### 3/5 — It’s Good but Could be Better

*2026-08-09, version 14.6.6*

I purchased this scanner over the other 10 I tried because of the .csv export file is the one that works best for my needs, but boy, the scanner needs major improvement. I have to correct every single card I scan in one way or another. It constantly puts the business name everywhere but in the business name field. It will put descriptions or other information  written on business cards as one long text thread in the address field or job field. It puts square business card rotated right instead of the way I scanned them in and the photo editor doesn’t fix it. I can rotate the image in the editor but the edit will never save. I like that I can have my own fields that I create, because I need Facebook and Instagram fields but I’m surprised that they don’t automatically have these fields for the scanner to read, so I have to manually input that information every time. There is a LinkedIn field, so why not other social media fields that people actually use? If the scanner function actually worked the way it is supposed to and read in and inputted the correct information in the correct spot, I would be able to scan 10x as fast. This is why it only gets 3 stars.

### 1/5 — Used to be good. Terrible now

*2026-07-14, version 14.5*

When I firsts bought this about five years ago, it worked super well. For the last couple of years it’s been next to useless. In my old iPhone 12 and now in my fully up to date 17 pro. At the moment, I’m logged in and online, but it tells me I need to log in to save my cards (that’s already done). It also says I’m offline when I’m online. It’s basically unusable.

### 1/5 — Not Satisfied

*2026-07-04*

It need very strong network, only WiFi it works. Not even in 5G. It becomes very difficult to use it when required to scan

**Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this! We've recently built offline scanning for exactly this case, so cards scan with no connection and process automatically once signal returns. Give it another try, and if you run into any trouble, reach out to support@covve.com and we'll help you out.

### 1/5 — Clunky login and sync

*2026-06-27, version 14.4.7*

I can’t log in on two devices. I also have had my saved cards disappear several times.

### 5/5 — N Rama Prasas

*2026-06-16*

Great software and excellent

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, glad it's working well for you.

### 2/5 — Phenomenal app, pay wall

*2026-06-02, version 14.3*

This is a very well made app, but there is an immediate pay wall, so that’s not cool. Seems like a great resource if you’re willing to pay though!

### 3/5 — was great until last update

*2026-06-01, version 14.3*

Last update broke zapier integration. 70 salesmen unable to scan cards. 
Not having a great day here.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-05-22, version 14.1.3*

Great!

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2026-05-07, version 14.1.3*

The first two business cards I scanned were wrong on most files

### 1/5 — Anfangs gut, seit letztem Update schlecht

*2026-04-09*

Seit dem letzten Update, erkennt die App fast nichts mehr richtig, sie erkennt was, aber hat meist einen Zahlendreher in Handynummern oder eine falsche Mail. Die Überprüfung dauert daher genau so lange, wie als würde mans selbst einspeichern. Vorher hat es gut funktioniert, leider jetzt nicht mehr.

**Developer response:** Hallo Hoizscheidl, es tut mir leid, das zu hören. Seltsam ist, dass es keine Änderung an der Scan-Engine gegeben hat. Ich würde Ihnen empfehlen, die Kameraeinstellungen Ihres Smartphones zu überprüfen, falls dort etwas nicht richtig eingestellt ist. Abgesehen davon bietet Covve weiterhin den genauesten Scanner auf dem Markt.

Schreiben Sie uns gerne auch an support@covve.com, dann helfen wir Ihnen bei der Fehlersuche und sorgen dafür, dass alles wieder funktioniert!

Alles Gute,
Alex (Mitgründer)
