ScanBizCards Reviews

All it does is take a picture of the business card. I can do that for free with my camera. I paid $.99 for ScanBizCards and it only scans and transcribes two cards before you run out of credits and have to buy more. Why would I only want to scan two business cards per month? If I still have to manually type in all the information myself, why would I need ScanBizCards? I would like a refund and I would like to warn others before they waste time and money downloading ScanBizCards. Should be renamed as ScamBizCards

A one star rating is extremely high for ScanBizCards. I installed ScanBizCards a month or so ago so that I could easily scan in business cards in my phone without having to scan them on Dymo CardScan device. The problem showed up after doing a about 120 cards and attempting to sync with my contacts. ScanBizCards took anything that was already in my database and randomly linked them adding email addresses to totally unrelated contacts as well as phone numbers. So, I have been going through my 800+ contacts and deleting the unrelated details for each contact. I suppose it would be easier to just delete everything and start over using the Dymo card scanner.

It does a decent job of reading the card but many times could not understand the company’s name because the name was in the logo and not just basic font type. In less it’s hidden in a setting somewhere it won’t allow you to add the new card to a specific folder. You have to go in and manually and change the folder after adding a new card. A great feature would be to open a folder and add a new card from within that folder so it goes directly to that folder. I will look for an app with features and options that better suite what I would like.

I paid because it said it could export to salesforce. Because my salesforce has required fields to save contact info such as a sale type it will not let me export. ScanBizCards does an ok job of deciphering the info on a card and putting it into the correct places I’d say about 60%. I don’t mind editing it a little, but I’m not sure it saves me any time. Pretty much useless to me if I can’t export to salesforce. I think maybe I’d just prefer a photo Rolodex.

I realized when I tried to take a pic of a business card it didn't readily snap the photo and crop just the card. My bank's check reader does this why not a business card reader.

Secondly, these are business cards why when it appears as a contact (not yet input to your personal contact list) highlight/bold the name of the business instead of the person. I deal with multiple people from the same business. It would be helpful to list all people associated with a business instead of having to search for someone.

It doesn’t seem to separate multiple phone numbers when on same line and tends to double send contacts to address book by default...if you don’t filter new scanned cards first, before telling to send to iPhone address book, that needs improvement.

This morning I was not able to resend password for online card syncing and no real help Link is in app! It never sent resent link but said email was valid so I don’t know what’s up.

I had some business cards that I wanted to throw away but didn’t want to lose the contact info so I downloaded ScanBizCards. I like the idea of keeping all the business cards I have in one app and if I want I can export it into my contacts. The problem is I scanned 3 different business cards and all 3 I had to edit. It would put the name of the person into the wrong field. Had the address wrong in the one and had the phone number wrong in the other. If you could get it to scan all the correct info into the correct fields it would be perfect. I’m going to keep ScanBizCards because I like the way it organizes it. I just didn’t want to edit every business card, but oh well.

I love ScanBizCards and the concept. Huge time saver. That is, if it would only capture the information actually. I would say 0% of the cards scans have loaded without mistakes. It is still often faster to correct a few problems then enter 100% of the info from scratch but if you are not careful it almost always has an error or two, or 3. There has been a couple that if not corrected and saved that would have caused either a problem or worse.
Again, great app and great concept. I hope they continue to improve and send me updates. If it helps to know, I am using an IPhone 6S-P so the camera is good and not the issue.

This is an update to a previous review.
After my comments, the developer quickly addressed and (as far as I can tell) has completely fixed the problems I was having. ScanBizCards works well for me now, like it did before. The fix was fast and effective. Thank you.

Original Review:

I’ve had the program a while, and bought the pro version. Within the last year, it has become worse. It does not recognize things on cards that it had no problem recognizing previously. At one time, there would be one or two typos in the transfer. Now I’m retyping most of the card. I don’t know why this is, but it’s disappointing and ScanBizCards is really no longer helpful.

I thought it didn’t work but tech support told me my default settings needed to be changed and now it works perfectly. But if you want to scan biz cards and have them go to your Contacts you have to disable Quick Scan, which seems counter-intuitive.

I stopped looking for a business card scanner after I got ScanBizCards. Works well on
business cards. I like that it suggests company names for contacts that are similar. I even use it to scan signature lines on emails off my monitor screen. Needs occasional editing. Overall very accurate. I’m very satisfied. Highly recommend.

My logon email address changed. Normally not a big problem but my email address was ~8 years old and many changes and improvements were made in the interim. Customer support quickly gave me a very clear and thorough procedure to fix the problem. Very nice to see a company manage the little things in such a professional manner.

I have used ScanBizCards for almost a decade, and it is terrific! When it first came out, there were minor issues, especially with OCR, but the developers were actively interested in learning about those issues so they could improve their product. They have actively and continuously engaged with their users to refine their product, and now, they have one of the best business card scanner — eRoladex — I have ever seen! Having been a user over the past few years, I have definitely seen ScanBizCards evolve into one of the most powerful and useful tools on my iPhone. This is a must have app for mobile professionals. 👍🏻👍🏻

Like you, I got tired of keeping cards and selecting which ones to put in my phone and which ones to add to the 1990’s Rolodex that I still use. I did some research and selected ScanBizCards to buy. My mistake. It wouldn’t synch with my work Exchange account and I kept getting an error message. I sent an email and they asked for the email address associated with the account. Huh? It’s the one I emailed you from but whatever. I responded immediately and didn’t hear anything back. I sent another email and ..... nothing. Save your money. Pick another app.

Update. I’m an idiot. I was incorrectly trying to pair it with a non-existent account. They called and walked me through the process. Well done.

I’ve been using ScanBizCards for several years. Recently I had a problem accessing a backup due to migrating to a new phone. I sent one email asking for help and they replied quickly. Not only did this resolve my issue, but they checked back to make sure all was well.

If I had to choose between an excellent app with mediocre customer care or a mediocre app with excellent customer care, I’d choose the latter. But in this case, both are excellent.

I have been using ScanBizCards to scan and store business cards. This is a great tool the not only scans business cards but also enables a quick addition to the contacts app. Works great and I never experienced any issue. There has been a change in the interface that moved a button to access your cards to below the home screen view. I reached out to the developer support and received a prompt response regarding finding this button. Very much appreciated .
Highly recommended app

After, finally throwing in my “tough guy” towel in my life I finally started to get things organized in my business and personal life.

One of those things I needed to organize, was the insane amount of business cards I had. Getting something like this has been on my stubborn mind for almost 5 years! Way too long. Now that I have ScanBizCards and have seen it in action I now don’t have to worry about ever saying to someone I failed to reach back out to, “Hey! So sorry I didn’t reach out to you all those years ago! I lost your business card that you gave me at that conference/cafe/etc.”

The 3$. I’m a business owner so every penny counts but I also understand that I need to spend money to make money.

Worth it.

If you’re a serious business owner or someone who is just in business, this is a necessity, not an option, in my opinion.

These guys who made ScanBizCards, made it happen, so you can make it happen, out in the chaotic business world.

Thank you to the developers and anyone else who was a part in the creation of ScanBizCards.

Bless up!🛫

I seem to gravitate to just a few characteristics when evaluating Apps of any kind: ease of download and setup, intuitiveness, ease of integration with other Apps, plainly stated directions (DEVELOPMENT TIP for APP developers-check your spelling, grammar, and properly formatted sentences),--this is not meant as a criticism of Apps from other countries; but if your description and directions are not written in plain English you may as well just watch movies rather than waste your and your customers time.
BIZ CARDS meets all of these criteria. Love its ease of use, despite being a relatively complex program with tremendous and straightforward integration with other APPS and the iPhone programming. Congratulations on a great piece of work.

I really like ScanBizCards. As a retired business man I would of really used it back in the day. We travel frequently and pick up cards from businesses and people we meet. I like the ability to make folders that allow me to quickly find a card related to where/why I have it. Keeping these folders separate from my contacts is exactly what I need.
I recommend ScanBizCards to everyone. The scanning is great and very effective.
I started with the Free Edition and became familiar with the uses and quickly decided to upgrade to Pro Edition.
I needed a little help to transfer cards from free to Pro Edition. I contacted Customer Service and received immediate response and follow up. Great App Company.

Has to be the best and easiest way to keep up with contacts that are important to you! No longer have to keep up with cards, just scan and boom it’s in address book and you have a pic of the card whenever you need it. Plus the ability to send any card to someone via text or email!! Absolutely can’t live without it!
