Turn business cards into useful contacts with Business Card Reader for iPhone and iPad. Scan a card, review the recognized details, and save it to Contacts with the card picture as the contact photo. SCAN AND ORGANIZE • Recognize text privately on your device with on-device OCR. • Scan one card or capture several in batch mode. • Import a card photo or add a contact manually. • Review names, companies, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and notes before saving. • Organize cards in dated conference and event folders. Move existing cards between events and sort by name, newest, or event date. • Search your collection, add tags and favorites, and keep the original card image. • Find people on LinkedIn by searching their name and company. A profile URL is optional. MADE FOR YOUR SCREEN Use the new iPad workspace and adaptive iPhone Duo layouts. Browse your cards and their details side by side when space allows. The interface adapts to resizing and rotation, with familiar Liquid Glass controls and the separate yellow Scan button. SAVE AND EXPORT Save reviewed contacts to your address book or share an individual vCard. Pro adds CSV and multiple-card exports, Google Drive and Dropbox through their installed Files providers, and Salesforce export. Direct Salesforce integration requires your organization to configure an OAuth client. Import existing contacts from Contacts or a vCard backup for free. CHOOSE HOW YOU SCAN Start with 10 free scans. After that, complete an optional rewarded video to unlock another 10 scans, subject to ad availability, or subscribe to Pro. Pro Monthly: US $4.99 per month. Pro Yearly: US $49.99 per year. Both plans include unlimited scans, no ads, and additional export options. Subscription is optional, and the onboarding offer can be skipped. Local prices are displayed before purchase. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Italian, and Simplified Chinese. UPGRADING FROM AN EARLIER VERSION Version 4.1 keeps cards and event folders created in 4.0. The 4.x app preserves earlier app files but cannot directly read the pre-4.0 database. Import contacts already in your address book or a .vcf backup from Settings → Import contacts. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
