The 2 stars are for the much better times before. Lately the ads are something really annoying and frustrating especially for someone who doesn't use the App on a daily basis, it's really rediculoues when you need to use the App once or twice a week like urgently and then you have to wait forever for the ads to end before being able to use it and sometimes you are forced to completely close it and open it again for being stuck in the ad page not knowing how to get back to the App to use it.

Sorry that we have to monetize via advertising now to support our R&D. You can click the "x" or "skip" on the ads to close it in the app, or upgrade to premium to remove all ads. We will also improve our app.
If you can't close it or view the ads frequently, pls send us the screenshots and report from CS app->Me->Feedback for analysis. Thanks

edit: My original review below was in 2016 and STILL appplies.. that's how amazing it is and continues to be. This app is super intuitive, easy to use, and the pictures come out amazing as if you were really scanning them. When I was forced to take online classes for the remainder of my college turn, this was a LIFE SAVER. Not only that, I could scan my homework on the go - at a diner, in the break room, in a car/bus. I couldn't have graduated without it!! I would give it more stars if I could!

I have used CamScanner for many years, and recommended it to others many times. even as free and "free" alternatives have grown, none have the power and convenience CS offers. for relatively light subscription fee, I can leave my lovely desktop scanner gathering dust, capture presentations in classes, ensure copies of documents and IDs and so much more.
