Es ist nicht möglich ein Foto zu machen. Schade! 5,99€ für die Tonne ### 5/5 — Back to 5 stars *2026-01-23, version 2.8.4* I’ve loved this app for many many years, I use it at every gig I do ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2026-01-12, version 2.8.3* Used to be a great App. Used it for years!! Now it no longer recognizes the icon necessary to use the app. I have written the company, but to know avail. Feel kind of abandoned. Apparently I am not alone. In that spirit, I could no longer in good faith recommend anyone purchase their magic apps. ### 1/5 — Sadly now not working *2025-12-28, version 2.8.3* I’ve loved this up to now Dec 2025 it doesn’t work on my iPhone SE it can’t detect the icon even after the update ### 5/5 — Fun app, entertains all ages *2025-12-17, version 2.8.2* I have the pro version so I have different pictures stored. I use it to “print” business cards , however I really amaze people when the iPhone spits out folded money. I have had the app for years but recently there was a small issue when I installed it in my iPhone 14, but I contacted the developer and now it’s fixed. ### 1/5 — Can’t use it anymore *2025-12-10, version 2.8.1* It was a 5 star for me but I can’t use it anymore cause when I pick a screenshot it says it can’t detect the card now icon and told me to make sure reduce motion is enabled. Reduce motion is enabled on my phone but it still says the same thing. I sent an email but got no response. If you help me fix it I’ll give it 5 stars. My iPhone is updated to the latest version version if that matters. ### 5/5 — It’s just perfect *2025-10-19, version 2.8.1* Cheers to the developer, the app is baaaack! So happy man, thanks! I cannot live without it 🤣 Seriously there is no best way to give out a business card. Every layman love this. So simple and so perfect. My best magic app purchase in this life no doubt about it. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert wieder *2025-10-18* Vielen Dank für das rasche Update! Jetzt funktioniert wieder alles reibungslos. Es ist einfach eine tolle, zum Staunen bringende App! Super! ### 1/5 — Continued Technical Issiues *2025-10-09* The issue persists, and I haven’t received any response from the support team, despite having contacted them several days ago. ## Frequently asked questions about Card Now ### What does Card Now do?
