    The free version is in the best Scan app for Androïd I tested. Simple, efficient. No adds just less features

    Magic Mode makes scanning multipage documents fast and easy (no need to snap a picture, the app automatically detects the document in the picture). Also, powerful document organization with smart naming and tags. It supports PDF merging too!

    Main point of this app is to scan or select existing PDF documents simply using intent or chooser. Other apps require payment to access their api/sdk or simply don't have a possible way to do it. So they rely on switching between an app ,file chooser and a scanner.
