This genius scan is the perfect app I've been searching for. I just did my first scan of an eight page document. My printer just won't work and, I needed to send a document to a friend on hard paper of which I should have used the scanner of my printer that got damaged. Fortunately, the genius scanner is very accessible with screen reader for the accessibility of blind people around the world. Please make more improvement on the app and make it more accessible for quick access to the blind. Thx.

Can't even try it out without paying for a year. The basic plan is just a camera, no text recognition - that isn't scanning! Overpriced anyway, even if it's excellent, and I only occasionally need to scan. (If I've got my facts wrong, blame poor onboarding/explanations in the app.) Also, cropping/select area is tricky as it's only possible to pick up corners, no simple adjustment of height/width but the edges slant even picked up dead centre. A pity, as the UI is lovely - if only it was usable.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We should add cropping from the edges in the future. The free version of Genius Scan includes all basic scanning features and image-processing algorithms. Text Recognition, which goes beyond scanning, is available with an advanced plan.

Reasonable. Some niggles, eg smart renaming doesn't seem to be available for android, despite being a listed feature of ultra. Although I am subscribed to ultra I keep getting messages saying my documents aren't being synced. Also, doesn't seem to be a way to turn on text recognition for all documents. Tagging is a bit clunky, particularly when using to search

Hi Nick, concerning smart document renaming, you're right, it's not yet available on Android, but we're currently working on it. For your other remarks, I'd be very interested to get a more detailed feedback from you. Would you mind sending us an email at android.support@thegrizzlylabs.com with any details you may find useful (screenshots...)?
