It uses up nearly all internal memory during the save process like 10 gb for 100 scans The scanning part is great you hold the phone still it finds the borders of what you are scanning and it snaps the shot (scan). If it's a book it takes two shots one per page. The edit section cleanup feature that uses your finger as the brush and a blend of nearby colors to paint over any flaws. Or you can select the paint over color. Then it saves as pdf. That's the problem part. It takes up so much memory

We appreciate your detailed feedback. To resolve the memory issue, please ensure you have sufficient storage space on your device and consider deleting unnecessary files or apps. Additionally, you can try optimizing the app's settings to reduce memory usage when scanning and saving documents. Thanks, SS

Super easy to use, even if you have never used something like this. There are only so many buttons to click, making it almost impossible to delete your document, so you can click with confidence and figure stuff out. Yet, there are so many options and features available that this a great tool. I'm not the most savvy person, but still, I use this for work almost everyday...with ease and speed.

Scanning documents works great! But, trying to retrieve saved documents is nearly impossible. Even searching for them when they've been saved to my device is ridiculous and nearly impossible!!! Adobe Scan has been around for years, and they still haven't made it easy to retrieve and read or send documents saved to a device. Should be able to just search, find, and do what you want with it.
