Reviews
Unreliable-Do not recommend
The Download
Unreliable. Would not recommend using. Notes do not transfer over consistently to iPhone contacts. As notes are used for search capabilities, it makes this application useless.
What happened

This used to be so useful. Has serious issues. You select an option and are left with a screen that doesn't let you enter any info or make any selection or even exit. Twice i had to lose my work and start over.
No outlook sync??

I had a similar thing happened to what the other reviewer said. I thought that world card once I paid for the professional version would sync to my Outlook. I haven’t used it in a while I’ve recently spent literally an hour trying to add a couple business cards and see if they’re synchronizing to Outlook. This is crap. I’d like my money back but I’m sure that’s not gonna happen and it’s going to take way too long to try to even deal with it. I have tried multiple settings and cannot get it to sync it does show up on my iPhone in the contacts but I need it to go to my laptop. I don’t even see where it came in the Gmail.
Excellent optical character recognition.

The user interface gets better over time. Synchs flawlessly with Apple address book. For large batches of cards, I still use their hardware card scanner on my Mac.
Terrible

I had World Card for years. Now they blocked my old app so I purchased the new one. It will not take my old contacts into new app. Useless
Horrible update

I used to use this app all the time and was extremely pleased with its functionality. It looks like they’ve not only taken away that free functionality, but the registration process is convoluted and dysfunctional. Very unhappy.
Colossal 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! And don't make the mistake of buying their Mac program - totally inadequate, buggy, doesn't work.
Used to be great, now it's impossible to use.

This app has been of great used to me in the past, which is why I bought the full version. Now, with the latest update, I can't even figure out how to use it. The app interface has become cluttered with all of these new capabilities, but it's no longer workable for the main task that I purchased at four: to add contacts by way of taking a picture of a business card. I've given up on it and I am sorry that I paid anything for the full version when I did.
Terrible after last release!!!

I used to really like this app but now I am shooing for a new one. Functionality has gone down the tubes and it looks like this might be a google system now. Not good if you don't use google. Who in business has a google account?
New update killed this app

I used to love this app until the new update changed everything. The lack of, or non functioning sync ability with my iPad is a deal breaker. Though I still use the app until I am able to Find a suitable replacement, it is nothing like it once was prior to the recent update. I wish they would take away whatever they did to allow the sync function to work again.
