### 1/5 — FIX YOUR APP

*2025-05-04, version 2.6.56*

I cannot get a single business card in focus. Your software instructs you to get closer to the card, which makes it even blurrier. I’ve check the camera, and outside of your app, I get a clear, LEGIBLE shot. I paid the premium to utilize this app and it is absolutely worthless.

### 3/5 — Pro

*2024-11-10, version 2.6.56*

Very convenient but paid for the pro version a few years ago. They want another payment. Not happening. Lost two stars for that.

### 5/5 — Business cards

*2024-08-24, version 2.6.56*

I no longer need to keep a bunch of business cards. I’ve got them right here in this one simple app. I love it.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2024-03-16, version 2.6.19*

And SO much easier than typing in biz card info after a conference or networking opp!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well with iPhone14

*2023-10-16, version 2.6.56*

Have been happily using the App for years but latest version doesn’t seem to work with iPhone14. Poor image focus. Doesn’t not enter data to phone book.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-09-10, version 2.6.56*

I got the latest app and it keeps crashing everytime j open it

### 1/5 — Bad focus

*2023-04-12, version 2.6.56*

Camera no longer will focus on cards

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-03-09, version 2.6.56*

Useless now

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-04-14, version 2.6.56*

The app won’t open now and I have no way to save the hundreds of cards loaded into it.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2022-03-20, version 2.6.56*

Nice
