Leider funktioniert z.B. das kopieren der Kontakte über CSV Dateien nicht... ### 3/5 — Soweit ganz ok *2019-03-15* Visitenkarten werden gut erkannt, die Funktionen zur Verwaltung sind wirklich gut. Aber die Oberfläche! Die Übersetzung ist unvollständig, ein buntes Gemisch aus deutsch, englisch und französisch! Geburtstage werden im englischen Datumsformat angezeigt, im Einstellungsmenü ist die Schrift teilweise unleserlich klein. Das ist nervig und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob das in der Bezahlversion anders ist. Deswegen erstmal weiter mit Lite, in der Hoffnung dass sich was verbessert. ### 4/5 — Buena aplicación *2017-05-28, version 7.3.1* Me parece una aplicación muy buena. De las que he probado es la que mejor reconoce las tarjetas. Importante recordar que la versión lite, la que es gratis, tiene un límite de tarjetas escaneadas. Al final toca pagar o buscar otra alternativa. ### 3/5 — To be improved *2016-04-10, version 7.1.1* The App does not work syncronize with Worlcard program in Mac. Problem necessary to be solved asap!!! ### 4/5 — Online database *2016-03-22, version 7.1.0* Make online database ### 4/5 — No more paper business cards! *2016-02-23* 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! ### 3/5 — Overall new interface is good, but there are some bugs need to fix *2016-02-10, version 7.0.3* I have bought this app for years but didn't use it. With the new interface, I think it's much better than before , and start reusing it. However when I use, I found there are several bugs need to be fixed e.g the Google gmail contact category function just not sync - selected group on the app doesn't sync to the gmail contacts. Also, the name card image just not able to upload to gmail contacts and save to iPhone contacts as well. Look forward to further improvements made. ### 2/5 — What??? *2016-01-08, version 6.6.2* Cant understand aim of this app ### 2/5 — limited by design *2015-07-15, version 6.6.1* 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). ### 2/5 — Leider immer noch keine IPhone 6 Aufloesung *2015-06-25* . ### 4/5 — Upgrade *2015-05-14, version 6.6.0* Definitely my favorite app, unfortunately it was the only app that didn't transfer data when my iOS updated! Any advice? ### 2/5 — Good text recognition, but... *2015-01-28, version 6.5.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Works well, just a test run though... *2015-01-11* 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. ### 3/5 — Excellent text recognition, but… *2014-11-30* 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. ### 2/5 — Нет *2014-11-22* Плохо переводит на русский. Англ не пробовал. Нет, сношу нафик. Два за старания, дорабатывайте ### 3/5 — Lite version very limited *2014-11-01, version 6.5.1* Just a very limited lite version. Deleted immediately. They should specify this in the description. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only works with GMail *2019-12-15* 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. ### 1/5 — This app deleted my entire address book *2016-11-10, version 7.2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — The latest update destroy this app! *2016-05-05* 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! ### 1/5 — Does not support Chinese business card *2016-03-28, version 7.1.0* False advertising, does not support Chinese business card. ### 1/5 — Only allows 1 per week *2016-01-01, version 6.6.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Ne marche jamais *2015-08-27* Nul!!!! Ne marche jamais. Franchement le concepteur n'a toujours rien fait pour la faire évoluer. ### 1/5 — Useless! *2014-12-22, version 6.5.3* It cannot recognize a single correctly...just use evernote! Deleted it ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2014-09-21, version 6.4.0* Crashes upon opening. As soon as you select “Don’t Allow” to read my contacts, it closes. ### 1/5 — Terrible program *2014-09-17* 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. ### 1/5 — Huge waste of time *2014-07-12* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 非常不错的名片软件 *2019-03-21* 非常不错的软件，电脑中扫描录入的名片很快也可以在手机上看，数千张名片都不是问题！ ### 5/5 — Interesante *2017-03-19, version 7.2.2* La aplicacion que yo buscaba.sin necesidad de mezclar contactos d la agenda del telefono. Sencilla y facil de usar ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-08-11* 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. ### 5/5 — Finally something that works *2015-12-13* 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent Card Recognition & Great Features *2015-03-31, version 6.5.4* 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. ### 5/5 — HOLY COW *2014-09-27* 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 ### 5/5 — Nice OCR tool. *2013-09-25, version 6.0.5* Like the OCR app. ### 5/5 — Cool! *2013-09-17, version 6.0.5* Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Grate App *2013-09-17, version 6.0.5* This app does exactly what you would want it to do. ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-09-17, version 6.0.5* This app helps me! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
