Great app

I have to spend more time editing the scan than I would spend entering the data myself. That defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?
Danjjjjjjjjjc • Apr 16, 2025
Works pretty well. A lot of editing after. Never gets everything right. Ex part of road address gets used as city. So, not a clarity of picture issue. Email addresses frequently spelled wrong. Overall handy though because you still have the picture. The picture is clear enough to easily read - no reason at all for imported typos and info in the wrong place.

Múltiple errors in the same card, over and over. Pls, don’t waste your money.

With no free trial, you have to buy blind—only to find it is useless. I wasted $60 and had to get a different card scanner—one that actually works. This one couldn’t read *a single thing* on the first card I tried. The other one got the same card perfect and has more features. With no free trial and no refunds (which I didn’t learn until I tried to get one) this seems like a scam. Just a way to rip us off. Boo.

Help a lot to keep record of business cards
zadeninjapants • Oct 21, 2024
Entered over 20 cards and the app suddenly closed and all entries were lost. Love the organization style and ways to filter, but found most entries required manual corrections and additional entries. Spent considerable time to have initial data all lost with the exception of 1 entry of 20.

App is okay, but I am tired of it asking me to turn on notifications… why do I need a card scanner app to have notifications, advertisements which is why I paid for the PRO version. I don’t want advertisements!

Truly a must if you need a business card!

Support is non-existent, accuracy is only so so. Save your money
Sonoma Cate • Apr 23, 2023
Recognition so bad it was easier to simplify type in all the info. Then, once I had scanned dozens of cards and thrown out the originals, it decided to delete all the contacts I had stored. Complete waste of money.
