### 1/5 — ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY

*2014-07-18, version 2.3.1*

Do not purchase because the app allows one card recognition per week with out upgrading to a box software for $45.99!!!!  This is after I spent $20.00 to purchase the WorldCard Link scanner that you see in the WorldCard icon.  Everything you do with Penpower’s app and hardware asks you to upgrade and does not allow you to use the other functions until you upgrade!!!!  Buyer BEWARE!!!

### 5/5 — Innovative

*2013-10-23, version 2.0.2*

To the next level of business cards management

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2013-09-18, version 2.0.0*

Good but not working properly. I need to restart frequently.

### 1/5 — You need the dock

*2013-07-22, version 1.2.1*

Which you have to buy. I should have read the reviews first--once you do, you realize they are all too professionally written and polished and even use the same wording. It may be that the dock is awesome, but I don't like getting played. So I deleted the app. Besides, there are too many others that just use your phone's camera.

### 1/5 — Common to buy their expensive product

*2013-07-03, version 1.2.1*

Just a marketing ploy to purchase their gizmo interface. I removed the app!

### 5/5 — Like It

*2013-06-02, version 1.2.1*

This app is armed with powerful features to handle business cards and save contact information while storing the original business card image. The dock hardware makes it easy to save any number of business cards in your iPhone. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Scanning Perfectly

*2013-06-02, version 1.2.1*

Impressed with the results of the app. Easy to scan and save the contacts. Card holder function helps to manage the contacts very conveniently. The dock hardware supports quick card scanning and scanned multiple cards perfectly.

### 5/5 — Good Recognition

*2013-05-29, version 1.2.1*

The UI is simple and easy to use. Multi-language support helps to recognize cards in different languages. The busies card stand helps to save a bunch of cards very conveniently. Very comfortable to manage business cards with this app.

### 5/5 — Good app for scanning business cards

*2013-05-29, version 1.2.1*

This app is very helpful when scanning lots of business cards. Previously, I had a hard time keeping them in wallets or in my planners but now I can easily manage them in my iPhone through this app. The best part of the app is the card holder function which saves all the contacts in a smart manner. The dock hardware quickly scanned multiple cards with greater accuracy and I am happy with its performance.

### 5/5 — Best of its kind

*2013-05-21, version 1.2.1*

Managing business cards with this app is really simple. synchronization of cloud contacts with Google contacts is helpful. The dock hardware scanned bunch of cards accurately. Works great.
