Business Card Scanner Reviews

It is my opinion that BusinessCardScanner has critical issues with backup. It simply does not work. We evaluated this application by scanning over 30 cards in and then attempted to restore the data on Anne IPhone. Not only was it lost forever but customer support took over three weeks to reply with the correct procedure to back up the satay. At first they simply said it was lost. This defect is so critical that I can not believe that it is still on the market. My advice is to stay away from all of their applications. If they can’t get a backup right and provide the most basic customer support, the rest of the engineering can not be trusted. We are choosing another vendor.

Had been my go to app for contacts for a year+ but now when I scan cards, I no longer have the option to add contact and the pic doesn’t save. Not sure it it’s an app version or recent IOS update but no longer usable (I tried deleting and reinstalling).

Tried app support but it just takes me to FAQs that don’t address the issue.

Hope it gets fixed as I paid for premium.

Exporting a card to Contacts puts entire address on one line on Street field, requiring copy and paste to fix each card which is a pain. Backup is buggy; I just turned on backup and the result was a message saying 11 cards backed up but in fact 10 were deleted. All in all, the search for a really good card scanner continues; this is not it.

What about the back of the card? I don’t see a way to add that.
Also I don’t see a way to add the picture when it only takes half the card because half the cards a picture I’m not sure

I’ve only scanned one card so far but BusinessCardScanner ’s done pretty well. I’d like to see the ability to crop the image of the card after it’s initially been accepted. The crop view that appears right after you take the picture is too small to be able to tell where you want the crop lines to be. The card view that appears on the subsequent editing page is bigger (and tapping the picture gives you a still bigger view that would be perfect to crop in) but you can’t crop in either of these views.

Other than that BusinessCardScanner seems to work well so far. Further bulletins as events warrant. 😬

I like BusinessCardScanner; it let me scan a large number of cards quickly so I don’t wind up carrying them. Highly useful. But it would be significantly improved if it automatically alphabetized the cards so I could find the one I need quickly.

I personally think BusinessCardScanner solves one of the problems our team was looking for. However, has development thought about being able group contacts together and only export certain contacts to excel list. for example I am attending a trade show, scan about 20 cards and then be able to group off those 20 cards into a folder type within BusinessCardScanner ? This feature would solve the last problem we have.

Easy to up load using camera. Categorizes info. Edit if desired, and save all info into phone contacts.

You can upload the list to a spread sheet and not all the apps can do this!
The price is worth it

I just downloaded BusinessCardScanner and it is the best card reader I have used thus far! I haven’t had to manually fix one yet!

Just started using the free version of Covve. Very helpful. Planning to upgrade to Covve Pro as the features offered will greatly enhance my customer contact efforts.

Scanning is highly accurate, export to Contacts works well, but

- Doesn’t always pick up first names correctly, esp if title like Mr. or Dr. ? Problem with “.”
- ability to scan front and back would be nice
- Tag feature is ..well.. of limited value if it is not possible to group contacts with or sort by
- In Addison to sorting/ grouping by tags, sort by name, last name is needed.

Still outshines most of the competition however.

BusinessCardScanner has the most accurate scanning of all I’ve tried.
Just perfect, almost instant scanning and building my CRM so perfectly.

I never review software but this is really good. I also basically never pay for software and this was well worth the price

Just back from a large conference with where we collected over 200 business cards.

We have used CamCard for years. Really disliked all of the manual corrections from the scan, even after trying several retry’s

This solution worked from the first time with no corrections needed-it was amazing!

I was skeptical on this as I have not had any good luck from other apps like this one. Always poor UI and nothing ever was translated correctly or at all. Minor mistakes on this one but we’ll worth purchasing beyond the freebies.

Covve business card scanner puts the information into the correct category most times.

Simple editing corrects the information for scans of more graphic cards with unique fonts or color combinations.

BusinessCardScanner seems to be functioning how I would like it to. I have only scanned 5 cards in but I see that it has the export to .csv feature that I like. Not sure if my business cards are kept private though. I would hope so.

After a conference, I used to postpone as much as possible to sit down and type up all the contacts from paper business cards to my phone. Now, I can scan, correct and save in a minute. This is GREAT!

Easy to use
