        Not as good as the windows phone version by a long way, eventually it finally linked to save off to onedrive, does crash occasionally, one significant missing feature is that you cannot add multiple images to the same file, on the windows phone version you can hit the plus button and store multiple pages/images to a single file. Also an irritation, when you are entering the title of the saved file, there is no 'x' to delete all of the text as there is on the windows phone version. So all in all, very disappointed, would have expected a better level of feature parity.

        More than just a "camera" I was wondering why I would need this if I have a camera function on my phone. Now I know. It not only takes a picture, but it also senses the size of the document so that the scan is neat and tidy and you don't have to crop. It has other great features such as being able to save it to your one drive. I've been using this a lot for storing receipts and many other things.

        Only One Slight Hitch This is a great scanner app, but I would appreciate it if it was possible to take many photos at once. If I want to scan a multi-page document into OneNote, I have to scan each page individually, go to OneNote, create a new note, and add all of the images to the new note manually instead of just taking a series of pictures in Lens and saving them to OneNote all at once.

        Love this app but... I used to use a different app for scanning documents until I had this app. Now it's installed on all my Android and Windows phones. It does a great job. However, it does not work with my new Huawei phone running ver. 6.0.1. It will scan but will not save the file because I cannot sign in to my Microsoft account.

        I like this so far quite a bit because I scan things quickly. I scan things like my tire information on the info plate on my car door, model number plates on electronics to get information. I've scanned Ned old photos from relatives collections to keep for myself. This is a very handy app.

        Fast and easy to use. Like it I can recommend this app - a lot of useful options to save documents. 2 thing I would add to it - possibility to adjust visual settings ( especially contrast when documents like receipts are less visible) and possibly to save to other cloud storage like Google Drive

        Great app. Would like some options to adjust image after as wiped whiteboard smudges can be over emphasised. Really good app though and gets loads of use. An issue I do have though is that you can't control the scan area you want and that can cause problems

        Digitize all my notes! The one thing I've lacked is a way to make my journal and meeting notes searchable. OneNote OCR allows me to scan in my notes pages and then search them, even works with my lousy handwriting! It's an indispensable tool for me!

        I needed something for receipts that is not tied to the cloud (no data usage). However, the only local place to save is the Gallery, so I cannot keep receipts separated out into their own folder. Will not use. I do really like the imaging, though!

        So much potential not used I liked it a lot at first and thought it had a lot of potential. I love a lot of things about it and it can be the best scanning app around. But like I've already said it, a scanning app is useless without multi-page scanning. I've been waiting for it for more than 4 months, still nothing... I dropped it from 4 to 3 stars and now to 2. Sorry but like I said a scanning app needs to have multi-page scanning. I may have to move on eventually, though I'd really wish to see this app realize its potential

        Notifications It sent a notification to my work email address when I scanned to a personal one note account. It shouldn't do that. I don't know how to turn off or change the email address that it is sending the notifications to. My settings don't show my work email address on anything I could find.

        Multiple images missing This used to have an option to take a batch of photos but the interface only allows you to take one shot then you have to save that before taking the next. All a bit laborious now.

        Cannot save documents. "Manage Documents" fails to connect, times out with "no internet connection" even though I am browsing, reading mail, etc. online. No clue as to where to get support. Too bad. Potentially useful app.

        Should be able to scan multiple pages to one .pdf file, rather than saving straight after a scan ask 'Scan another page or Save file?' Saved images into .pdf of Whiteboard images are often flipped. Saving .jpg files moves the photo folder in OneDrive if the photo folder has been purposely moved by the user prior.

        It's alright, but... It's alright but there's a few problems. For me. It doesn't really work. Some times it does actually work but most of the time it doesn't. I take a picture of something and try to turn it into text on a word document but it doesn't work at all and it's quite frustrating.

        Great - Save Icon Bar Issue Nice. Just needs better settings. Save icon bar sometimes obscures the image to be scanned, below it. This sometimes leads to errors where the underlying image is properly positioned & unintended cropping. Please fix. Kudos so far.

        In Android 7.1.1, app freezes or crashes when trying to open a converted PDF file. The conversion goes just fine, the PDF is downloaded just fine, it can be opened in a PDF viewer outside of the app just fine. Only trying to open it from Office Lens freezes the app.

        Batch mode missing! It is very good, but misses a critical feature that ANY other scan app has, batch mode. It is very annoying to have to do this on another app if needed. It's a shame since it looks very good for a single photo scan, but I'm sticking with the competition because of that missing feature.

        Great bare bones option for saving receipts I do wish this had better ways to save the image files, especially cloud options, because I have to manually back up files to Google Drive since OneDrive is useless by comparison. Forced use of proprietary software is my biggest problem with Microsoft, and it shows here too unfortunately. Otherwise, it's a very simple tool. It doesn't do auto-categorization, but you can do that in the file name and make it easily searchable by type, date, and time. Great for writing off meals, etc as an Uber driver.

        Convenient, but EXTREMELY unreliable. Do not use this program for business or for anything important. I scanned over 400 client originals expecting the file to be uploaded to OneDrive, almost half gave error of "couldn't upload" without any way to recover the file.
