Tiny Scanner - PDF Scanner App

I used this app for years but just deleted it. I used to be able to email all my documents to myself, but that has now been limited to only 3 documents before you have to pay them. I clicked "email myself" then exited out without actually sending the email, and it still used up one of my free shares despite not actually doing anything.

So far so good...but 3 stars because all you needed to do was advertise the following, "You can save up to 3 documents to be scanned/emailed or upgrade to the Pro version for unlimited sending/saving of your important documents." Versus being prompted to buy it whilst frantically scanning tax information. Being upfront doesn't hurt. And I read the "About Product" section to make sure I didn't miss it.

I have had this app for 5+ yrs. it's been great...use it for everything. I loved this app until today when I went to 'rename' a file. I wanted the file to be hidden somewhat so I was going to rename the file '.' (a period). Once I hit enter, all my files were gone. Years worth of work receipts, personal documents.. you name it. If I had scanned it, it had disappeared. I tried restarting the phone, looking in folders on my phone . Googling how to restore them- nothing came up. Help!

I paid for the pro version. I cannot speak for the issues people have had with the supposedly free app locking them out. I was originally going to leave a 5-star review, but read some other reviews and agree with them that it is unfortunate that you cannot edit the scans (filtering) nor rename them after they are created. The file names used to share the files are also poor (simply the date and time photo file name) although I'm not sure how much control the developer has over that.

I want to be sure if anyone has suggestions to retrieve files, please let me know. Just like a review on 10/20, my files suddenly disappeared!!! I received a notice to upgrade to the paid version, and took the trial to see if that was why. Still nothing! can't seem to retrieve the files from anything, including my cloud. DO NOT USE THIS APP if you want to have your files for later.
