CamCard:Digital Business Card Reviews

Just started using this card reader today so I haven’t tried searching for business cards or any of that but adding them was pretty easy UNTIL I went to add one but was apparently on my profile instead of the card scan section. I accidentally added someone else’s business card where mine should be. Simple enough fix, right? Delete it. Except NO! The “default card cannot be deleted” so I can’t delete that card until I’ve added a new one and I don’t have a business card! So now it seems I’m stuck with someone else’s information where mine should be!
I can somewhat understand why this safety would exist, so ppl don’t accidentally delete their information, but wouldn’t they have a copy of their own business card? Isn’t it more likely someone would need to completely delete their information from their profile than they’d erase it and not recall any of their info or be able to easily retake the photo of, again, their OWN business card???
This has been frustrating, I can’t edit section by section, I can’t delete, this is annoying. If ANYONE knows of a fix plz help.
But yeah, 3 stars anyway because I like what I was experiencing prior to this issue but I haven’t used it long enough to rate it any higher plus this silly problem is beyond frustrating!

CamCard has been sooo handy for me. I love everything about. The fact that it dates when you received someone’s card, groups that you can make to bundle cards that were all received in one location, the ability to write notes on each card, the ability to search key words or locations or dates to locate a card. And he fact that it’s free is awesome. The ONLY little problem is, and it can not be blamed on CamCard at all, is that it sometimes is not able to read information off of a card correctly. I’ve seen this happen only with unique custom designed cards. I am CONSTANTLY telling people, anyone who will listen, about how awesome CamCard is and everyone is very appreciative of learning about it.

Excellent speed and accuracy! Transfers faster and more accurate than and if using the business platform you can set up an automatic sync from all subordinates devices which will allow you to absorb their contact info yet not transfer your own. CamCard not only ends wasted time and mistakes in the data entry but holds the original picture of the business card, including both sides. CamCard also confuses to sync the contacts within to your devices contact... therefore if CamCard were to have a catastrophic failure your data is still in your devices. So as long as you back up your device regularly it will always be in your device backup! Can’t say enough about the ease of use and accuracy.

I have looked at MANY business card organizational apps and this app is by FAR the best I have ever found. It is much more accurate than other card scanners and it is very easy to edit any thing that doesn't scan correctly. In addition, it's user interface is VERY user friendly. The you can email or make a phone call to someone with the simple touch of their address or phone number. It is VERY customizable! I love that it allows you to have a picture of the business card, along with a name and their business, in the index. CamCard is free....but I would have gladly paid for CamCard (I DON'T meant to plant any ideas in the developer's head!). As SOLID 5-Star rating!!

Been using for two years but just noticed a bug. I cannot share a contact from iPhone contact list if it is originally created in this app. It will send in iMessage or email and the receiver can open it, but when they click create new contact from the options, nothing happens and it doesn’t show into their contact list. Only happens on contacts created through CamCard , the ones created directly in iMessage work just fine. Tried with several people with different versions on iPhone, same results. That means contacts I message to others cannot be saved on their phones. This really needs to be fixed.

I’ve been using this app for over 5 years both professionally and for personal contacts.
It’s a wonderful tool for keeping prospective new business partners and customer leads, managing existing partners/customers, keeping personal notes about all your contacts i.e. anniversaries, important dates, spouses, children, etc., tracking your own personal contacts, i.e. physicians, coaches, teachers, favorite places, etc.
You can also quickly shard your own business card with others from your phone without needing a stack of business cards handy!
It’s GREAT when traveling and at events!!
THANK YOU this app for such an effective organizational contacts management tool 😁

I have had CamCard for a few years and spent a lot of time scanning my cards, taking the pictures and completing the info to where I built a good database of contacts. Recently I have been trying to log in and CamCard would open, I could see the contacts and then it shut down. Unable to do anything... no option to update it or fix the issue so I downloaded the new version (which made no sense to me that there were two coexisting versions of the same app on my iPhone) and deleted the old one assuming that by signing in all my contacts would repopulate. I signed into the new one and all my contacts and hard accumulated database is gone. Not even my profile was copied. Shame on the developers! It almost feels to me like a purposely made attempt at getting people to sign for additional back up and cloud services. I don’t think I will continue using it. Unreliable!!!

The application is just ok. Programmatically no better or worse than others. There are no noticeable bugs. I have been using this application for many years, and not until when you apply fixes, which actually was a upgrade in hiding, was I disappointed. My old basic product had no limits and no subscription fee. I was sad that you drank the cool aid by jumping on board with subscription fees.

Well you can count me out as a customer. I prefer not to go through a shake down. For the non-US teams feel free to look up the idioms. You get only one star, if it could be lower it would. You guys screwed up a pretty good tool.

I rarely write a review of the apps I have but I must write for this one. I found this through a link on Pinterest for professional ladies like myself. I gave it my benefit of doubt. It nearly blew my mind to how effective this is because I usually have a stack of business cards that I haven’t once touched. I am also aiming to be paperless because I can’t tolerate that many papers in my home. This was worth it. I love it! The only beef I have is it looks for the card’s edges when it is already present. With today’s business cards being rounded, maybe this can update to accommodate the MOO cards. Other than that, I love this!

I’ve been using this app reader for a couple of years now and it is an amazing product. Only drawback that I have found with this product is that you have to be in sufficient light in order for you to be able to get the information transferred to your phone. Other than that it is the absolute easiest way that I have found to capture and then put business cards without having to type them manually into my address book. I absolutely love CamCard and would recommend it to anyone.

I had been enjoying CamCard for a long while and now after the apple iOS update is not working. Cannot open the old app to retrieve my cards. I did as CamCard developer suggested on other reviews and downloaded their new version of CamCard . I logged in which was an issue in it self and then it only transferred a few of my cards so I’m still don’t have the rest of them. The new app doesn’t have an ‘import’ function only export. Need to know how to get rest of my business cards. Also the new app has function issues. It has problems responding to my prompts. I’m really disappointed. I guess we’ll never be able to get rid of our paper cards because of this scenario.

I believe that “this app“ is one of the most valuable applications that I have for my iPhone. Not only does it allow me to collect all the cards that people give me, but it allows me a ready resource to be able to recall names, email addresses, and any special comments that I have about people that I’ve met in various meetings. I would highly recommend this application to anyone who wants to try to keep track of all of the context of they’ve made, especially in this day of meeting many people during many types of business applications.

Oh my! A co-worker shared CamCard with me and it has changed my life! I had one of these random projects I needed to complete and had to enter over 200+ business card info into a spreadsheet. I had already entered 121 cards manually into and Excel spreadsheet when my co-worker shared with me that there is a program that does this. To my surprise it worked and served my needs. I scanned about 140 cards and exported it in excel. It cut down the amount of work time I had to spend on my project. Best thing EVER!!!!

This could be a really great application, if the OCR were improved. Be sure to check any cards you scan, don’t scan and pitch the cards. I also like being able to capture the front and back images. Then there is the “But” the developer released a this app HD app for a higher cost, then later decided to stop and switch to a subscription model. Fine if you want to do that, but return the cost for CamCard that disappeared. Also the annual fee is a bit high for features that were originally free, but have since been removed. It looks like there are a number of other similar apps to consider anyway.

Best app to keep your contacts. I’ve been using it for years and has not let me down yet. Yes, the text recognition is not perfect, but it takes just a few edits and its ready for whenever you want to bring up the information. Much better than carrying around a fat wallet full of paper. Also, you can easily share the info once its correctly stored via text or email. Super easy. Great job guys. Almost forgot, cloud based so you have your contacts everywhere!

Nice app. Highly recommend. Saves my wallet from all those seldom used but necessary to have cards (AAA, AARP, medical, Hertz, etc.) Not always perfect data translation but easy enough to modify. I wish it could be added to the iPhone control center. Maybe a future rev (quick access like wallet). There is a widget but already have several widgets there and they are more for quick data review. Getting the premium even though I won’t ever even need more than the free 200. Keep up the good work!

CamCard is great. I scan my business cards each day and it automatically syncs with my contacts on my cell phone. I have two cell phones (personal and work) and having the this app app on both phones allows me to easily access my business contacts quick and easy. My favorite part is when a business contact calls either phone, their name and title show up on my screen. I love this little mini personal assistant in my back pocket.

I don’t know where else to get help but on this review. I’ve had CamCard for around 5 years. I’m in Constuction. I’ve had No problem and enjoy CamCard very much. until I lost my phone. I got a new phone last year and downloaded CamCard . And it only lets me sign in as a new customer. I lost all my hundreds of card to my customers and business contacts. Is it still in the cloud? Or is my life over.

This version is okay. Layout is okay but the HD layout was much(!) preferable. Scanning is fairly easy with this non-HD version. The OCR errors are no worse or better than any other scanner available. As with no many here, I lost a lot of cards when the HD version was no longer supported. Signing into my account doesn’t solve the problem of reloading my list of HD cards. They’re simply gone unless I view them via a browser connection. While not perfect it’s still about the best choice for non-business use but the HD version was definitely the best choice.

I installed CamCard a while back and it seemed okay, although it wouldn’t save the contacts to my iPhone contacts. I didn’t like having them separate but I dealt with it.

I recently went to try to use CamCard and it closes before I can see any information it contains. I went to CamCard Store and I was given the option to get CamCard ... not update, but get. I installed the second copy onto my phone and it didn’t pick up any of the information from my first copy. Both app versions are on my phone but the one that has contacts in it I cannot access, so I’m afraid to put contacts in the new one. I don’t want to lose those, too!

If the developers can’t offer me a solution I’m going to uninstall both of them and just use my camera and my iPhone contacts and forget about the idea of not having to type information in. At least if I type it in I can see it and use it! I can’t even view the contacts in the original app anymore.

Be warned... it happened to me. It could happen to you.

Cards have been bane of my existence.. drudge of entering them always put off then contacts go cold. With this, it’s like new life. 10 seconds. Just put card down, let camera focus and done! All info, even live link to website and touch to email them.. just like that.. on to next card. 1 enjoyable minute watching this thing go and I’m done! On to emailing. A pleasure.
