great app! tnx for the tipp
have been looking for smth like that for a long time!
Cool stuff however there are others out there which do not require to download software and are easier to register and use and do a much better job scanning. Qipit i think even lets you scan in color if you want to. I do a lot of whiteboards in color with qipit. works just great for me.
@BibZeKnack
yeap, Qipit and Scanr are other similar tools that can do pretty much everything that Comombo does. I am not sure which one is better though.
True, but there is one big difference: comombo processes the image directly on the phone to 30-80KB.
with scanr or qipit you send 1,5MB and they process on the server side.
Comombo saves a lot of money on data costs – it is 90% cheaper to use

Thanks for the tip, I had no ideaComombo does on-phone compression. That’s one compelling advantage.
