As I have made dozens of new connections, Contact Snapper has helped me capture their cards and transfer that information to my apple contacts. I am very pleased that there is no type of subscription required and no attempts to make in-app sales. When I stumbled upon a strange scanning glitch caused by a specific person’s card, support was very responsive. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2024-12-22, version 5.5.4* Exactly what I was looking for, simple and very powerful!! ### 1/5 — Duplications *2024-07-26, version 5.4.13* The app keeps duplicating contacts in both the app itself and in the iPhone contacts. The duplications continue 6-8 times! No customer service to assist with this problem! ### 5/5 — Anti *2024-03-29, version 5.4.9* So far, so good… ### 5/5 — Best BC Scanner *2024-03-08* This App is perfect at scanning BC but also does so much more. The syncing between my iPad and iPhone is perfect. So simple to get my contacts in my device Contacts App. Tried similar Apps and they were either completely overpriced or not very accurate. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Schneller Support, nachhaltige Pflege *2024-02-12, version 5.4.7* Der Support ist exzellent. Und die Pflege der Software ebenfalls. Gute Funktionalität. Aus meiner Sicht das Beste was es seit Jahren auf dem Markt gibt. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-01-21, version 5.4.5* Stopped working after latest update. ### 3/5 — Easy to photo, Exports wrong *2023-11-25* Contact Snapper is pretty good at photographing business cards and getting many of the fields right. The problem is the export - with excel, it exports phone numbers into stacked cells in one merged-cell row for each contact, which means the fields don't match up with import tools. Forget importing to Salesforce, for example, it skips addresses, and Outlook won't take a multi-contact .vcf file for some reason. So if you use Contact Snapper as your contact app, you're in good shape, but if you use Outlook or Salesforce, this doesn't work. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The Excel export was not designed to be used as an import for other Apps but we'd be happy to improve it and see if we can address your concerns. Also note that CS can automatically sync your contact with Outlook. Don't hesitate to contact us at support@handl.co, we'll get back to you immediately. ### 5/5 — Best scanner and great developers *2023-10-24* I looked at a lot of card scanner apps and this one does everything the others do without locking you in to expensive annual payment plans. The scanning function works great and I like that I can export the contacts, group them, see their location on a map, and so much more that’s packed into this app. I was recently having issues with the app and I emailed support about it and they got right on it and fixed the problem. I was not expecting that. Service was great. They fixed the issue but they also followed up with me multiple times throughout that process to update me on the status. Great app, great developers. I highly recommend this app. ### 2/5 — Misses email adresses *2023-09-14, version 5.3.5* Sometimes totally fails to capture email addresses. Puts email addresses and website URLs in fields generically named "Work". ## Frequently asked questions about Contact Snapper ### What does Contact Snapper do?
