9 great PDF scanner apps you should use instead of Microsoft Lens

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 14:00:29

Andy Walker / Android Authority There comes a time when all great apps must die, especially if Microsoft owns them. Redmond has taken many tools away from me, from Sunrise Calendar to Wunderlist, and now it’s hooking Microsoft Lens from the stage. The PDF scanner app made it easy to grab physical documents and transform them into digital copies without a bulky scanner. It was nothing fancy, but it did its job effortlessly. While Lens is undoubtedly one of the more useful tools Microsoft has gi

Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?

In which I attempt to be pragmatic. Are you allowed to run whatever computer program you want on the hardware you own? This is a question where freedom, practicality, and reality all collide into a mess. Google has recently announced that Android users will only be able to install apps which have been digitally signed by developers who have registered their name and other legal details with Google. To many people, this signals the death of "sideloading" - the ability to install apps which don'

I tested Pixel Journal vs Apple Journal to see if AI insights can beat a mindfulness approach

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the Apple Journal app in 2023, I was pretty excited. As an old-school physical journal aficionado, I’ve tried loads of journaling apps going back to the early days of smartphones and I have my favorites. However, more apps that bring new ideas and features to the mix are always welcome. To be fair, I didn’t expect to swap out my preferred app. But swap out I did.

iPad vs iPad Air: With a $150 price gap, is the Air still worth the premium?

Apple has two great, affordable iPads that most people consider: the base iPad, and the iPad Air. Over time, these iPads have always been relatively similar, making it a rather interesting debate. With current deals, theres only $150 between these two iPads, which really begs the question: should you pay more for the iPad Air, or save some money with the base iPad?

The new smartphones will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features preinstalled — and any new features Apple reveals that day.

At the end of the season, those tokens turned into currency for spending at a karaoke BBQ, with games and toys up for grabs.

M4 MacBook Pro: One of the first worthy upgrades for Apple Silicon Mac users

However, there are a number of key features that make it worth upgrading to, even if you already have an older 14″ MacBook Pro. Why M4?
