Forget paper business cards, because they are unnecessary and severely outdated! Take your business presence to the next level with this innovative and unique app. The following features are at your disposal: - Store and manage business cards of you or your company. - With the QR code your business partner can easily and quickly save your business cards in his contacts - even without having this app installed! All they have to do is open up the camera app on their smartphone and scan your QR code. - Share your cards even faster directly from your homescreen with WIDGETS, which also display a QR code for scanning. There are 2 sizes of the widgets (QR code only or QR code with contact details). You can display as many of your business cards as you want on your homescreen as a widget. To choose which card to display in the widget, long-tap on the widget and select "Edit widgetโ€. - Tap the share button of the card to share the contact via email, SMS/iMessage, Whatsapp, Signal or other apps/messengers. - Minimalist design with support for darkmode. - Innovative, simple and self-explanatory operation. We value your privacy. Your data belongs only to you, that's why the app stores your valuable data safely in your iCloud. At no time we have access to it, which is why this app is also very suitable for companies. Also, the app does not have access to your contacts on your smartphone.
