- Search contacts by name, company, and job position
Forgot someone’s name? Not a problem. You can always look them up.

- Call and email contacts
Just tap and go.

- Leave notes about the person you met
Write down notes to “remember” the time you met the person for future reference.

Message with Wantedly Chat, Wantedly's agile business chat platform.

- Share and swap business cards with others online
Share a business card via Wantedly chat or email with a temporary URL link. To protect privacy, the link will only be valid for a set amount of time.

- Express yourself through a full professional profile
You’re more than what your card says. Create your Wantedly profile with a self introduction, work history, education, achievements, projects, social media links, and more.

### 1/5 — データー全消えでの対応が

*2025-07-23*

名刺を多数登録して２年ほど経過してみようとしたら
データーが全消え。
追い合わせをしても
アカウントのメルアド提示を催促し
そのアカウントにデーターがないことがわかったら
即
改めて登録しなおせとのこと。
要はうちの会社には問題なく
あなたが全部データーを消したんでしょ
とあたかも言っているかの対応。
なんともそっけない対応に
激怒
あなたの貴重なデーターを紛失しないためには
このアプリはお勧めしません

### 2/5 — 有用だが広告がウザすぎる

*2025-06-25*

スキャン精度も良く、極めて有用だが1スキャン毎に広告が入るのが難点。
大量の名刺を取り込みたい時などは何回も何回も広告を見せられて非常にストレスを感じる。
起動時のみとか、1回広告が流れたらその後の数回のスキャンはは広告なしで出来るとか、なんとかして欲しいと切に思う。
広告が流れなかった頃から使っているので余計にうざったく感じてしまう。

### 1/5 — 広告うざい、時間の無駄

*2025-06-18*

昔はなかったのに、今は1枚スキャンすることに広告を見せられる。何枚もまとめてスキャンしたい場合は本当に時間の無駄！！お勧めしません！まだ有料で広告を流さないならよかったけどそれもない。最悪。改善してほしいですね。過去のデータあるので、直ぐに辞められず。どうにか別のアプリに引越しを検討してます。

### 5/5 — 満足しています

*2025-04-26, version 8.0.3*

ビジネスにプライベートに 今やなくてはならないツールです。 わからないことや困ったことに メールで迅速に対応していただき、 今の段階では★5つです。 これからもユーザーの要望を反映し 更なるバージョンアップを 期待いたします。

### 4/5 — いい感じ🎉

*2025-04-10, version 8.0.3*

いつも利用させて頂いてますが、読み取りも正確で大変重宝しています🤗 周りの人達にも紹介したいと思います👍

### 5/5 — 簡単で使い勝手が良い

*2025-02-11*

私の仕事は基本的に名刺を受け渡しする業種ではありません。けれど、だからこそ業者さんからいただいた名刺の保管にあまり手間を掛けたくないというのが正直なところでもあります。
このアプリは一切の手間が掛からず、名刺をスマホ撮影するだけで管理してくれます。機能も過不足なくてとても使い勝手がよいと感じています。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいアプリ🤗

*2024-12-29, version 7.1.34*

こんな素晴らしいアプリは、他に無い。 仕事がはかどります、ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — シンプルに使いやすい

*2024-12-05, version 7.1.34*

シンプルで、とても使い勝手が良い。
最近、名刺登録時にCMが入るようになったのが気になる

### 4/5 — 使い勝手良い

*2024-11-15, version 7.1.34*

サクサク名刺登録出来る。
メモに残すキーワードで、検索出来るので、
出会ったイベント等別でリストアップ出来る。

### 4/5 — 名刺の認識がとても良いです。

*2024-11-14, version 7.1.33*

名刺の認識がよく、他の名刺管理ソフトも使いましたが、wanted peopleが一番名刺の認識が良いです。
