Only works with GMail
Absolutely useless. I can’t set myself up unless I’ve got a google account. Are developers that lazy that they think I’ll change my email provider for one app? Seriously???
If I could give a zero I would.

This app deleted my entire address book
This is the first time I write a bad review on the App Store. This app deserves it! It's hard to use, unclear and managed to delete my 3,500-person address book. It just created days of wasted work for me. Worst experience on mobile.
Awesome
Been searching all morning and this app is the best for card organization. Only had to make minor edits after transcription, most likely due to some of the cards being worn. I have the free app and it's awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the pay app if I need to for any reason.
The latest update destroy this app!
I used a paid app of WorldCard for many years and it was doing great... until they send this last update. Now a photo does not scan a third of the info leaving you to enter the rest manually. The new design is confusing, not easy to use, miss few basic keys to make it easier to operate. Sorry but after many years of faithful use, I might have to divorce with this app. Sad to have ruined a good app!

No more paper business cards!
With this app, there is no need to carry stacks of paper business cards! Just one click and it captures all the information pretty accurately. Love it! Saves time to organize! No more bulging card holders! ***To developers: please make it so the info can be exported in excel format!!! If you do that, I'll pay for the app!

What???
Cant understand aim of this app
Only allows 1 per week
The Lite version only allows you to export 1 recognized data per week. If you want to upload more, you have to buy the full version.
Finally something that works
I thought it would be pretty simple to find an app that scans a business card and puts it into your contacts.
After trying 4 others that dos a terrible job in reading the simplest of cards I finally found this one. It works!

limited by design
Free - and useless too. No real opportunity to see if it is worth paying $7 for the real thing. One card per week for the free version (and that card didn't scan well).
Upgrade
Definitely my favorite app, unfortunately it was the only app that didn't transfer data when my iOS updated! Any advice?
Excellent Card Recognition & Great Features
I've tried some card readers in the past and have been disappointed in their performance. I stumbled upon this app and thought I would give it a try. I am VERY impressed with this app and it's performance.
I've scanned five cards in with little problems, some of them made with very difficult fonts/colors. One was almost completely done with an italicized font in a small size. The app had a little problem with the "f"s that were designed to drop below the line like a "j", but the remainder was spot on. Another was a graphics heavy card on black, shiny background with terribly small font (even difficult for me to read). This program handled that spectacularly. It picked up all of the text and entered it correctly in the correct fields. That really surprised me given how difficult it was to read. Another was one that had been beaten up, with some random small marks over the person's title and web site address. With that damage, I was expecting a lot of gibberish in those fields. This card data was entered in perfectly except for those few obscured letters, which were simply removed & a space in their place. Convenient for me to fix it.
When you take a photo, you have the option of using the flash and adjusting the exposure a bit. What I really like about this is the fact that it automatically scans the card and trims out the excess, then cleans up the image a bit. I hate doing all of that, it wastes my time.
This app maintains a contact list, much like the installed phone app. However, it displays a small image of the card in the list for easy viewing. On the contact's page, you can snap a photo of the person to include in the information.
You can sync these contacts up with your phone app, either individually as you enter a contact or globally via the settings. This app even grabs your various contact groups and allows you to set that data. If the app finds a duplicate entry (you've already entered the card or entered partial information in your phone app) it gives you the option to merge the new information into the old, which is a very nice feature to prevent duplicate entries.
Since there is no option for a card image in the native phone app, the card image doesn't save there, making it unavailable to a more powerful contact manager app you may be using (like I am). WorldCard allows you to either save the card photos in the app or on the camera roll. Using the camera roll option allows me to import the card image into my CM app. I then delete it off the camera roll to save space. Head shots do export with the info and are viewed as usual in the native app & my CM app.
I presume this will import contacts via a QR code. There is a button, but I didn't have one to test. I'm presuming the "Signature" option on the home screen allows you to take a photo of someone's signature to include in their file. I can't test that as I've reached my five card limit for the trial version and can now only do one card a week.
I don't get cards very often, so purchasing the full version is not worth the money for me right now. I'll probably stick with this lite version and simply enter the remaining cards once a week. However, when I next go to a convention, I will definitely be buying the full version of this app. It's well worth the money for fast, accurate entry.

Good text recognition, but...
The interface is dated. Worse, it doesn't save contacts directly to iPhone contacts. You have to opt in each time you scan a card. This app wants to build a contact book inside the app, which is worthless.
Works well, just a test run though...
App works well at recognizing cards. Light version only allows five cards the first week and only one card every week after that. Clearly just a test-run version. Still, functionally it worked well and was easy to use.
Useless!
It cannot recognize a single correctly...just use evernote! Deleted it
Excellent text recognition, but…
Sadly, and although it is actively developed, the app has not kept up with the latest versions of iOS. I'm thinking mostly of how the app looks (stuck in iOS 5 land), but improved sharing (SMS, AirDrop, and expanded email options) would also be nice. The app could really use a visual overhaul and an improvement in user experience.

Lite version very limited
Just a very limited lite version. Deleted immediately. They should specify this in the description.
HOLY COW
This app passes all expectations I thought it would misspell or even mislabel the info I know if there is bad quality photos it will not work correctly but still I'm possibly gonna buy the full app if my friend doses not get it first lol
Won’t even open
Crashes upon opening. As soon as you select “Don’t Allow” to read my contacts, it closes.
Terrible program
The free version gives you five card to read. What they don't say is that it really is five tries. After trying and erasing I never got the program to read any cards correctly. All field were blank so I might have as we'll entered everything by hand.
I never saved any contacts and after my fifth attempt of trying to get it to work, the app would not allow anymore tries. If I can't get the demo to work, I certainly will not buy this app.

Huge waste of time
Either the app doesn't work at all or there needs to be better documentation. I took a photo of a card + got nothing but a photo. Had to enter all the info manually. What is the point of that. Plus the app requests access to my contacts so I suppose it could be spamming everyone whole I type this?! Don't bother with this or the paid app IMO
