KG *2026-01-22* Bitte die deutschen Unternehmen und Abkürzungen langsam richtig übernehmen. **Developer response:** Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. To further investigate the problem, we kindly ask you to provide more details. Please tap “Feedback” in the app and send the log file to us for analysis. Thank you for your support and cooperation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at ios_support@penpowerinc.com. ### 3/5 — Zuschneiden *2023-06-28* Der automatische Zuschnitt funktioniert nicht mehr und ich habe anscheinend keine Möglichkeit mehr es manuell zu machen. Wie kann ich das beheben? Tipps? Die Antwort vom Entwickler hilft nicht weiter. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit mehr, nachträglich die Karte zuzuschneiden!! Der automatische Zuschnitt kann auch ausgeschaltet werden jedoch kann die Karte dann auch nicht mehr bearbeitet werden!! **Developer response:** Dear Valued Customer, Please confirm you have turned on the automatic cutting function. Also check the background pictures is there any items interference. If yes, please try again to adjust the background. If you checking the background pictures were clear and automatic cutting function turned on, still not automatically trimming. Please tap more options on the upper right of the App main screen, and then tap "Feedback" to provide us with the log and screenshots of the operation screen for confirmation, thank you. ### 2/5 — Kein Backup, teuer, mittelmäßiges OCR *2019-04-04* Das Einscannen der Karten funktioniert oft nicht. Das fängt schon beim ersten Schritt an, bei dem das Bild begradigt und der Kontrast erhöht werden sollte und setzt sich bei der Texterkennung fort. Dann muss man die Daten von Hand eintragen. Auch ärgerlich: Derzeit funktioniert keine der angegebenen Backup-Funktionen (erzeugt jedes Mal Fehlermeldung). Für den hohen Preis und dem angestrebten Einsatz im Geschäftsumfeld ist die App einfach nicht gut genug. ### 1/5 — Upgrade to google+? *2017-10-28, version 7.3.5* Tried the app after a couple years from last time. Tried to synch with google contacts. It asked me to upgrade to google+ and redirected me to a google page in Chinese. Must be a scam ### 1/5 — Deleted — Again *2017-10-23, version 7.3.5* I had used World Card for several years. It isn't perfect, but it has been a quick way to get business cards into my iPhone contacts, which in turn synchronize with Outlook. I was reasonably pleased with the way it worked. In the latest update, I was asked for permission to sync my Gmail contacts which I did not wish to do. It gave me no choice in the matter. As a result, I deleted the app from my phone because I have no interest in allowing it undefined access to other applications. Because the app gave me no choice, and I had no idea what it would do with data from my Gmail contacts, I considered the security risk unacceptable. When this was fixed and I noted that it now worked with iOS 11, I decided to give it another try. I just spent 30 min trying to scan 2 cards. The first wouldn’t auto crop. Finally it did. The second I never could get it to recognize, probably because the text is written in the opposite direction as usual. After being fooled twice, I am going to buy another app. ### 1/5 — Don't take this update!!!! *2017-10-08, version 7.3.3* I used WorldCard for many years but this update blew away all my contacts. ### 4/5 — Update fixed issue-thanks *2017-09-26, version 7.3.2* Updated -9/26- thanks for the fix, app works well now 9/25-Can you please fix the save to outlook when you take a picture of a business card? This was the reason I bought your app in the first place and I am very disappointed that it does not work with iOS 11. Most people do not use Gmail sync for business contacts, so forcing us to do it is not helpful. ### 1/5 — Not updated for IOS 11 *2017-09-22* No Functionality under IOS 11, because it can not save Contacts data. No buttons under IOS 11. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Save button missing in ios11. Now useless. *2017-09-22, version 7.3.1* Need to update!! ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 11 *2017-09-22, version 7.3.1* Been using it for years. Stopped working when I upgraded to iOS 11 today. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work with iOS 11 *2017-09-21, version 7.3.1* This is been my go to card scanning app, but it doesn’t seem to work with the update to the latest software. I can scan the cards but they don’t get saved. ### 4/5 — Was great. Broken in OS11 *2017-09-21, version 7.3.1* This app has been a saver for years but does not work in OS 11. Do you plan to fix it? ### 1/5 — funktioniert nicht mit ios 11 *2017-09-20* Nach Update auf iOS 11 es leider nicht mehr brauchbar. ### 1/5 — Nicht mehr zu gebrauchen *2017-09-15* Stürzt unter iOS 9, 10 ab. Signaturübermahme aus Email funktioniert nicht mehr. Erkennungsquote wird auch immer schlechter... Keine Updates oder Verbesserungen! Für iOS 11 nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. ### 3/5 — Was able to sync with iPad not any more. *2017-09-10, version 7.3.1* Previous I was able to sync with my iPad. Need to come up with work around or fix. ### 3/5 — Doesn't sync with contacts *2017-07-01, version 7.3.1* Yes, I can sync with Google contacts if I give it access to all my Google data and rights. But the inability to add to the iPhone contacts is inexcusable. It's nice as an independent app, if that's what you want. Has good recognition. ### 4/5 — Watch out when upgrading *2017-06-18, version 7.3.1* I'm a light user. I only had a few entries which I had not exported when I upgraded to the paid version. It wiped out my earlier cards! Beware! Otherwise, I am happy with the app. That's why I upgraded. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — save to contact option down *2023-03-31, version 7.5.3* The save to contact option is grayed and it cannot be turned on. Could you please help? ### 1/5 — Finger weg *2022-06-20* Früher hat die App funktioniert das ist aber lange Zeit vorbei **Developer response:** Dear Valued Customer, About your problem, we need to get more info, please tap "Feedback" to mail log for us. We thank you for your support. Should you have any more question or concern, please kindly contact our customer service team. ios_support@penpowerinc.com ### 1/5 — No after sales support *2022-04-22, version 7.5.3* Bought the business card scanner and the app at the same time. After exactly one week and year after scanning a few hundred cards. The scanner stopped working - told to go away as it is out of guarantee. £110 down the drain! Don’t recommend! ### 1/5 — This used to be a great app not anymore *2021-08-15, version 7.4.9* It’s a shame this used to be a really good job. This app used to be great! ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2020-05-13, version 7.4.7* Don’t purchase this app. I did and now the app will not sync with the outlook or my phone contacts. Lost 5 years of my business cards. Total waste of time. Don’t download this app ### 1/5 — What happened *2020-01-29, version 7.4.6* This used to be so useful. Has serious issues. You select an option and are left with a screen that doesn't let you enter any info or make any selection or even exit. Twice i had to lose my work and start over. ### 1/5 — Unreliable-Do not recommend *2019-12-21, version 7.4.6* Unreliable. Would not recommend using. Notes do not transfer over consistently to iPhone contacts. As notes are used for search capabilities, it makes this application useless. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2019-04-24, version 7.4.5* I used to use this app all the time and was extremely pleased with its functionality. It looks like they’ve not only taken away that free functionality, but the registration process is convoluted and dysfunctional. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-02-22, version 7.4.5* I had World Card for years. Now they blocked my old app so I purchased the new one. It will not take my old contacts into new app. Useless ### 1/5 — No outlook sync?? *2018-09-03, version 7.4.3* I had a similar thing happened to what the other reviewer said. I thought that world card once I paid for the professional version would sync to my Outlook. I haven’t used it in a while I’ve recently spent literally an hour trying to add a couple business cards and see if they’re synchronizing to Outlook. This is crap. I’d like my money back but I’m sure that’s not gonna happen and it’s going to take way too long to try to even deal with it. I have tried multiple settings and cannot get it to sync it does show up on my iPhone in the contacts but I need it to go to my laptop. I don’t even see where it came in the Gmail. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Von den getesteten die beste App *2019-03-17* Ich habe einige Apps genutzt, aber diese App ist die Beste. Für mich ein wesentliches Grund für die positive Bewertung ist, dass nach dem Aufsetzen des Kontaktes gewählt werden kann, mit welchem Exchange Konto der Kontakt synchronisiert werden soll. Er kann aber auch mit mehreren Exchange Accounts synchronisiert werden. Die Erkennung von Visitenkarten funktioniert auch gut. ### 5/5 — Excellent optical character recognition. *2019-01-29, version 7.4.5* The user interface gets better over time. Synchs flawlessly with Apple address book. For large batches of cards, I still use their hardware card scanner on my Mac. ### 5/5 — Best app, easy to use *2017-08-26, version 7.3.1* I have used a lot of other apps but this one is the best one if you plan to be successful! Great developer who is constantly updating to make the app even more efficient. ### 5/5 — Best business card scanner *2016-02-13, version 7.0.3* I have tried most of the business card scanners, this I by far the best and still provides a photo of the card with the contact. ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2016-02-12, version 7.0.3* Though this has always been a great app, the new user interface is a HUGE improvement. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2016-02-01, version 6.6.2* I've had this app for years now and has never failed me. It backs up to my iCloud account and the data and been available on every iPhone I have owned! I Hope the developer continues to update and hopefully enhance its uses as time goes on. ### 5/5 — Msut have! *2016-01-12, version 6.6.2* The best recognition results so far. ### 5/5 — excellent card scanner *2015-11-09* possibly the best out there! ### 5/5 — Best business card app *2015-09-22, version 6.6.2* I recommend this app to everyone in my industry. We are still in the age of business cards, and no one wants a trading book of business cards, nor do they want to type in all that information. This app does both, it stores all your business cards and transfers all the necessary information and you don't have to type a thing! A must have app ### 5/5 — A must for those that get a lot of business cards *2015-04-06, version 6.5.5* I have used this app for at least 3yrs and I would highly recommend this app saves me a great deal of time and it goes straight to my work contact details. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
