAN does it suck now! You have to watch an ad every time you scan. And now there is a limit to how many pages you can scan into one document, which is 2 pages, unless you want to pay. Not to mention a menu pops up with purchase options every time you click on anything or try to go anywhere within the app. Deleting NOW.

Unfortunately, after wasting countless hours of time, due to SwiftScan's repeatedly failed attempts to produce a single completed scan (not a JPG or PDF). I definitely would not recommend this app to anyone. BTW, the previous name of this app was, "Scanbot," and was literally, THE BEST SCANNER. Their generously low price for upgrading to Scanbot Premium/Pro (via one-time payment) was also extremely cheaper, especially when COMPARED TO SwiftScan's RATES for their SUBSCRIPTION PLAN(S).
