Business Card Reader Comments & Reviews 2024

Expensive but the best so far. Business card scanners are largely horrible. I’ve tried every major product and, though it’s hard to believe that in 2021 there aren’t better scanners, all of them fall short. That said, this one is the best. It has room for improvement, however, is worth the money. They even have an email that sends support a detailed email of the image and OCR results, so they are trying! I’m assuming some of this is due to iPhone XR limitations....

Regional Sales Manager. This app has allowed me to organize and act on business contacts and sales leads faster than any device or app that I have seen before. I am still learning about everything it can do, but it has not disappointed me.

Need some improvement. The app is good, scan and reads the cards quick and is fairly intuitive. But there are some important needs for improvement - Application crashes far too many times. Scanned +300 cards and the app crashed more than 50 times, luckily with no loss of info - App should recognize and learn from prior scanning. If you scan several cards from the same firm, it would be good that once 1 is corrected, then forth coming are scanned correctly - Scan is ok, but could be improved, specially for international business cards. Some scanning errors are not understandable - Should try to follow a format for the phones, particularly when there are international cards so they are all recorded properly - Maybe a good idea would be for the app to lear. If I don’t use nicknames, and rename it as the 2nd last name, well that could be the result next scan. Hope to see further updates to the app that take care of some improvements that could be made.

Time saver. I have been using this app for about 8 months now and the only issue I have had is it doesn’t always read the cards completely. I then have to manually fix the issues.

Perfect for what I need! (Japanese/English). I looked at a bunch of apps, and finally decided on this one. I am quite satisfied! The scanning of both Japanese and English characters is fine, and I don’t mind that I have to revise sometimes. It syncs with my Mac and iPhone Contacts quickly, and is easily exported for backup. I love that I can connect to LinkedIn and Facebook, and that the person’s photo can sometimes come up (I can’t figure out, though, how I can determine which photo can be used). Love it! The only feature I would like is if the business card scanned image can be exported along with the other data in the csv file, if that is even remotely possible. I know I can save a picture of the card in my phone, but I prefer not to. Thanks again for creating this!

APP needs lot of work.. try another one!. I have this app.. not very happy with it.. photo taking is fair.. rarely recognize the letters and fields.. I have signed up for the online service for help.. no one has ever responded.. sending emails is useless… I have to edit almost every card…

Love the app, but.... I purchased all the apps in a bundle a while back and for some reason I cannot restore my purchases of all apps. I should be considered premium subscriber, however it’s not recognizing my account as premium and am continuously being asked to pay again. Also having a difficult time reaching customer service. App seems to be intact, however customer service has a lot to be desired.

Good but needs a little work. The map should show the address of the card instead of showing me where I was when I uploaded it. I travel a lot and wanted to upload cards when I get home, not while on the road. Also being able to add a card to more than one group would be nice as well. Otherwise this app seems to do everything else I needed. I won’t be purchasing any upgrades unless they fix either one of things I listed above since it makes it or useful to me with the upload location being attached the card. If I’m doing something wrong please let me know.

Better than all the rest. Easy to use, very accurate character recognition, and syncs easily with my other apps on my phone. I had an app like this one previously and lost all of my contacts in it when apple did an update to the phone. ABBYY allows me to save to multiple apps so I never lose my contacts or business card images again. Thanks!

Easiest way ever to grow my database. This is the easiest way ever I’ve come across building my database for business to business referrals collecting data is instantaneous and I can share my card electronically as well as the paper card and drop them straight into an Excel spreadsheet brilliant!

Almost Perfect - Needs Photo Zoom. The only feature I wish this app had, was a way to zoom in the photos per contact. When I visit a company, I want to quickly flip through the photos to refresh my memory as to who works there. Flipping through cards is good, but the photos are too small to be very helpful. Still, this is the best app out there, really hoping they add this feature.

Accuracy falling. I do not know why, but it seems that the OCR function is degrading in comparison to the initial few months. (This is my 2nd year in use) Obviously cumbersome to go back and manually edit each card; at that point, I might as well create the card on my own instead of using this app. I now switch to manual photo capture and retake it several times to get close enough of reading so I do not have to retype so much. Around 3rd time of retaking I can get 90% usable image. Still a way to go…

Info on app site. I cannot state clear enough information was posted on the App when you looking at it to see if it something you want. I think it is ridiculous to charge that amount for something you can do yourself by taking a photo with the business card and putting it into an album. Some of us are on fixed incomes due to physical limitations, these people have a lot of business cards from their doctors. Perhaps you could offer part of the app for free to hold 30 cards to put all their doctors cards using the app it could save somebody’s life. So if somebody has some kind of a medical problems and and needs emergency they would look in your phone for any information on doctors that you have on the phone .

Very creative and very practical/useful tool. Completely worth it! Great concept and fun design especially with nice features such as being able to send an email automatically, with your info in the body and your card picture attached, to those whose business cards you have uploaded. The reason it is not 5 stars is because ok the last few cards I used (which were all the same company but different individuals) it got the spelling and certain info wrong on them so that I had to go in and manually rewrite parts. Not a major issue but something that is there. Also first 15 are free and a fee if you want to add more. Yearly fee is 29+ - not bad.

I’ve tried them ALL, and this is the one to get. None of these packages have 100 % accuracy, but this one comes close. Further, this app connects to LinkedIn, and it has easy editing. Finally, if you don’t think it scanned something correctly, it allows you to send an email to the developer with the details of the improper scan (assuming you don’t mind having the developer see the card). Don’t know if they read the email and do anything with it, this feature at least makes you feel better.

Ready to buy… BUT…. I love the app. Scanned 10 cards during the trial. Decided to purchase the premium lifetime option,BUT The only way to subscribe to this app is through an iTunes account. I’m not buying as I will not get an iTunes account. Very shortsighted, I could pay by credit card PayPal send a check but no these options are not available. I will now go to the App Store and look for a different business card reader.

OCR makes lot of errors, almost faster to enter data manually. I got this app for my iPhone 11 Pro after seeing its excellent review ratings, but sadly my experience has been anything but good. It makes a lot of OCR errors even when the captured image is perfect, and assigns text to the wrong fields more often than is acceptable. Lastly, it takes too much time to register a card in the database (10-15 seconds per card), during which time the screen is frozen and not ready to scan the next card. I’m not sure it is much faster than entering the data manually. Unfortunately, other business card apps that I tried are no better. Looking for an app that can at least do OCR well.

Easy. Super easy to use, much better than other apps I have used. I was using Evernote until they canceled that feature. This is a must have if you get lots of business cards.

Most reliable and accurate scanner. I have tried over 10 business card scanning apps and this one is the best by far. It is 98% accurate and allows you to connect via LinkedIn/Facebook .. a feature most do not offer. Try the free version if that’s good enough for you no need to pay… But for me I am a heavy user of the app and have no problem paying the developer to continue making improvements extremely happy with this product!

Wow! Impeccable fn. ABBYY BCR app is so very superior to all other business card import apps that I have tried over the years, both free and paid ones. ABBYY BCR automatically captured and imported the contact info from the card accurately into the appropriate places. I didn’t have to edit or add any info. It also grabbed a pic of the card and corrected the image angles so the pic of the card looks centered and perfect. You then have import options including to your own contacts. I like that you can keep the pic of the business card in the app. I am not a working professional so I don’t have a subscription. I would recommend it. Though I do get subscriptions just to support app development. I don’t use this often enough. I did just see that there are a variety of paid options in addition to the full paid subscription. Thank you big time for that! Thanks for a great app and for maintaining it. Even though I can’t continue to use it.

Great concept but HORRIBLE UX!!. How can a paid subscription have no option to contact support?!! The export function is broken, there is no info on how to log into the cloud, help links are broken, and even after I managed to dig up what seemed like a ticket system and spent the time providing thorough explanation of the issues, after submitting the screen went completely blank! No confirmation, no emails, nothing! If this is the paid service, I don’t want to know what the free version does. Get it together! You’re a software company!

Capture software isn’t great. I love having a digital copy of the card that I can make notes and see the date I put this into my contacts. With all the variations of business cards it often populates the contact fields incorrectly; I.e. putting the company name in where the person’s’ contact information should be.

All scanned cards were lost. I scanned a large number of cards. When I realized that emailing the entire batch was not possible, and realizing it would take a long time to email each one individually, I decided to wait until I had more time. I went back a couple weeks later to email the scanned cards, and all of them were gone. I recommend holding on to scanned cards until you are sure you have been able to send them where you want them.

In Theory...Amazing. In Practice...Meh.. I love this tool and I’ve recommended it to many, many people. It has been brought to my attention that the subscription based charging is problematic. If I stop subscribing, where do my cards go? Why can we not purchase it with different rates for number of cards? I’m sure subscription fees are great as a business model for you, recurring revenue and all, but for those that may be on the job search or not using it as often, it’s too expensive a tool. In a day and age when all developers are being taught to look to inclusiveness in their design models, is there not a way to make this more accessible to the hordes of people that need a tool like this but don’t have the budget for recurring charges? Since 7 out of 8 people in our country are living paycheck to paycheck, can you not design a business model that enables people to use such a valuable tool (in job searches especially) while still paying you for your valuable work?

For the Price, I Expected Better. The OCR engine in this app is buggy. I understand some cards have graphics that are hard to decipher, but that doesn’t excuse the app’s inability to get most fonts in English correct. Usually I have to edit the contact after it’s scanned in, sometimes I have to edit so much of it, I might as well have entered it manually. So my question to the developer: If I still have to do the entry work, tell me again, why do I need this app? Right now, I don’t plan on renewing the subscription when it comes up for renewal. The app just doesn’t do the job the developer claims it can do.

Will not sync to outlook - use a work exchange. I have tried many times to take a business card on the app and export it to Outlook, it does not happen. All I get is an email that says I need to give support step by step description of my action, the screenshots that illustrate my actions and describe the difficulties I face in more detail. if someone could just get on the phone and talk to me, I would greatly appreciate it

Wow!. I have been in sales for 30+ years. This tool has made my job easier. The most incredible thing about this application, I scan a prospects business card, it’s now in my phone and it makes itMuch easier to follow up with potential customers and current Customers! I have recommended to our Co pant to purchase this app and to have the sales force use it to win!

Too many errors.. If you click the check button to complete the business card addition, it is not possible to add it due to a problem that requires a Salesforce login. In particular, there are many errors in character recognition when adding by camera shooting. And the irresponsibility of not answering customer questions about errors is also a problem. You're lying to Apple that it's done troubleshooting! The problem has not been resolved yet.

So far, so GREAT!!. This app is incredibly useful and super fast. Blows my mind how quickly it knows what categories everything goes under. Perfect for the meticulous type. I just started using it but I am in love with it; if that changes I’ll be sure to update this review.

MANAGING PARTNER. I've used a card scanner for years. Technology advances so quickly and on a new business venture I ended up with a new batch of cards. Looked at various new Apps. And tried this one. Actually was astounded by the accuracy of this app. So much more useful than old one. Plus, once you have card in place the app. snaps photo immediately. So far I'm really pleased.

Ok but design flaws. The OCR does a decent job but I hate that the send your card to others feature starts enabled. What if I grab my boss's card or some stranger whose card I just want to have for future reference? Both are true in my case, and I am now wondering if my info has been improperly sent to others. Finally, the categories it uses to keep track of the information should be more carefully thought through. Some feel repetitious while others are lacking. I will not be upgrading and since I only get 10 scans I will need to find another program.

Total violation of your privacy. WARNING: in order to use this app, you have to agree to let them know all of your information and send you ads from third parties. This is totally inappropriate as you have to give up all rights to your data before using the app. These 4 star reviews can be purchased from services designed to fake high ratings for apps. Anyone who cares about their personal data would rate this app 1 stat. Apple should look into this company and it’s shady business model. This is not what I signed up for when I bought a $1000 phone.

Great tool and resource! A little clunky but that’s ok!. This app helps me organize my contacts from business. I always have them with me and don’t have to carry a big book around or use up space with pictures of cards! I don’t even have to obtain the business card! Thank you for that! This app is still a little clunky. Sometimes I have to re-enter some or all of the info that was misread or the picture doesn’t automatically take (which can be a pain when I only have one hand). I have learned to work around it, tho.

Economical solution for card scanning. I spent $25 for an annual subscription and that seems like a good deal given costs for similar solutions. The plus side- fast scanning, simple intuitive interface, export to excel. The down side- from the first 10 cards I scanned, only 2 picked up the email address and it seemed that several didn’t pick up the name of the organization. And, if you find you want to upload a contact without a business card, you have to go into settings and select the “create your own business card” option and just use that feature to add other contacts without cards. That’s not as intuitive as the rest of the interface. All in all, my hope is I will be collecting hundreds of cards this way and making it easier to upload into Salesforce. I haven’t tried that yet. This is just my day one feedback.

Decent App for scanning. Has a good set of tools, but not initially easy to get to. Have to go thru screens of this and that to do so. Also, it like a number of apps these days need an annual type of subscription to use all the features. I think this should be clearer as to what it does cost. Perhaps this is an Apple issue not the developer. Finally, the previous Feb reviewer talks about 7/8 people who work live paycheck to paycheck. This is just factually incorrect - all you have to so is review the data on city by city, by job category type (using the workers compensation categories) to see cost of living vs income is not even close to 7/8. Ridiculous unsupported statements that become true because they are repeated over and over. Even above that “paycheck to paycheck” does not account for how the paycheck is spent and so this phrase just becomes a loaded phrase. But back to the review - a useful app! One suggestion would be to somehow connect it to the Apple contacts app, altho that may take away from the data base this app uses. Thanks.

Easy as chewing gum!. I had a stack of business cards just sitting there, one my to-do list but never done. With this app it was done me in an hour, scanned, exported, and added to my CRM. Now I just pull my phone out while networking and let them keep the card. With a click they have mine and we are connected. Love it!

Won’t let me sync without separate purchases. The camera recognition is about 60% at best. Tried using my annual account on my personal phone and work phone and it won’t let me go past 10 cards without making a whole second purchase on new device, even though it’s on a shared account and logged into my account. Beyond frustrated and pretty much convinced it’s not worth the time it takes or the money.

Very Accurate Picture Taker. This software works much better than its name would suggest. A lot of programs like this have names that use Usability principles in the name itself. This leads us to believe the coding must also be as well thought out or as easy to use as the name is to remember. Not so. I’ve done Agile development as a Designer. That’s the part with the pictures and buttons, and animations, and what could bottoms how an app moves around in response to end user button-taps (in the case of a touch screen.) This app has clearly given their QA team the teeth to hold up release until all the annoying problems are fixed. There’s something called a “backlog” in software development. Unsuccessful app makers (and software makers alike) focus on release dates instead of long-term customer loyalty. This software developer clearly chose the latter. Recommended.

Creating my business card. This app is exactly what I needed for my business! It was very easy to set up. Having this app makes it easy for my client to have my information without having to worrying about misplacing a physical card. I love it!

Only thing I don’t like.... Unfortunately, there is no way to take previously scanned business cards off of a desktop and directly import them online to your account. I have many business card I have already scanned that are available on my desktop. You are not able to login to this app on a desktop and drag business cards over for importation and synchronization. 😟

Doesn’t save cards on app. I am having a real hard time with this app. Basically when you scan card it saves to contacts but doesn’t save on app. Out of 20 cards scanned 3 saved on app. If you try again it keeps adding same contact over and over to your phone contact list. This is a mess. Support not easy to find on this app. I paid for the subscription but will contact apple for refund.

Good but not great. Most features of this app are great, and the recognition is more accurate than other card scanning apps. The main downfall has to do with the text, navigation and email ‘buttons’ or lack thereof. ABBYY would do well to adopt the more user friendly interface of CamCard, when the most used features have buttons on a banner above the card info, so you can quickly call,text, email or load the directions to the address in a navigation app of your choosing. For navigation, simply seeing the pin on a map within the app is mostly useless for navigation purposes, and ultimately renders this app ineffective holistically. Please address this, I paid for the premium features not realizing this, and will ultimately switch to CamCard for its more user friendly interface/functionality.

Cannot use app. Requires you to agree to ABBY’s terms regarding agreement to share personal data. If this can be revoked, then why even ask for it at all? Also, allowance of 3rd Party Advertising, which means that there is a sharing of my personal data with other companies. For myself, these terms are unacceptable. While, true, all private data might not be shared, there are no guarantees, that it won’t. As far as, GDPR, I don’t think most people know what that is, (including myself) and ABBY might want to elaborate its meaning to others and, more specifically, how being GDPR compliant provides justification for denying access to this application to the end user. I would very much like to use this application; however, being required to agree to the privacy and advertising terms, again. for myself, is unacceptable.

Favorite app I’ve downloaded in past 2 years!. I can’t believe how seamless and useful this app is. Virtually every time I am shocked and thrilled at how quickly it reads and enters all the information from business cards. It is silly we still have business cards in today’s digital society however with this app I believe the cards are relevant again

May have been a BIG mistake. Using the Fine Reader on my pc for scanning I was expecting much better product. I previously used ScanBizCards but they dropped web access. The web access with BCR is just plain crap. No import function exists. Edit is OK. Sync with contacts appears to be one way only. Scanning is just ok. ScanBizCards did much better job of suggesting correct company too. There is no rescan functionality. You have to delete and start over. Don’t pay for this!

One at a time. It appears you can only MOVE a contact out of the application one card at a time. Cards can be filtered into groups and one can make multiple selections but all it appears one can do with a selection is move it to a different group within the application. No exporting groups to contacts, emails or Excel. There may be a way but I can’t find it.

Great app and good deal. Very convenient and accurate. I don’t need this every day but more when I attend conferences so I love the fact that you can also buy a fixed number of card entries if you don’t need a subscription. This creativity in pricing makes it work for occasion and heavy users. Love it.

Easy to use. I’ve used several business card reader apps. The ABBY app is by far the best - it accurately reads a business card and thus you have to do few or no edits after the card is read. Plus, it puts the card into your contacts, unlike other readers which only store the contact information in the apps themselves, which is of no use to me.

Why a subscription??. I downloaded this and scanned a few cards. For the most part it works pretty good, it didn’t get one of the addresses right but I was able it easily edit that. My only issue is with all these great apps that want to get in on the subscription kick. Why?? I don’t want to pay monthly or annually...if you make this a small one time fee this would be an awesome app, but $7.99 per month is insane. Without subscribing you can only store up to 10 cards. If I only had 10 cards to store I wouldn’t need this app. Reconsider your subscription fee!!

DO NOT RECOMMEND. I quickly purchased the app for its export to CVS feature. After 10 min of searching for how to easily export, with no clear explanation on the prompt that told me to configure my email, I finally exported the contact list to the desktop site. I was pleased to export to CSV and dismayed to see that I will have to separate Every Single piece of info on any one contact. Instead of having it organized by name, email, company, etc in different columns...all of these things exist in one column. A complete and total waste of time and $30. The recognition software of the cards was also poor. Save yourself time and just enter these yourself the old fashion way.

Snap and move on. Found this via some reviews. Reliably captures text if the business card is half-reasonably designed. Have had to make very few edits.

Worked well. Very good app. Saves a lot of time

Fantastic app. Great app for business

Excellent. So easy to use, well done

Generally good. Very useful, one of the better ones. Some simple improvements would help. Eg ability to not get confused by I vs i vs l vs L vs / vs ! Vs | vs \ and also Better in app sharing options would be good and the ability to tailor the email contacts messages better.

Good. But expensive

Lifetime premium is a rip off. I paid for lifetime premium which is supposed to be a once off payment. Instead the app keeps trying to charge me monthly ongoing rates. I complained but they can’t seem to fix it!! What a sham arrangement

Great Business Tool. Once you get into the habit of using this app you will never loose a business card and never have to carry them again. This app simply delivers on every front.

Decent quality. Good product. Reliable

Awful. Changed phones and it hasn’t created a login for me so I have lost all my cards.

Biz Card Reader. Quite nifty once you get the hang of it

Review. Great but doesn’t transfer all the details with 100% accuracy.

It won't let me into the app without making a review!. I can't do anything on the app until this review is made! 😡

No instructions. Frustrating

Easy to use. Simple effect storage of business cards.

Non functioning app. I paid over $11 for three months during which time I tried to download the cards I’d loaded onto the app and at no point could I download them to a csv file and email them to myself. I contacted support on 4 occasions and they tried to help but it’s a fundamental flaw in the app. I am requesting a full refund for all three months!

Too expensive. These are too expensive But not bad to use

Can’t recognise fields. This app has good potential but struggle to recognise text. Appropriate field identification is another problem. At the end one needs to do half job manually.

Works very well. Best in class

Works as it’s suppose to. Worth the money

Good generally. Good but unstable photos in some conditions

Misleading. I down loaded this App only to find I had to make purchases after 10 business cards. This information was not easily presented prior to downloading.

Sam.H. Very good app easy to use wonderful idea

Amazing program. Easy to use - amazingly accurate (would like to see more included in free version however I can’t find a fault with the program itself )

Fantastic App. I have used both Camcard and this app and haves switched over to this due to the better layout and the quick switch between name and company of your contact. One thing that can improve this app is the ability to click on your business card Image and save it to your camera roll instead of having to email it to get that Image. Also if the Image could be sent via sms as well.

Saving the world from paper clutter Yey !. Great app with no hard copies saving the trees of the world ! De clutter your wallet & your office & keep all that info on your phone aWeSome ! Just snap & gO !

Great App. Very easy to use and very reliable... would recommend this to anyone who has to deal with a lot of business cards

ABBYY BCR. It makes it so easy to keep all that information without bulking out your wallet.

Great :). Recommend it

Have to pay for app and subscription. I paid for the app and then on top there is a monthly subscription. No thanks.

Choice Card Reader. Fantastic app,

Saves time and space!!. What a joy. 5 seconds to scan and load a new card then I can THROW THEM AWAY! Simple to use, gets most recognition spot on.

Edit. Where can I edit the text after the card is been uploaded? Thanks

Works a treat. Nothing to improve

Ok but nothing wonderful. Picks up names, numbers, emails ok but titles and company names are hit and miss, usually miss. Needs editing in each case. Didn’t correctly pick up the outline of any of the 3 cards I’ve tried so far so they had to be manually selected. Ok for a couple of cards but would be a major pain for heavy use. Maybe it needs a higher contrast background? I didn’t like the permissions at first use - the setup implies you need to agree to all of them (spam, data usage etc) when it’s actually just the t&cs. Other than that it’s ok but if I were going to pay for an app I’d look elsewhere.

Rubbish. The only reason I gave one star is because there is no provision for zero. Have to check and edit every entry. Waste of time and money.

Quality of photo / captive of card could be more accurate. As per title

Construction. Functionality could be better

Very nice app. I like this app and so far it works very well and I would highly recommend. Thank you!

Excellent. Definitely recommend it

Poor OCR. Compared to a number of other apps on the market, the OCR on this is poor. Also, it took 2 goes to pick up the LinkedIn identifier. Not great.

Great App. Incredibly useful

Great app don't want to be locked in. Like the app, but worried about having to maintain the subscription to keep my contacts indefinitely.

Don’t bother. You can only get 8 Bussiness cards on it but if you pay $12 a month then you can put more on. Great idea though 😊

Bit hard to use get through free version. But it is free!!

Good stuff. Easy to use

Great App. This app has been great for storing and sorting into categories all the business cards I have. So much easier finding contacts now!!

Easy to use. Great app and very easy to use

Keep your money. I got the premium but it freezes all the time and I can’t access the cards. Update: thanks for getting back to me. I can’t get past the Odyssey Apps page to get to all the contacts information. The app freezes and closes itself down from there and even after multiple restarts, it works for 20 - 30secs before freezing again.

Review. I really wanted to love this product. It is not easy to use. I suppose that the more i use it the easier it will get.

Great ap. Easy to use and very handy

It’s about time. This app is so great for auto contact generating random business cards I get. This would get a 5 star review if the free aspect of the app worked longer than 10 scans. If they would give you 3 or 4 a month and beyond that require purchase I would grant 5 of 5. Great job guys. App has good AI recognition to figure out what info to place where. I love it.

Works. Good business card scanner.

So easy. I don’t know what I would do without it

Poor OCR. Can’t recognize accented character’s and punctuation sign.

Timesaver.... Love it ...

Raju. Great app

Nfidifjd. Jodi

Great app. Thanks!!!

Business card reader. I find this app does all it claims to do

Not accurate. It’s not intelligent enough to put the field data in the right spots. If I have to re-enter the data, because the company name is in the first name field, then I’m not saving any time, which is the point of this app.

Good. Good

Hi. Good

Not sufficiently accurate and user friendly : not simplified enough too many options to buy. Program fails to scan precise data

Terrible. Won’t save my card additions. Not very friendly.

Not that great. When scanned, it has a hard time reading and placing the information in the right fields. Many errors in phone numbers and names. Addresses are almost always wrong. I just about have to enter all the info myself. Will use until I find a better app.

Great. Great

Surprise price. After scanning a few cards (6), it tells me I’ve reached the limit of the free app options.

Good, but could be better for just nominal one time fee -. GET RID OF SUBSCRIPTIONS! Good, but could be better for just a fair one time fee - EVERYONE despises “SUBSCRIPTIONS"… they are the epitome of annoyance!

Support is nonexistent!. Impossible to find an email or a link to anyone for support if you are running into issues. I don’t recommend that you spend the money on this one.

Lost all business cards. Great app until my phone died. When I did reconnect with my Apple ID, none of the business cards saved was recovered... after years of subscription.. I lost everything

Not so good. Not very intuitive. Does not interpret cards nearly as well as CamCard. Mixed up city names with people and lots of other weird things. I payed the $28 for the pro version, definitely not going to be using it.

Excellent outil. Fonctionne bien

Perfect Card Reader. Works pretty good !!!

Disappointed. Disappointed, contact does not go in Outlook and lot of Errors with Sales forces, rather do it manually...

Scam. Can only use 4 contacts before you pay

Wonderful APP!. A wonderful app indeed... digitized business cards makes processes a beeeze.

Works well but, trial is short. App is great works well, but if you want to stay within the free app you only get 10 scans, then you have to pay for premium. Why not 3 free a week of something like that. Nope 10 then you pay.

Hey. Ghe

Awesome. Worth the subscription.. My second year with this app, couldn't live without it now!

Business Card reader. Advise Is about date of birth. I dont want to share my year of birth, just my day and month. Hows that possible..??

Great Application. Great application

Great for capturing business cards. Works great for capturing business cards and sdding them to your contact manager/iPhone. OCR is pretty accurate as long as the card is clear, preferably black text on a white background. Captures images and other details very well.

Easy to use.. I love this app

Love this app!. Great app for making quick work of adding business card info

Very useful after Tradeshows or Network events. Fast and easy to use! I am getting the premium version after 1 day of use. Save lots of time!

15 scans only!!!. Not worth downloading

Province error. Does not read ON as province of Ontario. Has to be entered manually.

Have not used it yet. And being asked for a review. Really whats that all about.

Good app. Good

Bugs for Review. I’ve scanned 4 cards and it wouldn’t stop asking me for a review. It’s probably 4-5 Stars, but they didn’t give me a chance to see without bugging me.

Removing Synchronization. Product is OK but removing synchronization , what a BAD move! The product works fine, great I would say! as I also use their scanner product as well. Yes could save and transfer the backup, but do you want to that on a regular basis. Make your customers happy and bring back the synchronization :)

IMPROVE IT. You have the “create group” button but you can’t see the GROUPS button!! How is that possible?! You need to improve this basic feature on your app

Mxl725. Super

Great app. Would recommend this app to anyone that collects business cards as they meet people. Saves me a lot of time

It works. For me it is perfect!

Fantastic tool. Easy to use and great features, strongly recommend.

Pretty good. Seems work good

Great but with there was better canned emails for different contact groups. Great problem has a few glitches but and could Moe accurate.

Works great. iPhone 8S, reads the card correctly, just magic. Took a stack of business cards and scanned them all on my phone. Works great when out with clients and needing to exchange cards.

Paid for Premium, but doesn’t recognize on new phone. Right after subscribing for another year, I purchased a new phone, which my app was restored on. Tried logging into my account, and the app doesn’t recognize my email address used to purchase the app. Not only is this impossible, (I clearly registered when I purchased it) but I feel like I had $30 stolen from me. Do not buy. Complete waste of money.

Great app. Been using for 2days seems fantastic. I am in looking for a business card app for years and found this couple days ago and love it so far.

New User. Just started entering 1st few cards so this initial impression is favorable with the ease of editing compared to the visual capture, cropping of initial photo of Card also helpful in excluding non-relevant info. I particularly like the ability to specify groups for each entry Will update review when I attempt to access data via IOS Contacts and Cloud files to share with colleagues Hopefully more will be revealed! I need help with printing excell spreadsheets on a Mac of my Card Holder Files The data is spread over quite a few pages is there a template for this application?

Nice app. So far I am enjoying the app. I like being able to save business cards that I pick up from new places. I also like that I can edit the information in case it doesn’t copy it just right from he card.

Works well, but is NOT free. This app works well and does a better job with its recognition software. It does a good job recognizing cards. However, the “free” version is not really free, you are only allowed 10 cards to scan. The price of $60 is ridiculous for this app. Even their method to buy “recognitions” and their sale and promotion prices are ridiculous.

The photos never enter into the fields correctly.. I like the program, but although I have a great camera on my phone the data is almost never correct leaving me to manually type it in.

Five stars!!!. I stumbled across business card reader and I've been delighted ever since. No more losing business cards or business cards stuffed in my wallet. Easy and simple to use and another application to simplify my life

Great app, but.... Fantastic app, but PLEASE don’t send icebreaker/business card emails by default. In a business where first impressions are everything (e.g. almost any business where you’re exchanging enough business cards to merit a scanner app), an errant email from a random third party app can really get things off on the wrong foot.

Nice APP. When it works, it works well; but it does not always automatically focus in on business card and pull up information.

Can’t change email if you need to. The easiest in the use of reading business cards was great but the ability to adapt to a new job or other personal environments is not adequate. Customer service basically said we can’t help you.

Easy to use. I enjoy how efficiently this app gathers all the data from the business card and stores it in your phone. Sure, it requires manual corrections, but it works well.

Does what you need. I compared several readers for my purpose. This one was the only one the had a higher read success with minimal to none corrections, and I love the organized formatting of my choosing, not defined for my.

Does what it says it does. This works, which is awesome because I hate carrying around business cards and always forget to follow up. I’d give this 5 stars if they improved the photo capture quality and smoothed out the app UX a little. Feels dated and clunky.

Still needs work. Overall a nice app but the script recognition still needs some work. I find myself having to type minor corrections in on 90% of my business scans.

Easy to use good recognition. Very easy to use. Recognizes most cards in different lighting. Like the option to save in the App only or in your phone as well or Sales Force as well.

Difficult to synch across devices. Not a fan. Paid and it’s difficult to synch across devices. Password reset does not work; to many glitches

Cannot export. Nowhere you can configure mail. I searched your website, faqs. I cannot ask on feedback either as it blocks until I configure mail.

Thank you please answer. Really like it having trouble finding the actual screen to take the photos of the Business Card. HELP

Scam?. The “feedback” tab doesn’t work. I paid $30 for a subscription service to help manage my business contacts. There’s no access to customer service and I can’t access the feature to export to Excel which is why I paid for this in the first place. Information population is poor, and I end up needing to manually type in contact details anyway.

Very Accurate. This app works remarkably well - even with crumpled business cards that have tiny, faint type. And the feature that highlights characters that the app is not sure about is extremely helpful. I am a fan.

Works but too limited. I had no problem with the apps functionality but you can only load 10 cards without a monthly subscription. Anyone who even considers looking up an app to store business cards already has more than ten cards to store or they wouldn’t need it in the first place. $25 a month is outrageous. One time maybe but I think for $300 a year I can come up with a better solution.

Terrible technology. You would think with today’s technology they could create something that is able to copy the info correctly. This app is not that technology.

VERY EASY. As I sit here trying to figure out how to scan my business cards , I find how VERY EASY it is to get frustrated. Fish I could find the App I used years ago. Should be a three but I haven’t yet figured out why I can’t get it, yet I get every other App I use..,

App works great. After I tried this app I was impressed with it. I upgraded. I would recommend this to any one that has pile of business card with a rubber band filing system. Kenny96

A good app but needs improvement for addresses. It has some great features but address recognition has much to be desired. It is incapable to recognizing any street address that has a “state” as its name. But it’s better than some of the other apps I tried.

Will not load into salesforce.. I am paying for the premium service and yet the reader app will not load my card contact info into my salesforce. Must be fixed or I will quit using this

Thumbs Up. I tried a few different apps but this one was perfect. One of my favorite things about the app is having the choice to send the card information directly to my contacts. That’s what sealed the deal for me.

Doesn’t save info correctly. I have tried to edit and change info that it automatically generated because I have 3 different business cards for my businesses and it defaults back to the original information every time. Spent about an hour doing it and edited and saved about 10 times. Very frustrating

Great app. I’ve been using this to manage all the business cards I come across and it has helped me become very organized. Thank you.

When phone updated lost all my saved contacts I have paid life membership. Will Schroeter

Busy Sales Rep. Saves so much time integrating data into my cell and directly into Salesforce. An absolute must have for any sales rep that needs 1 hour a day back from in their time bank.

Very Organized!. I have been looking for a organize app can quickly store all my business contact since I have too many client and vendor’s card flying around. This is really helpful!

Paid annual subscription. Just downloaded and scanned business cards. This app can't handle simple things like professional designations at the end of names. All the cards I scanned ended up with RN or other last names. The real last name ended up as the middle name. If you have a lot of cards with professional designations after the name, do not buy this app. Image quality is awful too. What a disappointment.

Easy and robust. No problems figuring out how to use it. Easily and quickly added a dozen cards to my contact list. It’s not 100% accurate: you still need to proofread each card before saving it, but not bad. Has the most trouble with glossy cards or overly artistic graphics, however, the option to save the back side of the card as a picture is invaluable. I’ll be removing ads and buying another 50 slots as soon I I finish comparison shopping, but so far this one rates highest.

Wonderful. Well it had some problems with Korean but I think they are minor. I recommend this to everyone

APP needs lot of work.. try another one!. I have this app.. not very happy with it.. photo taking is fair.. rarely recognize the letters and fields.. I have signed up for the online service for help.. no one has ever responded.. sending emails is useless… I have to edit almost every card…

Indispensable app. Just wish for tutorial for csv export. Indispensable app, as accurate as current ocr can possibly be! I just wish there were a better tutorial for setting up .csv exporting

It works - be patient. This app is way better than keeping paper cards but you do have to be patient as the technology doesn’t always read things correctly. I have had to manually adjust something on nearly every scan.

Review. Terrible app. About two years ago I placed all of my contacts and cards in here. I went to look them up and saw they were all deleted. I can only assume it is because they are now monetizing the platform. If I would’ve know about this, surely I would’ve signed up or at least gathered my contact info. Something to be said for an old Rolodex card holder, I guess.

Great and handy app. But needs to be able to use Gmail natively to sent cards and contacts. I don’t use iPhone / Apple mail so I cannot use the mail feature there for the 3 star rating.

Not that easy to use. I’ve entered over 70 cards. The app misreads many names and addresses. It also adds information that isn’t on the card. One business in Los Alamitos added Los Alamitos Race Track and I don’t have any cards with that. It can’t focus on picture business cards but it reads some ok.

Easy to use. This app is absolutely fantastic and is easy to use. Great way to organize all your business cards and have it available to you at your fingertips

Best Card App. I’ve been using card apps for eight years and this has been the best by far. Only a few corrections have needed to be made on several hundred business cards

Great concept. Love how user friendly it is. However, I hate that I have to pay something in order to have more than 10 saved. Debating currently whether or not it’s the right decision or to stop now and delete app.

Fabulous App!. It's so nice to have my cards scanned and organized! It's especially wonderful to be able to export contacts to my address book in iPhone! My only complaint, so far, is there is no ability to "enter" on address field (to create a new line). So if the scanner doesn't recognize a line break between words... You can't hit "enter" to start a new line like street name, suite number, or City... It clusters them as it sees it and doesn't allow brakes in edit mode. Otherwise, GREAT APP! LOVE IT! ~ JM

Pretty good so far. A bit of searching when trying to focus in on a card. Quite a bit slower here than Evernote. OCR makes some errors, especially when the business card layout is non-standard. The save to Salesforce feature in the premium version seems to work well.

Good but need a few improvements. Does pretty well with the scanning of cards... would suggest it should be able to import into Outlook that way most CRM take from that... especially if you have salesforceiq. Agree to have other social media on the app

No More Stacks of Cards. Not only is this app an efficient way to input and store business contacts information. Particularly appreciate the ability to reliably export to phone and Outlook Contacts.
