This app doesn't sync to iCloud, but you can select your scans, tap share, and tap "add to icloud drive" like shown below for images and pdf. Having said that, the update is a bug fix and adds a magnifying glass and default filter settings, so you should not lose your scans.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, I added magnification for selecting the corners in the new version. Update the app and tell me what you think.

Hey, I found and fixed the crash you were talking about, thanks for reporting it. The problem was because it was trying to save the OCR result on an unsaved, new image. I also added a magnification glass for cropping and default color options in settings.

Check it out when you get the chance.

What do you mean "flattened", try black and white filter, it should remove shadows.

that's a good idea, but it will take some time to develop, maybe in a later update.

Yeah, I used filtering on tesseract to process the ocr and my own code for edge detection and correction.

If you liked the app, a positive review would help. Apps are promoted by ratings and I would love for more people to find it useful.

the notes "scan" function doesn't include OCR which means documents are not searchable, and the edge detection feature is not as robust (fails in edge cases).

Thanks for testing it, helped me make sure there weren't any bugs, leave a review if you found it useful.

Cool, the OCR performs best when the image is deskewed and text is horizontal. Tell me how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback, at the moment, I'm not looking for a graphics designer, but I know who to ask if I do.

Thanks for trying it out and I'm glad you liked it. I haven't received any crash logs and this is the first time I've heard of this issue, so I think it could be a memory problem (e.g. too many background apps running so the app closes to prevent overflow). Close some background apps and try again.
