No Japanese / Sept 2026

日本語を正確に読み取りできるが、アプリ自体にはまだ日本語設定がないので星-1にしました。中国語と韓国語が出来るなら日本語も早く導入してほしい。Google contactとグループ名ごと連携できるアプリがなかなかないからこのアプリは貴重。

Response from developer

Thank you for rating the scanning accuracy and glad the Google Contacts integration is proving useful. We actually do plan in next versions to support Japanese interface, update when new versions are available.

It’s Good but Could be Better

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.

Sorry to hear you're running into this, especially the field-mapping and rotation issues, that's not how it's supposed to work. Reach out to me directly at a.ntourmisi@covve.com with a couple of examples and I'll get it investigated. On the social media fields, that's already on our backlog for upcoming versions.

Used to be good. Terrible now

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.

Hi Roger, apologies for the delay in responding. A few options here actually depending on your setup: 1) If you have Covve Scan installed on two devices you should enable the backup (in the app's settings) on both devices in order to sync data across 2) Alternatively, you can setup a team and share cards through the team functionality 3) You can save your scans as contacts to your phone which can then sync with your mac via google contacts / outlook etc 4) Finally you could export the data in excel format or setup a Zap through Zapier to sync any way you like Not sure which one is best for you - but do reach out to us at support@covve.com if you need further help. All the best, Alex (cofounder)

Not Satisfied

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

Response from developer

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.

Clunky login and sync

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