Would give five stars if it could scan an ID from two photos onto a singular page

It's a nice app for making the pic of your document or book compressed, so that the person can download the PDF file with low data. Although it's a nice app

Very poor customer service. I accidentally subscribed and reached out for a refund within a reasonable time, but I did not receive any satisfactory resolution. The support team was not helpful, and I was left paying for a service I did not intend to purchase. Extremely disappointed with the way this issue was handled.
