Reviews
Good price, good application

I tried 2 differen cards, and both are 99% accurate. The only issue is that it does not seprate last name and first name. There were a few minor corrections required. For example, 505 S. Ackard was translated to 5055. Ackard. Info did transfer to my contact list. Good job.
Pretty Good App
MrPaint06
The full version is available, the trial version limits out and says the full version will be available soon but this is it! This app works well for the most part, it seems to be programmed by a European or Asian company and therefore some things don't seem to be formatted for US. All names automatically are translated to CAPS, phone numbers run together instead of having hyphens or spaces. Be careful if you load a name with a middle initial, the app will read the middle initial as the first letter in the last name and you won't be able to find it in contacts. I used the free version and liked it enough to pay for the full version but it does need some tweaking to be well received in the US market.
Contact stealing app

Please be aware that this app requires you to register with a Chinese web site and then proceeds to upload all of your contacts if you try to synchronize. The website is in Chinese, so if you don't speak it, you won't understand it. Of course, there is no information about privacy anywhere, which leads me to conclude that this is a contact stealing app. I have no idea why Apple would even allow this monster in here. I wish I could give it 0 stars! You have been warned!
Avoid like the plague

U need to register to use the app which means they are harvesting addresses. Otherwise an excellent concept and worth paying for, but their business model looks like they sell personal info as their core business. Why apple allows apps like this into the store is beyond me.
Not worth the free price tag

Inconsistent scanning, let alone recognition. In multiple lighting environments and with different cards, most often received notice that app could not read card. When it did scan, recognition was grossly inaccurate.
It does not work
David Liu
The scan does not even focus properly. Once scanned, if you managed to move your camera to a right focused distance, it still does not recognize the text from the scanned business card.
