I was hoping this app could help me with that, but I spent more time post process editing of an contact created from a business card, correcting all the data or even completing then if I was not lazy end put all these connect info by myself. For occasional scan the subscription seems to be a overpriced and for the mass scanning I don't think it is suitable because of the need to verify and correcting the output of the app. So, I have ended up with 3 business cards scanned for the entire year costing me lots of time and extra $60. The deal you can't resist. ### 2/5 — Review *2023-08-01* Great idea however always seem to have to manual enter and adjust something on every card I scan **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. terribly sorry. This problem is caused by the new macro mode added to the camera in the new model. This issue is being fixed and we will update the version as soon as possible. ### 3/5 — App is great / annoying pop ups *2023-01-30, version 2.6.58* I bought the pro app, which should mean that I don’t have annoying pop-up adverts asking me to upgrade. That’s exactly what happens at almost every click. It’s quite annoying. So either you have the full version when you buy the pro application, or you don’t! in this case, it seems that you don’t. ### 2/5 — Misleading price *2022-02-24, version 2.6.58* The add says $7.99.. then as soon as you download and open it.. it wants you to sign up for $46.99 a year- deleted it straight away ### 2/5 — Technical Issue *2021-11-01, version 2.6.56* App would open for a second and close, lasted 2 weeks. I had to delete and re-install the app, works fine now however I lost all my contacts! ### 5/5 — One of the best app for business cards *2021-06-13, version 2.6.54* It works with iPhone 6 exactly as it should be. ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-06-05, version 2.6.54* I love i ### 2/5 — Always having to correct the info. *2021-05-26, version 2.6.54* Have yet one card to scan the ibfo correctly ### 3/5 — Not bad *2021-04-16, version 2.6.54* The app is not the worst of them all,but I can’t scan the cards without premium.but I can still add a card or two to the app and is quite useful for my business because I can add member ID and premium.If you don’t know,I run a pub. ### 5/5 — Joe @ Al’s Trailers *2021-03-03, version 2.6.54* Great time saver ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The worst *2025-07-29* Absolute cancer of pop up and screen splashes to register, buy premium and what not, before you can even TRY to scan your first card. The privacy policy is just as bad. User beware. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are trying to upgrade the user experience. We are sorry for the inconvenience. You can provide better instructions in the "Suggestions and Feedback" page in the app to help us improve. ### 1/5 — Ehhhh *2025-01-09, version 2.10.11* App scans and adds contact information to your phone, but it does not capture the text correctly, you need to check on all the information and 10 out of 10 times you need to make corrections. ### 1/5 — It has gotten worse over the years *2024-05-22, version 2.9.2* I have been using smart card for a long time and now it is forcing me to pay for it. Not only that but it wastes my time. ### 1/5 — After paying $29 doesn’t work *2023-07-07, version 2.7.13* This app worked fine but I recently upgraded my phone to Apple iPhone 14+ and now the card show up as fuzzy and unreadable. I also tried to take a regular picture which looks fine but then could not be loaded manually. I wrote to the developer and it took them weeks to acknowledge the problem and then they only said they would try to fix it in the future. ### 1/5 — The need to input *2023-03-13, version 2.6.58* Unfortunately, this app I’ve had for quite some time, and I’ve had to input most of the information by keying it in. Taking the picture just does not work for some reason. Some of my friends have other apps, which works so much better. ### 1/5 — Samcard *2023-02-17, version 2.6.58* This app really is terrible. There is no way to contact the developer. They are chargig 19.00 dollars and there is no way to cancel the app. It does not scan cards. If it does scan a card it inverts the data and produces garbage. It has worked somewhat in yhe sst. But instead of getting better it is getting worse. ### 1/5 — Owner *2021-12-16, version 2.6.58* Stopped working Jibberish ### 1/5 — Was suckered into purcasing *2021-08-28* There is no info as to how to stop subscribing after the free trial ### 1/5 — Forceful & Manipulative *2021-02-25, version 2.6.54* I value companies that serve their customers (keyword serve) have used this app for years and sadly they’ve become manipulative forcing you to purchase a premium expensive subscription. Really disappointing guys ### 1/5 — Was brilliant not now *2021-02-22, version 2.6.54* I’ve used this for years, now they want $51 per year - don’t use it all that often so not worth it. Will be deleting it instead ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sweet! *2025-05-28, version 2.10.11* How cool is this! Get a lot of business cards this one is for you! ### 5/5 — Domino’s *2025-05-26, version 2.10.11* Sam ### 5/5 — دهوك بروشكى *2023-10-11, version 2.9.1* بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و السلام ### 5/5 — Kk *2023-01-09* Gg **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and recognition. ### 5/5 — funktioniert! *2022-12-02* ein gutes prg, das seit jahren bei mir zuverlässig ohne werbung läuft. vielen Dank **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and recognition. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2022-08-06* Great app! **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and recognition. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-10-13, version 2.6.54* Great easy to use, saves a photo of the card and, stores in your contacts ### 5/5 — Card scanner *2021-08-26, version 2.6.54* Works good comes in handy and offers easy use ### 5/5 — Just wow *2021-08-26* Using for past 2 years It is simply easy and convenient ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-06-26, version 2.6.54* Scans most information into phone, you can edit before placing in contacts.
