It's really easy to use firstly. I had to switch to this from camscanner because of a government ban in my country and it has done the exact functionalities of camscanner but better. And since it's Microsoft, it's totally trustworthy. Nothing more to say about it other than it being an app that does its job best!
Nothing at all. It works as advertised and Is the perect alternative to anyone looking for a camscanner clone

Microsoft Lens is a very application for day-to-day scanning of documents, it adjusts the focus and tries to get the best scan possible using mobile. Overall it is a very useful application.
The biggest plus is it is free of cost. One can easily scan documents with the help of a mobile phone and collate the information on Office lens. It has support to share the files across
Editing options are a bit slow and not up to the mark. It is a bit slow compared to Camscanner.

Everything is good about this app, but only one thing which makes it irritating . Whenever I do a pdf and send it from the app to whatsApp, I tap send it and it show "Failed to Load media" Please fix this. In Spite of this it is a great app.
This app is amazing! You can make anything with the pictures you take... PDF, PPT, Word doc etc. Plus, the cropping capabilities are awesome as well. There are features which enable you to rename, save or share the document right after you create it! The UI is fine and UX is on the next level! And if you are looking for something to replace CamScanner, then this is the best option as it provides many more features like reorder images etc.
Free and interface is nice! One thing that would be nice is if the rotate doc option could be at the top of the menu so you don't have to open the pop-up menu every time.

Microsoft Lens
A completely free sw to store images of important data like blackboards, documents and pictures
Excellent software to take quick pictures and share as professional documents and scans.
Absolutely free, no need for Office 365 to use it. You just have to have a normal outlook or live account. Or a Microsoft account. Great alternative to AdobeScan and CamScanner. Automatic recognizance of documents, blackboard, pictures and business cards to store it to the optimum quality. Automatically fix the document angle in the picture to make it look like Cut or fix the picture to the size you...
Sometimes slow but I can accept it because it is recognizing a lot of information in the picture, figuring out what is. No document can be saved locally, only the pictures.
