ScanBizCards app users can now create a shareable profile within the app with contact details such as name, job title, company name, emails etc. This profile can be shared through the ScanBizCards share code (similar to a QR code).

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-14*

What the hell is human transcription?? Very difficult to understand menu. I want batch processing of cards using OCR. Not human. I want output as CSV file that I can take into any crm. Not able to understand the app at all. Wasted money

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for giving us your feedback. Please write to us on support@scanbizcards.com describing the issue you’re facing and we’ll make sure to get back to you with a resolution. Thank you, ScanBiz Mobile Team.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2026-05-29, version 9.10.4*

Good for at least capturing photos of cards and keeping them in one place. Bad at extracting information from them. I have to constantly edit them and that’s not something I wanted to spend time doing.

### 1/5 — Using data for contacts

*2026-05-07, version 9.10.4*

Adding the data to the contacts in the iPhone is very poor.

### 1/5 — Scam,  subscription required after app bought

*2026-05-06, version 9.10.4*

I paid (albeit small amount of money) but paid nonetheless. But still the app required subscription for transcription of business card pic. Total scam !!!!!

### 1/5 — Lures you in

*2026-04-29, version 9.10.4*

Doesn’t give you the simple ability to scan/save without paying additional money or registering for their site.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2026-03-20, version 9.10.3*

When I try to modify the number and save, it won’t safe.  Tried multiple time and still not working…

### 1/5 — Misleading features.

*2026-02-28, version 9.10.3*

they don’t mention that to actually digitize the information on your business cards and export it to excel/outlook etc is going to cost you hundreds of dollars in “transcription credits”. Like i know you need money, but this is low..

### 2/5 — Cats Editing dilemma

*2025-12-22, version 9.10.2*

Manually editing the card is difficult because the text frame disappears behind the photo whenever you go into edit mode

### 3/5 — Mediocre character recognition.

*2025-12-11, version 9.10.2*

The OCR/character recognition is mediocre and spotty. There is some manual correction needed for every card. Amazing App has not improved since I installed it years ago given the advancements in the field and availability of AI enhancements

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-09-26, version 9.10.1*

Not working with iPhone 17 Pro Max. When I try to use the camera it crashes. What a waste of money.
