Microsoft Lens: PDF Scanner

At some point in the last year, the app was updated and now no longer keeps me logged in. It’s a huge pain to log in because I have to continually type in my entire email and then use Authenticator, which sometimes doesn’t work. This creates huge friction when wanting to use Lena to make a quick save of an important document. This used to be one of my favorite apps and had previously recommended it to many. Now I am looking for an alternative. Developer should know that login issues are a huge problem for adoption and retention.

The app is not making a pdf file from multiple pages scans.

Lens could be great, especially with the fact that it’s supposedly designed to integrate with Microsoft products. But it won’t keep my account logged in, it erases whatever scans you’ve taken if you login after scanning, and it takes some effort to make sure you’re logged in, much less warning you that your account has been disconnected when it starts. A sad example of a business that seems to be sacrificing what it’s done well to make useless AI tools.

The several scanner apps I tried have skewed edge correction except this app. So stupid.

No-brainer choice in the image capture market for windows users.

Просто замечательно как все может работать без танцев с бубнами и ежемесячными платежами на десятки долларов. в моём конкретном случае приложение помогло сделать PDF документ просто сфотографировав страницы учебника. на всю это потребовалось буквально несколько минут. Я в восторге от такой функциональности и удобства, особенно от Майкрософт! Спасибо, народ!

For whatever reasons I can’t save properly in one drive and it offers no help to resolve

App seems broken on iPhone 15pro, every capture is rainbow colored and blurry.

Cam Scanner was one of the first out but they want you to put the scans in their online database. Lens has the ability to put your scans almost anywhere. My biggest complaint is that on my iPhone 14 Pro, (I think all the Pro versions) It doesn’t focus correctly on small scans like business cards or receipts if you get close enough to fill the screen. You are left with three choices. Blurry image, lower resolution image because you need to pull back and not fill the screen, or take a picture with the regular iPhone camera and import it to crop and set the appropriate filters. I have chosen the latter, I’m reminded what a pain it is every time I use it. I love the fact that that you can store the images, particularly in OneDrive, which I believe is truly the best cloud storage. The problem is that even if you have one drive loaded on your phone and are fully logged in, you are required to log in again with your full password. It doesn’t remember the last 100 times you used it with the same OneDrive and the same password.😖 Again, a real pain. Otherwise the quality, functionality and ease of use are good. I was hoping Microsoft would fix the above mentioned issues, but so far no…. I’m hoping for a fix sooner verses later. Updated. I now have an iPhone 16 Pro and no changes have been made. Focus for small documents like business cards is unacceptable. In fact you need to take the picture with the iPhone camera app, then import it. The OneDrive interface is also unchanged if not gotten worse. You are required to put in your full account information despite having the OneDrive app open and logged in. Once you get finally log in, there is no option for where to put the document. It never remembers your credentials!!! This level of OneDrive incompetency is considerably lower than other third party apps accessing OneDrive. The only solution is to add the document directly through the OneDrive, but then you have focusing issues again. Microsoft, you can do better!!!!!

One drive keep signing out.. need to login every single time.. please fix this issue
