What's New in Business Card Reader

4.0

November 1, 2026

A fresh native iPhone experience with Liquid Glass controls and guided onboarding. Scan individual cards or batches with on-device text recognition, then save reviewed details and the card picture to Contacts. New in 4.0: nine additional languages, subtle animations, optional sounds and haptics, a prominent Pro upgrade banner, and free import from phone contacts or vCard backups. Find people on LinkedIn by name and company. Start with 10 free scans, then choose an optional rewarded video for 10 more or Pro for unlimited scans, no ads, and additional exports. For existing users: earlier files are preserved, but the new app cannot directly read the old database. Import contacts already in your phone address book or a .vcf backup from Settings → Import contacts.

Simplicity

An app that makes it very easy to collect leads and contacts with accuracy

Worked and now it doesn’t

The app worked as it supposed to and now I can’t get it to scan any cards and the help website link does not work.

Business Card Reader

I have used this app for a number of years and find it works fairly well, my only complaint is when you scan a card you may need to rescan a few times before it works right, or you may have to manually enter some of the information

Didn’t work. Just junk text on screen.

As per subject :(

Doesn’t work!

Tried on several cards and there were multiple errors with each.
