### 1/5 — Used for years

*2017-11-17, version 3.6.2*

I am getting sick of having to purchase this app every time I get a new device!  I do not know if it is because the developer makes us users purchase after every update or what, but the next time I am required to purchase I AM DONE!!!

### 1/5 — NOT compatible with Gmail contacts

*2017-11-08, version 3.6.2*

I only bought this app as it states it can sync (export) to google contacts. When you try to log in, google denies access from this app. Developers need to read the google instructions and make a change but for now $7.99 down the toilet.

### 3/5 — More improvement need

*2016-03-27, version 3.6.2*

Great App, need improvement to enable user to select navigation software

### 5/5 — The Best Business Card App

*2015-09-06, version 3.6.1*

I have been looking for a great business card app for a while.  I must say that this has to be the most organized, easiest, best, completed business card app out there.  I don't have to carry around a huge business card book with all my business contacts anymore. I really love this app.  I really recommend everyone who's deals with contacts to get this.  The $7.99 for this app is definitely worth the money.

### 1/5 — piece of garbage

*2015-03-31, version 3.5.2*

I have had to download this ap twice. Upon completion, I uploaded every business card I have which is over 100. After uploading and thanking my stars I was finally done, the ap quick working. I now have the black screen of death! I guess my two options are waiting for a bug fix on the next release or downloading this crappy ap a third time and uploading all my business cards yet again. What lovely choices for an ap that was $6.99. Final words- don't waste your money!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2014-10-11, version 3.2.0*

I've used this for awhile and I was quite happy with it.  Emphasis on "was."  Does not work at all now.  If it opens, it crashes shortly thereafter.  Usually doesn't even open.

### 1/5 — BUGGY

*2014-10-08, version 3.2.0*

Great application, if you can get it to work. Since the last update it is as buggy as a roach motel. Locking up my iPad, crashing, or simply refusing to startup. Very disappointing as the prior version was a great tool to manage by contacts.

### 3/5 — Will not backup to Dropbox

*2014-04-18, version 3.1.3*

I haven't been able to backup to Dropbox in quite some time. No info on website, please advise.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2014-03-11, version 3.1.2*

This takes a nice pic of the card but it can't figure out the information. This was a waste of money. Do not buy.

### 5/5 — Does exactly as expected.

*2014-02-21, version 3.1.2*

You take a picture of a business card.  It converts it to text and fills in an info sheet.  You also get a pic of the card.  The info is easily organized.  You can use and send the info easily.  It replaces a stack of cards.  You can also add notes, and photos.  Surprised at how well it works.  Even on rather creative cards with unique formatting.
