I Can Recommend This App
11/09/2019

I work in a professional setting and I meet with new people once a month within my work life and this application makes it easy to organize and keep everyone’s contacts. I got a new phone and made quick backup within the app on my old phone. When I installed this application to my new phone, I just restored from the backup (needs internet connection) and I had all my contacts onto my new phone (and on the app). It was easy to do.One problem is the character recognition sometimes incorrectly get a character and I have to manually fix it.

Could be better

This app has great features that other apps do not offer. I like being able to search them on LinkedIn, save their photo, and export my contacts into an excel file. However, this app can do better with the address function. If the address isn’t correct, I have to make a new address and delete the original because it will not save my edit, or it will mix the state into the street address. Additionally, once I do get the right address and export to an excel file, the state, street, and zip columns are never accurate in the file. It’s very frustrating. Have you thought about making specific fields when inputting the address on the app instead of one long line? One card will work, while the other card from the same company won’t. I just don’t get it. Also, I can’t download the app on my desktop because it’s a windows, and my phone is an apple product and it shows there’s no device found. In order to get the app on my desktop, I’ll have to pay for the app again..? No. Again, this app has better features than other apps, but I don’t know if it’s worth $35.

Thank you for your feedback! The desktop application is out of sale. We will forward your wish to improve the address line to the developers. Have a nice day,ABBYY Mobile

Best one I’ve tried. Rather pay up front than monthly fees like most
12/17/2019

Best one I’ve tried, probably 10 a year ago. Ones that are free are like a trail or limit how many you can have. Others are monthly fees so you will spend this much within a year. It’s been the most accurate but has hard time recognizing some cards with designs, odd print or busy cards. On simple cards it’s great, made me think of how I want my business card, plus I can send my business card instead of carrying tons of them. I do check every card after entering because there are sometimes mistakes so make that a habit but always can go back and do that later. Some small business owners appreciate you just scanning their card and handing it back saves money and paper. If people that use send error reports it will help them better the product. They make updates quite frequently. I’ve got a few people on this. Y’all should give me a referral fee or have a program or something to get people on board. Also a way to import from other programs, though I haven’t checked it out much. Maybe update with more custom features to make more personal or let people keep default. I look forward to other products. And I don’t leave reviews often, having 1000’s of apps and 10 or so devices personally. Thank you for making my life easier for card reader

Fantastic App 268 contacts!!!!!

I volunteer with many groups. I also have a business and friends from different groups. This app is the only way I can keep all my contacts in one place but divided among the various groups where I know them! Of all the apps I've ever owned, this has to be my all time favorite! This also makes life so easy when I upgrade my cell phone and need to move my contacts over!
