Doesn't sync with contacts
Yes, I can sync with Google contacts if I give it access to all my Google data and rights. But the inability to add to the iPhone contacts is inexcusable.
It's nice as an independent app, if that's what you want. Has good recognition.

Watch out when upgrading
I'm a light user. I only had a few entries which I had not exported when I upgraded to the paid version. It wiped out my earlier cards! Beware! Otherwise, I am happy with the app. That's why I upgraded.
DO NOT PAY OR DOWNLOAD THIS APP
You need to seriously read thir privacy policy because this app will allow them to gather A LOT of private information from your device. I am disgusted with this practice!! DELETE!!!!!
Very good
Have been using this app for years. I found it to be the best in it's category as it has improved over time. Does a fairly good job of OCR except for badly designed business cards (people think about this!).
Suggestions: (1) please have app recognize card edges. It still can't handle oversize European cards or those weird skinny cards you sometimes get, even when photographed on a contrasting background. (2) Please please make the Countries list in alphabetical order without categories. This takes too long. First I have to think: in what continent is this country, then what sub-category, east, west, nope, then what continent does Worldcard think it's in, then scroll and pass it a few times (kind of in a hurry, maybe ADHD), ah, yes, Turkey in Western Asia. Would be much better.

Works well most of the time
Can not edit phone#'s, if misread; would be nice to have indication on record -that an image of the back of the card exists. Would be even nicer if record could show information from both front AND back of card. Overall very useful and easy to use
Extras req'd
You need a gmail acct and world card software to sync contacts over other platforms. Not sure why it doesn't just link up with iPhone contacts.
App No Longer Works
This app used to be 5 out of 5, but after I updated to IOS 8 the app no longer functions properly. It freezes in Edit mode now after using the camera to take a picture of the business card. I assume it’s because their are some bugs to iron out so it works properly with IOS 8. Hopefully Penpower fixes it quickly.

So happy to find this!!
This app had saved me sooo much trouble!! And I am amazed with how well it reads the info off the card when you take a photo. It is a little hard when it's a more glossy card, but most of the time you take one picture and it gets all the info! I had over a hundred cards on my desk and now they are all in my pocket, in alphabetic order and in groups!! Can't say enough!! I tell all my friends about this app. Very worth the couple bucks spent. :) :)
Also I was a little worried about changing my phone and losing all my cards.. So I emailed the customer support and received a prompt response, they sent me a detailed email on how to transfer my info from old phone to new. Perfect!! Thanks again!!!

Great, but with problems
I loved this app...but...
The app has great features. It's quick and easy to find the contacts I want. It's easy to import new contacts from business cards and is fairly accurate (requires very minimal manual corrections). I like being able to see the photo of the business card; it makes it easier to jog my memory as to who the person is.
My biggest gripe is that every time there has been an update, I completely lose all my business cards. Fortunately, I selected the option to merge all business cards with my iPhone contacts, so I can access them from the phone's contacts list. However, when I go into the world and app, all the contacts are gone. Every time I have had to rescan all my business cards. Then it adds a duplicate contact with my phone's contact list and I have to go back and merge them together...one by one...long and tedious.

Never lose another business card again!
I have always been known to lose all my most important business cards in the most desperate time of need and with WorldCard Mobile, I’ll never have to worry again! Not only can I scan every business card into my phone, but I can categorize it exactly the way I want to for quick and reliable access. Since I also deal a lot with customers out of the U.S., I have found that this app can recognize up to 20 different languages so I can always understand cards from different countries! Also another great feature that I found was that every time I scan a business card, I can instantly upload the card onto my computer and laptop so that I can have a backup system in case I lose my phone or it breaks. There are many more exciting features this app has to offer but I’ll let you find them out for yourself! I highly recommend this app to everyone!
