### 1/5 — Weak! — But integrated with Zoho CRM

*2026-08-03*

Like so much of the Zoho ecosystem, the UI is developed by people already familiar with the app, so they assume the end user will miraculously intuit how to use their apps. It’s the same reason the documentation remains so poor in the Zoho ecosystem.

The business card image capture attempts to identify the edges of the business card, but it is hit or miss. even if you think you snap the picture with the correct business card edges, there is a high likelihood you will have to manually adjust.

Then there is the matter of accurate OCR. Type of graphical error errors are commonplace here. Just know you will have to make plenty of edits.

To top it off, the app does not stay logged in, and despite scanning you must still manually upload to Zoho CRM after scanning.

this is probably the weakest business card scanning app I have seen in the past decade. Truly, the only thing it has going for it is the integration to Zoho CRM.

### 1/5 — Poor data extraction

*2026-06-16*

After installing very first card i tried, it returned gibberish data. Same card extracted with other app n it extracted data with 100% accuracy.

### 1/5 — 読み取り精度が悪すぎる

*2025-10-06*

ZOHOを導入しており、こちらも使用検討したが、他無料カードスキャナーと比較しても非常に精度が悪すぎて使用出来るものでは無い。英語の読み取りはまあまあだが、該当する項目には入ってない。

### 1/5 — Weak Zoho App

*2025-09-19*

This app was never finished, like they threw it out there to say they had it but it doesn't really work well.  The Add contacts to Phone feature triggers the App to get all your contacts.  What?!  Only the most basic fields are matched to Zoho CRM, there's no customization reflection.  And it's not a very good scanner, inaccuracies every scan.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the standard we aim for. We’re actively working on improving scan accuracy, contact field mapping, and overall stability.

Regarding contact access, permission is requested only to add scanned contacts to your phone when you choose that option. We take privacy seriously.

Please update to the latest version and try again. If you can share details, reach us at support@zohoscanner.com
 — we’ll be glad to assist you.

### 2/5 — Scan精度

*2025-09-19*

OCR精度低い
読み込んだ後、修正作業が発生するのでこのままじゃ使えない

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the OCR accuracy didn’t meet your expectations. We’re actively working on improving OCR quality to reduce the need for manual corrections.

### 3/5 — アップデートしたらおかしくなった

*2025-06-30*

前は日本語と英語の両方を選択できたのでメールの読み取りも日本語の読み取りも精度がかなり良かったのに、アップデート後には日本語か英語どちらかしか選択できなくなって、名刺によってはメールアドレスをきちんと読んでくれなくなって困っています。早急に改善して欲しい。

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback. We understand how important it is to scan business cards that contain both Japanese and English accurately. We’re actively working on improving multi-language recognition so that email addresses and other fields are detected correctly again.

Please update to the latest version when available. If you can share sample cards or details with us at support@zohoscanner.com
, it will help us address this faster.

### 1/5 — Switch from numbers to letters

*2024-09-03, version 3.2.19*

I cannot switch between numbers and letters

### 4/5 — Problem after reinstalling the scanner

*2024-06-20*

Data retrieval is difficult, lost my data after reinstalling the scanner. If possible please let me know how to retrieve the data.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-04-23*

Great

### 1/5 — Crash and burn

*2023-10-27, version 3.2.18*

I have been using this app with my Zoho CRM for years. It has been “ok” snd I’ve always had a Bluetooth keyboard for my iPhone. So making the corrections wasn’t so bad.  Today, I received an error message “Zoho CRM:Failed” “Maximum allowed length for Designation is 100” My only option at this point was to Contact Admin (that’s me) or Contact Support OR remove this service for this contact to clear this error”. 

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, only to find that none of my contacts were there and that there was no option to sign into my Zoho account to reconnect it. I want to keep all my integrated apps in the Zoho universe, but this is pretty hard to take.
