It's simple, light, fast, open-source, free, don't have ads, it's privacy focused and does the job.

I like OpenScan as it is the one FOSS app in a world of propriety document scanners. Whilst it is fairly simplistic, it just works. It easy to turn multiple photos into one PDF file that you can easily share using the built in Android share feature. The only downside of it is that it hasn't been updated since 2021 which is sad to see for such a good app.

It's not as good as the other applications found on the market but it is very good.
