If I could give zero stars I would. Several attempts to scan a card failed. Changed lighting, no difference. They had a version a few years ago where you lined up the card with an outline and when it was just right, snap! Picture taken and it saw everything. I mean EVERYTHING. No editing required but, they changed it and now it's horrible. Well took the developers advise and it's still horrible. 5 times I snapped an image and each time got a message "poor scan". Don't waste you time.
I liked the old version of scanbizcards better because when you added a contact to your phone, it gave you a button on the bottom of the screen to automatically scan the business card and then automatically populated the fields. With this version, you have to open the app and then export the information to your contacts. Not as convenient.
OCR is challenging. You need to really check the data. I used to use their advertised capability of importing through the clipboard but that feature has been deprecated (even though it's still in the product description). Without the ability to import through clipboard or manually create a new entry which would allow me to cut and paste myself, the app is largely useless for me with digital contacts.
The app is great. I have only one concern though. I want to assign a scanned card to custom created folders right after I scan them. What I do now is scan a card, then save it, then go to Total Contacts and search for the newly scanned card to assign it to a folder. It's frustrating specially when you have lots of scanned cards. Why not having the folder assignment option right after scanning a card?
This app is pretty bad and very fussy (same experience on iPhone), but it's sadly the best business card scanner I've used and I've tried at least five others in the last year. If a company could make an actual good card scanning app, they could crush it. Edit: I'm floored that this app has as high of a rating as it does! The older versions must have been pretty good. That's the only way I can rationalize it.
We have to manage contacts from different regions and most apps we've used have been disappointing. This one is by far the best with European languages and this has saved us hours and hours of work. Scanning is mostly accurate but we get hundreds of cards transcribed using the paid service so we've never really had any complaints with the accuracy.
This app has been so VERY helpful. I never have to worry about losing business card/ phone number information. And this is the free part of the app. If I had tons of bus cards Id add the 99cents to have info added to my contacts. Some of the reviews state the pictures don't always come out suoer great (I couldn't get the crop functionto work), perhaps they are working on that, BUT I'm not complaining- it's FREE Thankyou!!
What is the point of scanning and saving a business card if you can't even just save it in your phone contacts, without having the upgrade. This app was a waste of my time. Plus the fields typed in the form were all wrong.
Great customer service. These people went out of their way to follow up on several emails that would not go through for some reason. I finally got a call from them and they helped me restore my stored cards from several years ago. The app is great because it makes the organization of the business cards very easy and accessible online from anywhere. If you're looking for a business card app look no further. This company has been doing business card apps since the beginning.
Tried to use it for about 10-15 minutes. Couldn't understand if it wanted me to pay for OCR. I took a poor picture and wanted to delete the card. It was "in queue" and I could not remove it. It was second in queue. Nothing seemed to be moving or advancing. The top of the page said "0 credit" so I guess it wanted me to buy credits. STOP TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT YOU WANT ME TO PAY TO USE YOUR AP.
I had this app on my old phone and really liked it. However the app did not transfer over to my new phone for some unknown reason. Now when I tried to reinstall it it requires access to my entire contact list. I just want to store the business cards in a separate file so there's no need to have access to my contacts.
Scans cards and add them to my contacts ok, but the crop feature doesn't work at all. Can't crop it to just the business card. Your stuck with whatever is in the picture behind it as well. Very annoying. Wish I wouldn't have purchased the pro version after trying the lite. Disappointed
I not happy the this app. after I upgraded my phone and tried to reinstall the application, but it's not working like the previous version. It not reading the cards sinking to my contact. This is very troubling. Is there any way to restore the original features.
Please allow 1. Camera to focus at particular area to take cleaner object, also allow to select area of picture being taken 2. Allow contacts to be saved to Google Accounts, not only when first time scanning, but also while editing and also through context menu, at any time 3. Local Backup cannot be created and cloud backup shows error message. Please correct those backup problems
What happened? I am now getting a discontinued warning. I thought this app was purchased, but now doesn't show up in installed apps. I do wish they'd save a photo I could assign the full card to contact picture. Importing/Exporting or cloud saving would be nice to have.
Trying to backup on Google Drive, it keeps giving error messages. Paid for the PRO version twice without any resolution from these guys. I have so many contacts without any way to transfer to new device. Not happy with this app at all. Bad customer care.
Ive used this app for over a year. It was great. snap and info was collected and converted into my address book. After latest upgrade however, everything changed.Now it requires an account and its difficult to set up, and requires a lot of personal info. have to find a new app. too bad.
I gave it a try thinking/hoping it might scan cards and automatically use OCR to create a contact?... But no. Yes you can scan cards but then to create a contact you have to add/type the contact data yourself, rendering it pointless. Someone, somewhere will become very rich when they can use OCR intelligently to simply scan and create a Vcard that merges with your contacts. I am sure it is not beyond the wit of programmers out there.
Customer service is awful. Using this app has taken many hours and the expert options they say exist aren't showing up. I contacted them via their support center only to get a copy and paste of the instructions from their website which does not address the problem a day later. There is no way to call them. So angry I used this app and now I'm so far behind.
Unable to access crop features. Also, captured image does not fill the frame as alone others. Even paid for the premium version and im still gonna dump it
The old version was fantastic and a game changer. This one is a total waste. And Snapbizcards team, stop posting the same useless message over and over and rather change this to what it was before!
Loved the original totally FREE app because it not only stored cards but also put info into contact list/address book. However, company is now greedy and charges for version with capability to add to address book.
With note 10 plus it is exhausting. I have been trying for three day that CONTACTS could show SCAN BUSINESS CARD field at the end while creating new contact but it is not appearing. I did same in note5 set and it was good. I wonder Samsung had removed this option in note 10 plus.
1. Poor capture of the business card. The data scanned from the visiting card was not at all matching what was on the card. 2. Also I changed my phone and reinstalled the app with my same ID and none of the old cards are showing even though they are there in the new phone.
Scanned the first business card, had to help the OCR a bit, but overall a smooth process. Added the results to my Google Contacts successfully. So far, so good for this free business card scanner.
I loved this app until suddenly you want me to upgrade to the paid version to export the contacts to my phones contact list. Now it's useless to me if I have to enter all the info from a new contact to my contacts myself.
I loved using this app until it changed. I was a HUGE proponent and talked it up to all of my colleagues and business associates for years. Now I feel exactly the opposite and will look for another program.
I installed to share information between this tablet - Android, windows & iphone. I should have did my research before I entered a million cards on my phone. I would have never though there wouldn't be any integration between different platforms (very common today with web based platforms). If you do not need to see do this, this app is great! But eventually you will. I hope this app ends up with this capability at one point, I would pay more than the (pro) upgrade for this. 1/11/22 I have to come back and correct my rating. After I received a response to my problem, I was told that it is possible to export if I go to my computer rather than my iPhone. On their site, I am able to export in several formats as well as other things I was not aware of. This is a game changer for me. I am not exporting to apply to another password app, but wanting a list I can modify to review my entries easier than one at a time on my phone. Thank you support team! This app is way better than I thought!
