Work seamlessly

I have it for over 2 yrs . I love it not only capture the info of the card and also show to me and allow me to make changes in case the scanning info is incorrect which is inevitable as scanning technology is not perfect yet Plus also saved the copy of the card in its app Great idea !


Poor results

Producer Lu

After reading fairly good reviews, I downloaded app and have been using often. It is VERY hit and miss. I often (1 out of every 3) get gibberish in all or most fields - and more often, I’m manually correcting at least one field. I can’t figure out why… Sometimes it’s over cellular, sometimes it’s when connected to Wi-Fi. And doesn’t seem tied To whether bus. card are white paperstock, traditional formats or more creative in layout. Other times it works like a charm. But if you’re looking to frequently and put cards as I am, having to manually enter 1 of every 3 is neither impressive nor useful.


Lifesaver

Really cool and easy way to get cards Wish it could save to iCloud and Google docs etc And the ocr could always be better But it's a must have

This app has saved my bacon more then once, the new iphone8 destroyed 2/3 of my contacts and if i didnt have this i would of been screw blued and tattooed. Keep up the great work


Latest update has bugs.

I’ve always love this app. It was accurate and quick. That is up until the last update. Now it’s started with multiple pictures. Crazy symbols inserted. I find myself have to correct and manually insert information. I just don’t understand why these updates go backwards. It was great. Leave it alone.


Still have to edit

This App does not do a good job of capturing correct information. 99% of the time I still need to go to my contact app and correct information it captured incorrectly or missed all together. Don’t waste your money.

I have used this app for years. But some cards it has problems with. Specifically the info is not legible. So it has to be entered manually, which defeats the purpose of the app. Understand not all cards, like a low %. I will keep using it, but I see colleagues using cc with no issues.


Great App no Longer

JoBoBike

In July of 2014 I had given this app 5 stars. I have used it often and have recommended many people to use it. Recently there has been an update that makes this app lose significant value. The update caused me to lose all my save business card scans. There is now a cap of only up to 10 card scans saved unless there is a subscription to the BCR cloud service. It is not acceptable that this fee , $16.99 a year, is tacked on when I have purchased a paid app. It is shoddy and greedy that the scanned cards were not preserved and that there is no option to backup to iCloud, DropBox or Google Drive. The scanning has improved although the app no longer gives the user feedback that the card has been scanned. I can no longer recommend this app.

Works only so-so. Although I can take a picture of a business card and it transfers most of the information correctly, this app rarely gets the address correct. I nearly always have to delete the address information and input it manually. It does not matter if the font on the card is crystal clear and easy to read or not. I could understand some of the more difficult fonts out there but this happens no matter what. If they would fix this I would probably give it five stars. The fact that I have to pay for this app and it does not work 100%... I'm only rating it three stars.


Waste of Time and Money

Another business card / contact app with useless features that doesn't do the basics welll or has the functionality that busy professionals with lots of contacts need. First, Apple's contact management system is weak and shouldnt be dependent on by anyone who values their contacts and uses them professionally. A good basic contact management system has a desktop or well-working web services that syncs with the IOS app and from which one can control what goes into Apple's contact system via sync or vCard exports that maintains the grouping. Groupings and easy correction of OCR misreads are a must. It's that simple. This program does none of this. Don't bother!
