“Our strong point is privacy because we do not use any cloud storage, third party cloud storage.”

iScanner also lets you sign documents on the go.  What you scan can be saved as PDF, JPG or TXT.   You can give the app a try…before you buy.  After that…a long term…rather than a monthly subscription…is the best deal.
