Ratings and Reviews
Great Business Tool
Once you get into the habit of using this app you will never loose a business card and never have to carry them again. This app simply delivers on every front.
Ok but nothing wonderful
Picks up names, numbers, emails ok but titles and company names are hit and miss, usually miss. Needs editing in each case.
Didn’t correctly pick up the outline of any of the 3 cards I’ve tried so far so they had to be manually selected. Ok for a couple of cards but would be a major pain for heavy use. Maybe it needs a higher contrast background?
I didn’t like the permissions at first use - the setup implies you need to agree to all of them (spam, data usage etc) when it’s actually just the t&cs.
Other than that it’s ok but if I were going to pay for an app I’d look elsewhere.
Fantastic App
I have used both Camcard and this app and haves switched over to this due to the better layout and the quick switch between name and company of your contact.
One thing that can improve this app is the ability to click on your business card Image and save it to your camera roll instead of having to email it to get that Image.
Also if the Image could be sent via sms as well.
