Works very well, but I do not like being forced into an annual subscription if I want the premium features. The paywall is fine, but I'd prefer monthly billing, even at a higher cost. Unlike many, I will need this app only occasionally, so an annual sub doesn't make sense for me. Better still if I could pay once and be done with it, which I understand *used* to be the pricing model. Either way, you'll get no subscription from me. I'll cope with less functionality for the few scans I need.

It's not great in terms of user friendly at all. Even with premium. It does have quality scans. But controling where they are saved is a real pain and doesnt work. As well, aftet you scan terminating the process seems impossible it just wants to keep scanning. and then asking if you want to delete the one you are trying to save. not logical.

Updated after the quick response from customer service. Much appreciated! I can export/share using Gmail, Signal or Telegram texts, although not my regular email or text. Raised from one star to three. Will test more. I'm trying the app again after several years. It says I can export manually for free. But when I try to export, it immediately goes to paid plans. I have tried the help file but still can't export the scan. It is not much use to scan if I can't move it where I need it. Any help?

Hi Carolyn. The free version of Genius Scan allows you to export to other apps on your device, via text messages and email. Other export destinations like OneDrive or Dropbox require a subscription. Don't hesitate to reach out at android.support@thegrizzlylabs.com if you need more help.

What's new

We've fixed an error ("Cannot open directory") that happened when exporting to a Memory Storage destination.
