“the user credentials are needed to obtain access token.Please call the non-silent acquireTokenWithResource methods.” Why do I get this message every time I try to use the app? It’s been happening since the last update.

Default filename and filename categories
Default filename and file naming pattern should be configurable.
Also it would be great to have quick categories (e.g. "notes", "to-do", "personal") which can be selected after photo is taken and which, among other, influence the file naming pattern (respectively "notesYYYYMMDD-COUNTER.jpg", "to-doYYYYMMDD-COUNTER.jpg", etc)
They could also add respective (configurable) by xmp keywords and/or influence other behaviour.

The option to set a default file name format.
I'd like the option to set something other than your standard default as it's too long. For example: I use this produxt to scan and save my receipts using a file name of yyyy-mm-dd.nn where n is a sequence number. It makes sorting easier so even if I could manually set yyyy-mm- as default and change it each month it would make things easier.

When I import an image, it is automatically cropped. I then have to go and manually change the page dimensions. Given me the option to automatically import an image and have the entire image selected not cropped.

Export files when offline
Would be good to have the possibility to save a document as pdf also offline. By now seems it is possible to save/export a file only if you are connected to internet. I think this is a big limitation, in case you are temporarly without internet.

Outlook
I like the business card scanner, but there are too many steps required to get a card into my Outlook contacts on my laptop.
Also, please put an image of the card itself into the Outlook contact itself (like the Dymo Business Card Scanner does). This helps if there is an error in the extraction of data from the scan.
While I'm at it, the accuracy of the extraction could be improved. My Dymo Business Card Scanner has less extraction errors, and that is quite old now.

Bluetooth sharing with PC and Phones
Very often I need to transfer scanned documents from the smartphone to my computer, but I can't do it when I have no Internet connection at the moment.
If devices are next to each other, you can share documents by using Bluetooth and put directly in OneNote and pass OneDrive.

when the software tries to straighten a document, it ends up: 1) altering the document width and height proportions and 2) introducing distortions that are not present in the page itself
Sub 1) it should be possible to tell the software to format the page to various szes eg. A4, letter, etc.

Offset active cropping handle
Right now the active handle is directly beneath the finger which makes it very hard to pin point exactly where to place it. Offset and magnify it would be a huge improvement.
