### 3/5 — Need more design options and social media platforms

*2026-03-12*

It’s a very simple digital business card design, it needs more business card design layout. Also there’s no way to add custom social media links for unsupported social media apps. Currently they only have linkin, Facebook, X, and Skype. No instagram or other major platform.

### 4/5 — Good, can be Great!

*2025-08-28, version 2025.8.6*

Great Interface. Pls add a feature to add my business card to Apple Wallet (check Blinq).

### 4/5 — Love on Android not on iOS

*2025-06-26, version 2025.8.3*

Will submit a bug report.  If Haystack is syncing with my stock address book, Outlook app constantly crashes.   After uninstalling the app, no crashing.

### 2/5 — Removed the ability to save contacts without full contact access

*2025-04-21, version 2025.6.1*

The ability to save contacts to your phone without giving Haystack full access to your entire contacts list seems to have been removed recently.

I don’t mind having it sync the contacts I scan in but I don’t want the app to have access to the details of everyone else in my phone.

### 3/5 — Decent but wants to upload your existing contacts

*2025-02-11*

I don’t see any valid reason to upload my contacts other than mine my information. Interface is awkward to use

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2024-11-19, version 2024.11.0*

The app freezes whenever you select any email/phone number

### 2/5 — Not great

*2023-01-11, version 3.7.10*

Logos don’t resize well. Logo wasn’t auto-imported accurately. Resizing feature for photos is glitchy.

### 4/5 — One suggestion

*2022-07-15*

I love the app, I use it all the time and it’s the best way to get a prospect’s email or number without being pushy. 
The reason it’s not a 5 star review is because I can’t add my Instagram or TIKTOK. It would be great to have the option to add the rest of the social media apps.

### 4/5 — I like it, some critical feedback

*2021-06-17*

I love using this app and being able to send people my card virtually. The only fallbacks would be 1) you need a different email for each card you make 2) when you edit the message that sends along with your card- it always ends up resetting to the default message, making me type my personalized message every time I want to send my card.

### 4/5 — Great app.  Needs more social media options

*2021-06-05*

I love this app, but it only gives you the option to share website, FB, LinkedIn, Twitter, Skype. No way to add handles for Insta, Tiktok, etc

### 3/5 — Needs major updates

*2021-02-18*

I have an iPad that this app barely works on. I can share my card, but it is a pain to edit and I cannot set up an email signature. I can do these things on the desktop computer because it prompts me to download the app.

### 4/5 — Very good.

*2021-01-31, version 3.7.0*

Does the job better than others I’ve tried. Two small faults let it down. There’s options to link the card to Facebook, Twitter, Skype etc but no link to Instagram. Secondly if you try sending your card via email, the message seems to get sent to the recipients spam folder. Otherwise excellent.

### 4/5 — Apple wallet support will make it 5 stars

*2020-11-16, version 3.7.0*

For convenience, you should really be able to add your card to apple wallet.

### 3/5 — Unverified

*2020-08-06, version 3.6.0*

I love having this app to send people my digital business card. One thing I have noticed is that it constantly says my card is unverified. Even after verifying it, it still comes back as unverified. Sometimes it also doesn’t link people to my card. I have an iPhone, but when sending it to an Android phone, it doesn’t always go through.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-04-13, version 2026.2.0*

I downloaded this app so I can scan business cards and store them on my laptop.  I want to use it like a rolodex, but I have yet to figure out to do that.

### 1/5 — Kartlar silindi

*2026-02-26, version 2026.1.0*

Programda kayıt ettiğim kartların hepsi silinmiş nasıl geri alabilirim?

### 1/5 — Refuses perfectly valid URL addresses

*2026-02-20, version 2026.1.0*

Does not recognise perfectly valid .com.au URLs

### 1/5 — Warning

*2025-12-02, version 2025.11.0*

Warning to anyone signing up to Haystack - You cannot export all your cards in bulk. 

You think you can when you sign up to premium, but it takes you off the app (isn’t this 2025?!) and creates a separate account so none of your scanned business cards are there. 

Absolutely useless!

### 1/5 — Sneaky contact stealer

*2023-02-03, version 3.7.10*

No! I don’t want to sync my contacts with your servers.  And when I share a contact — I want to share a vCard, not a link to your site!
Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2022-01-10, version 3.7.4*

Tra i contatti da inserire ha Skype che non usa più nessuno e non contempla Instagram.
Ho provato a scansionare il mio biglietto da visita cartaceo e ha sbagliato tutti i dati.
Davvero non capisco come possa avere tutti questi voti.

### 1/5 — The price is just ludicrous!

*2021-03-09, version 3.7.0*

I have asked the support how to add an Instagram link/icon. The answer I got was pay $96/year. Are they crazy? Or just greedy? I don’t mind at all buying an app but charging for something this simple such crazy amount is just not right. I pay the same price for my Photoshop subscription that took decades to develop and had hundreds of people working on it. Don’t waste your time on creating your “free” card. Better spend it on finding a more sensible alternative (there are plenty).

### 1/5 — Incomprensibile

*2020-05-26, version 3.5.2*

Non si riesce a capire come inviare il proprio biglietto da visita. 
Cancellata

### 1/5 — Unable to figure out how to edit card

*2019-12-29, version 3.4.9*

Not user friendly. Wanted to update my cards info, not able to edit on a computer on through app, and app is not giving me an option to edit card info. Pretty frustrating. The app has a lot of potential

### 1/5 — Logged me out

*2018-04-30, version 3.2.0*

“Password forgotten” missing and when typing it is glitching.

### 5/5 — Free and Excellent

*2025-02-19, version 2025.2.0*

I’ve tried so many apps and i promise you, this one does the job and is free! Yes maybe there is no AI or other fancy stuff but doesn’t require a subscription and is well designed, it syncs through multiple accounts and for all the business cards i’ve scanned the mistakes are very small. Well done!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-04, version 2025.1.1*

Widget makes it super easy to share it outside of the App. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — LOVE the widget

*2024-10-11*

The widget makes it the easiest way to share my card!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2023-06-09, version 2023.0.3*

I have used camcard for years and haven't been impressed with their free version. I was happy to pay for the paid version, but the annual subs made no sense. Every so often I check for apps that do the same and better for reduced subs or free and never found one until now! 

I love this app! I typed in my email, it came up with the logo of my company on the business card and verified my email, all in a matter of minutes!!!  Thank you thank-you thank you!

### 5/5 — Good for connecting

*2021-05-19*

This app is great for connecting with folks on the go. It is easy to send them your information and receive yours. If you receive a business card you can quickly scan them and have all information digitized. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Easiest way to share contact info

*2021-04-24*

Easy to use and scans as well as anything else out there. The beauty is how easy it is to share contacts, including your e-card.

### 5/5 — Awesome and Easy

*2020-12-24*

Someone sent their card to me and I immediately downloaded the app. It’s awesome and the easiest way to send my information as a real estate agent. And I can scan the business cards of others. Just Awesome!! I would ask that in the future add the Instagram tag since a lot of people use that as well as fb. 
Thanks so much for creating this!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app - environment conscious and effective

*2020-12-08, version 3.7.0*

Used these business cards for the Dubai Gitex conference.
Easy to use efficient and a great way to exchange info.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-08-28, version 3.6.0*

So far the best business card making app it’s simple my clients receive it fast and it’s so easy to use I love it will recommend

### 5/5 — So far, so GREAT!

*2020-01-24*

Have scanned 30 cards so far with very little issue, the only times I have had to edit the OCR is on ones I had a hard time reading myself! And making my card for sharing was a breeze!
