Even more, with the paid version you can export any document to PDF and send it to any email address or to the cloud.

I've purchased this app and I really like it. It does exactly what it says. I'm pretty much gone paperless as far as receipts go. Being able to do multiple pages and crop images as a huge plus for me.

I would buy again, but I would recommend the following:
- be able to create folders and organize your scans.
- be able to sync with skydrive. I don't think there is an official API for this but there may be some possibilities here: http://skydriveapiclient.codeplex.com/

I also purchased it on its early days. Today it has improved a lot. The image optimization feature added recently just makes it perfect

Hey, pckshd, thanks, nice app!

BTW, how about adding some OCR? ;) I know (I'm developer) it's not easy (especially on device, and from the scratch) but... You may use some free/cheap online (let say fancy cloud :) ) services for that. What do you think? Also, good business card reading option will be helpful (card readers, currently available on marketplace, just awful)

P.S. Try this: http://snipt.org/lOgh/
