### 5/5 — Larry

*2020-10-31, version 1.2.3*

This is the best card app I have ever used thanks for keeping it simple but powerful

### 1/5 — DO NOT Download - Not for General consumers

*2020-02-18, version 1.2.2*

DO NOT Download! 
Not for general consumers or businesses. This app doesn’t do anything and requires a software engineer to create another program to interface and download into your email address book. The “Service Support Lin’s” doesn’t answer your questions and is convoluted.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-10-23, version 1.1.3*

Simple to use and accurate!

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2019-06-24, version 1.1.3*

Does not capture all information. Email is being put as url. Was evaluting your app to decide if API would give us efficieny card recognition in our app.

### 5/5 — Nice UI and Great functionality

*2019-03-28, version 1.1.2*

It’s doing exactly what it’s claiming to do.

Great app! Looking forward to future updates.

### 5/5 — Simple, accurate, and searchable

*2019-03-18, version 1.1.2*

Finally a barcode app that will accurately read all business card information and correctly populate fields. Super simple to upload and search for contacts.
