### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-04-08, version 2.0*

I really love this app, and I feel bad when you remove it from the app store.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Business Card Manager

*2020-08-05*

Thus far I have 283 cards saved in this app and it makes it so convenient for me to find them when I’m in a hurry. The majority of my cards were already digitized by the time I found this app so my first “like” was that I could import them directly (both front and back) from the image library on my iPad rather than being forced to rescan them all again like some apps make you do. My second “like” was the fact that I could pull all my cards in exactly as they appeared rather than having the app “optimize” the image and mess it up (like certain BC apps that shall remain nameless do). My third “like” was that I could easily share which ever cards I wanted with friends through a simple sms message or an email with the images of the card. Next, I like that I can make my own categories (folders) for my cards and organize them any way I want to. 

I do hope the developer continues to update this app as it is my absolute favorite! I would even donate to him again if that would help!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App, But Has It’s Bugs

*2020-04-29*

This is, by far, the best contact scanning application in the app store. The UI is clean and fits well into Apple’s ecosystem. 

My only issues have been a few bugs, and weird UX patterns, but I’ve spoken with the developer and I’m hopeful we’ll see some changes soon!

### 2/5 — Very buggy !

*2020-01-30*

The app is very buggy. Scanning a card is a hit or miss .. takes a few tries to register and the your introduced to more bugs trying to add notes, the text section does not work properly .. many issues with this app. I like the design but functionally is not there.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to do ... anything

*2020-01-15*

It takes photos of cards, but it has never transcribed text at all ever on any card. Not one letter. And the user interface is terrible. I know I am supposed to be able to manually type text in, but I can’t figure out what secret code of tapping swiping or whatever opens that since there is literally zero buttons or instructions. And 90% of everything you touch takes you to the BUY PREMIUM page, making my simple action take forever as I dodge aggressive in-app sales barking.

### 3/5 — Needs iCloud Sync

*2020-01-12*

App works very well, but there is one major flaw, there is no syncing involved. I can’t trust my cards to be lost.

### 4/5 — Great app, but I wish...

*2019-12-09*

... It had a team version so I could use it in my office.

### 1/5 — App on iPhone 6 crashes every time scanning

*2019-11-11*

I bought lifetime subscription and was not able use the app once.

### 1/5 — Amazing app

*2019-11-03, version 2.0*

iCloud sync doesn’t work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-10-08*

This is the best business card reader that I have found. I am a cancer patient and I have many medical business cards. This appp takes a little bit to understand all that it does. Once you spend a little time with the all you will be pleasantly surprised. This app makes it so much easier to find all the doctors phone numbers. Thanks for a great app,

### 1.1 — 2019-02-27

Cards 1.1 is a major release with tons of highly requested features and bug fixes, as well as major speed improvements! I hope you like it :)

- iCloud Sync is finally available! Make sure to head on over to Settings to check it out, and stow all your cards safely in the cloud
- Contacts Sync: keep your contacts in sync with your business cards - John Smith now has his own contact, Alex Flintstone has his own contact, everyone has their own contact!
- Sort by Creation Date: have lots of cards? always forget where each one is? Enable Sort By Creation Date in Settings and your new cards show up at the top
- Compact Mode: see more cards at once (don't like shiny new things? revert back to large mode in Settings)
- Zoom in to cards: can't read something on a business card? Just pinch to zoom or double tap the card image
- Copy/share details: want to copy or share a phone number instead of calling it? Well, now you can. (And this includes everything, not only phone numbers)
- Scanning improvements: Did the scanner scan upside down?? (ugh) Just tap to rotate after scanning! Not in a great lighting environment? (ugh) Tap on the magic wand to enhance the card and make it look great
- Search finally works again! While I was fixing it, I made it even faster, so you can find the card you're searching for, instantly
- Long addresses? Details can now show up on multiple lines, so that long address now looks like a long address instead of a cut off address

Love Cards? I work on this app by myself, so I'd really appreciate it if you left a review :)
