Pros and cons of PaperScan app for iPhone and iPad

PaperScan app good for

Great, fast app with a neat design and all important functions that one looks for in a scan app!!!
Nice, easy scanning. The crop function is better than in camscanner, but it lacks grayscale/magic feature to reduce PDF size. Also: no option to select Dropbox folder. Add those features and Ill add another star.
Automatic scan is a real good productivity feature. Neat and clean design.
Right function set and very good interaction, nice scan quality, I am doing most of my scans with it now and I do not want to miss it anymore
This a nice app for all DocuWare users. It enables easy and fast upload to your filecabinet or basket.

Some bad moments

This application is totally useless. With dirty bugs and ads for a company...
Perfect for capturing a document and sending it to drop box. It just works.
I really liked the auto recognition of the image edges. This takes a lot of the focusing and aligning work away of scanning from my phone.
I use PaperScan for the many receipts I get during my travels. So far I had to collect them in various envelopes and then tediously re-sort them from various bags and pouches when back at the office or home. Now I just PaperScan and clip them on the go - then have them ready in my Dropbox when I get home. Love it. :) The scan function enhances the scan automatically which works great. Take care though that the contrast between receipt and background is high otherwise the app sometimes doesnt recognize the scan. You can hold it in your hand against a dark backdrop though.
Hard to use , slow. Makes you rubber band document pages and wait before uploading. Just taking a picture with your phone and sending it via email is better than this app.
I love using this app. It is simple and easy to navigate an upload process. I highly recommend it!
