No info on website, please advise. ### 2/5 — Barely useful *2013-12-08, version 3.1.1* Don't buy this. Way too many limitations. Contacts that are just company names are listed as "No Name", sort by Company name and people with no company show up as "No Name". The search function doesn't work at all, just hangs up. All of the settings are focused on Chinese. Don't waste your money. ### 2/5 — So Far? *2013-11-30, version 3.1.0* Well the jury is still out. So far I've downloaded several times. Has yet to work. It freezes up so I haven't been able to access a single contact. If I had to spend $7.00 again. I WOULD NOT DO IT I have now simply requested a refund. This app is much to pricey to have to manually enter ANY INFO in my opinion. By the way,,it gets 2 stars because it looks pretty ### 2/5 — Should be a better alternative *2013-10-23, version 3.0.1* Comments - interfase is awfull. Not compliant with ios guidelines. - character recognition worked acceptabily, but recognized around 4 out of 6 or 7 fileds - does not have a direct export to ipad contacts! - too expensive ### 4/5 — Good but can be better *2013-10-04, version 3.0.1* Easy to use, but need more features attractive. ### 2/5 — Worked at first, but now crashes *2012-07-29, version 1.2.3* This app worked reasonably at first. I had to correct minor issues with every card, but it saved time versus hand-keying them. However, after scanning a card this morning, the app crashes every time I try to correct the scanning errors, and has basically become non-functional. I have many iOS apps, but this is the first one that has essentially stopped working. There is extremely limited support information of the developer's site. ### 2/5 — Consistent *2012-06-18, version 1.2.3* I just imported 50 cards from various companies using this app on the new iPad. The one thing this program does consistently is misinterpret important information. ### 2/5 — Poor Quality *2012-06-15, version 1.2.3* Downloaded the IPhone version and it worked great. This one does not recognize cards very well and a lot of editing needs to be done. ### 5/5 — Very well done! *2012-05-27, version 1.2.3* I was initially reluctant to get this app because of the high price tag, but boy am I thrilled I caved and finally did. The character recognition is outstanding. Batch card recognition is a huge time saver. The OCR is flawless and it not only picks up the image accurately it also optimizes it. Contacts are well organized so retrieval is a breeze. Multiple backup options have been provided with access to iCloud and Dropbox ensuring that your data is safe always. The best part about this app however, is it's ease of use and simple yet classy interface. It does everything mentioned in the app description and does it really well. The developers have done an amazing job. ### 3/5 — Dan *2012-05-21, version 1.2.3* App is fairly good but has some bugs still. Running on iPad 3 it crashes every time you have to make a change in the phone number field. Worse still it does not save the changes so from restart you start fixing the details from the top. Camera recognition is also quite good but every second (or so) card you are. Having to make at least one change to correct the info. I had the lite version and paid for the full one and I really don't see the difference. Still struggling to export to iPad contacts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2014-01-23, version 3.1.2* Wanted a scanner not just taking a pix of business cards. I could have done that w/zone spending $7! Would like a refund. ### 1/5 — Just wiped out all my contacts *2013-09-27, version 3.0.1* Something is wrong with this application. After adding new contact it wiped out all but favorite contacts that I collected for 1 year. Good that I have a backup. ### 1/5 — World card hd *2012-12-24, version 1.2.4* This product does not even come close to working as advertised on my iPad. It was a waste of money and I have contacted the company twice without positive results. ### 1/5 — Don't buy for iPad *2012-03-09, version 1.2.0* Don't buy this for ipad2. It won't recognize anything. How do I get my 15 bucks back? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — It works *2013-10-14, version 3.0.1* This is the best card reader I've ever used. ### 5/5 — I like the app. *2013-10-08, version 3.0.1* The app is useful. I can collect all my business cards on the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2013-09-25, version 3.0.1* WorldCard HD is a very professional and awesome application for my needs. ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2012-11-20, version 1.2.4* Simple interface. Easy to add biz cards info. OCR recognition is perfect and Google Map is one of my favourite feature to identify the location. Well suited for people who often deal with biz cards. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — very useful feature *2012-08-07, version 1.2.3* This app provides some very important missing features in the default contact app. You can organize and group your contacts and smart search your contacts. Very useful. Thumbs up! ### 5/5 — fabulous *2012-08-07, version 1.2.3* What a fabulous app, the character recognition is super accurate. You can even scan and recognize large numbers of cards at a time. Super cool and effective! ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2012-05-29, version 1.2.3* There is a good introduction when starting the app, and it has a clear interface. I am lazy and keeping my contacts updated is a chore for me. But now, its a breeze. The ocr is magic, as far as I am concerned. Some very weird card layouts were picked up fine and added nicely. This app does a perfect job. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2012-05-29, version 1.2.3* My iPad is turning out to be the device I carry along for any conference and meeting, and it's great that I can organize the cards right away now. I love the google map integration, smart and neat. Character recognition has so far been excellent (using new iPad). The app is pricier than most, but it has been a smooth experience for me, and the time saved is more than worth it. Top marks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
