It's amazing to me that so few people are not aware of the excellent scanning apps from Google.

They work better, you're not expanding your privacy risk ... and they're free and integrated with Google docs etc.

* namely, Drive Scan and Photoscan

I use Google Docs all the time and need those and have never heard of them. Google is so frustrating sometimes.

Never heard of Google Drive Scan, but I can't find it in the Play Store either?

It's built into the Google Drive app, press + and scan. https://support.google.com/drive/answer/3145835

I’ll vouch for PhotoScan. Great for digitising Instax shots!

I was about to write something cocky like "I thought facebook had more installs than that" since the title didn't name the malware app.

But damn, I'm (sort of) affected. I've had the paid version of CamScanner for years before the alternative existed. Apparently the paid version isn't affected, but it's still gone from my phone.

I had been using it until a FLOSS alternative showed up (Open Note Scanner), it was very annoying in terms of ads, but I'm surprised that is has some kind of malware inside

Google Drive has a scanner too.

Open Note Scanner in F-Droid has been serving my (admittedly limited) needs instead.

I use Genius Scan on my iPhone to scan documents that I need to archive (I think it's also available for Android).

In addition to automatic cropping it fixes any distortions so the documents look as if they had been scanned with a flatbed scanner. It works really well for my purpose.

(I have no affiliation with them, just love the app)

I've transitioned to using Adobe Scan a few months ago, and no complaints there

I'm just using the Dropbox app, scanning is included.

Scanbot is another working alternative.

I use Adobe Scan.
