App not working
★★★★ Jonette Ottaway 5/24/2021 v6.0.2
Don't bother
★★★★ Dave Kensler 9/4/2020 v5.0.3
Scanned 2 cards and instantly I get a page of what I presume to be Japanese or Chinese characters with a message "Similar businesses found!" Look, I just want to scan business cards....NOTHING ELSE. I am not looking for business opportunities, to make new friends, merge my contacts, etc. My intuition told me "Don't do it" when I saw you had to create an account (To scan business cards?????)...this is an app that pretends to be one thing while trying to access your phone information. UNINSTALL
★★★★ A Google user 10/15/2019 v4.3.8
Scanning is working properly. But '+' before the number is not recognised for all the cards i scanned. Without the same I am unable to make calls. Always want to edit before calling.
★★★★ A Google user 10/3/2019
Wouldn't let me change incorrectly scanned info (my name!!), didn't recognize my email confirmation, then sent it in a foreign language. Complete waste of time.
★★★★ A Google user 3/25/2019 v3.7.6
ridiculous. does not work with new android. keep looking.
★★★★ A Google user 1/31/2019 v3.7.6
I scanned two different kinds of business cards with the app. It got the name, email, and title incorrect. Not only that, the name skipped a letter and the title had mixed capital and lowercase letters. I tried to scan three cards at once and each time, it only scanned one. The app doesn't have enough accuracy to be useful in any serious business context and requires heavy editing on the part of the user.
★★★★ A Google user 11/11/2018 v3.4.3
Very difficult to sync with PC; default language is impossible to change.
★★★★ A Google user 9/5/2018
Does not export full contact info to Google contacts (links them instead), OCR needs manual corrections, requires account to fully function. Last thing I need is a parallel system for storing contacts.
★★★★ A Google user 7/18/2018
Immediately started getting emails on my work account. Spam, as far as I
know. All in Asian characters. Editors pick?really? Removed from my phone.
★★★★ A Google user 5/9/2018 v2.9.2
The app was going to send a confirmation email to the email on the business
card before I cancelled it. Dumb
★★★★ A Google user 5/2/2018
Worst app
★★★★ A Google user 3/26/2018
Disappointing
★★★★ A Google user 2/5/2018
Samsung Galaxy S7 This is a terrible app. Took forever just to scan the first card and create the online account - and it was a very clear high quality card. Then, when attempting to access said account on the desktop, the web site is only in Japanese with a few English words and kept sending me in circles Yes, it was set to English. Even tried two different browsers. All I wanted to do was scan some business cards, and then access the contact information and export it. Never made it past the setup. Couldn't cancel the account either, so I changed email addresses to prevent being contacted in the future, and uninstalled the app.
★★★★★ Ranjan Gupta 4/9/2022 v4.5.3
No sharing is possible, you can't share. If you share it will ask other person to download wantedly to view else he cannot see the shared card. Please improve
★★★★★ : D 8/10/2020 v5.0.1
If you're looking for an app that scans business cards and adds them to your contacts, this ain't it. If you're looking for an app where you need to create a login account and go through the settings to enable maximum privacy and then access the app to access the stored phone numbers separately from your phone contacts, then this is the app for you.
★★★★★ A Google user 9/17/2019 v4.3.6
1 major flaw in this app is - it does not have grouping option for scanned contacts. - This makes it useless if you have more number of contacts, as its impossible to find certain types of people without grouping them.
★★★★★ A Google user 7/12/2019
terrible. can't get verify and lousy interface.
★★★★★ A Google user 6/7/2019 v4.1.0
Recognized one card in three. Conditions office desk, good lighting. Either the app is low perforner or sony xperia xz2 compacts camera sucks.
★★★★★ A Google user 3/12/2019 v3.7.6
Not even able to scan my own simple card properly.
★★★★★ A Google user 2/11/2019 v3.7.6
Link not work when share on the Line application
★★★★★ A Google user 10/17/2018
1. If you uninstall the app it deletes any contacts you imported from it. 2. You can't edit contacts that you imported from the Android contacts UI. 3. The app doesn't seem to recognize digital cards and won't take pics of contact info on them.
★★★★★ A Google user 9/29/2018 v3.2.4
The scanning is inaccurate resulting in a lot of rewriting
★★★★★ A Google user 6/30/2018 v2.10.3
It was working until Android 8.0 on Xperia XZs. After the upgrade it can't
scan business cards.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/5/2018 v2.8.2
Used to be great on my S7 edge but once I upgraded to S9+, it unable to scan card, Screen is black? The taking picture on the profile option is ok but not card? Why?
★★★★★ A Google user 1/31/2018
Any card with a logo would capture incorrectly
