Literally doesn’t work
You press scan and nothing shows up. I’ve tried multiple times to reset and nothing. Can’t believe you literally can’t use the app, and after I started a free trial for an 80 dollar subscription lol insane
Price
Be nice if you’d publish it so I know before I download.

Stops Working after 100 Cards
As soon as I uploaded 100 business cards the app crashed. Even after deleting everything on the app, I cannot upload any new ones because it crashes each time I try.
Worthless
The app stores says it will store in Contacts (IOS IPAD) but you absolutely CANNOT. At best, it will export info to OUTLOOK. What a Sham product.
Should be called Covve Scam(In my opinion)
It is my opinion that this app has critical issues with backup. It simply does not work. We evaluated this application by scanning over 30 cards in and then attempted to restore the data on Anne IPhone. Not only was it lost forever but customer support took over three weeks to reply with the correct procedure to back up the satay. At first they simply said it was lost. This defect is so critical that I can not believe that it is still on the market. My advice is to stay away from all of their applications. If they can’t get a backup right and provide the most basic customer support, the rest of the engineering can not be trusted. We are choosing another vendor.
Scans well but super expensive
Yes it scanned well but you have to pay to play. Wish I’d known it was stupid expensive before I wasted time with this app.
Pricing misleading
Pretty good scanner but I gave it one star because there is no option for the $6.99 for 50 scans as listed in the description. Only get the $59 per year or the $119 lifetime. Don’t need that many. 50 would be perfect, but not an option.
Scan Failed
Scanned card 3 times. “Scan failed”. Don’t know why.
Not Working
I paid for the unlimited scans. The camera immediately closes and doesn’t let me take a photo of the card. Please help. Thank you!!
Not accurate
The first two business cards I scanned were wrong on most files
Will Not Add Contact
Had been my go to app for contacts for a year+ but now when I scan cards, I no longer have the option to add contact and the pic doesn’t save. Not sure it it’s an app version or recent IOS update but no longer usable (I tried deleting and reinstalling).
Tried app support but it just takes me to FAQs that don’t address the issue.
Hope it gets fixed as I paid for premium.
