What users complain about in ScanBizCards

Not great

Good for at least capturing photos of cards and keeping them in one place. Bad at extracting information from them. I have to constantly edit them and that’s not something I wanted to spend time doing.

Using data for contacts

Adding the data to the contacts in the iPhone is very poor.

Scam, subscription required after app bought

I paid (albeit small amount of money) but paid nonetheless. But still the app required subscription for transcription of business card pic. Total scam !!!!!

Misleading features.

they don’t mention that to actually digitize the information on your business cards and export it to excel/outlook etc is going to cost you hundreds of dollars in “transcription credits”. Like i know you need money, but this is low..

Cats Editing dilemma

Manually editing the card is difficult because the text frame disappears behind the photo whenever you go into edit mode

Not working

Not working with iPhone 17 Pro Max. When I try to use the camera it crashes. What a waste of money.

Edit fields are a nightmare

App works pretty well, however, it doesn’t scan correctly and manual editing is required on 9 out of 10 scans. The picture overlays the field you try to edit and it’s a freaking nightmare to edit the info. According to Grok, this has been an issue for over 10 years. Get it fixed guys.

Buggy

Save to address book (more than one at a time) doesn't work. Buggy. Crashes. Camera functionality buggy.

Scam. Couldn't even create a password. Do not purchase.

Just use CamCard. It wouldn't let me create a password no matter how hard I tried. So terrible. It's a scam to get your $.99, and I bet with scale of people that are duped it pays them well!

USELESS APP -SCAM- Any Camera takes better pucture than this app.

It is only $0.99 and it is a SCAM . It does not scan biz card but takes a photo if thats what you mean by scan. I bought it and took a photo of a biz card but no transcribing. Tried to contact support or read about it and there is no support or website. So you are dead by payong $.99 You might as well die in a car accident for free.

Since 9.9.3 update it stopped working

Dice it auto updated to 9.9.3 it stopped working . App crash every 2 minutes even after updating to 9.9.9 still crash every 1 minute

Scam

After install you are asked to create another account. Why can’t it just work?

Paid for app but can only scan 2 cards before having to pay more!

All it does is take a picture of the business card. I can do that for free with my camera. I paid $.99 for this app 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 this app? I would like a refund and I would like to warn others before they waste time and money downloading this app. Should be renamed as ScamBizCards

What happened to you?

Bought this program along time ago worked great unloaded it onto a new phone with the new update and hasn’t worked right asking me for credits won’t let me scan. What did you do wrong?

No OCR??

There is no obvious way to use OCR instead of relying on human transcription (which costs money, for obvious reasons). I bought this app to use OCR, and it’s description talks about OCR, but it either lacks that functionality or it’s very hidden.

Inaccurate

I just purchased and imported seven cards. Each card imported incorrectly and had to be manually adjusted.

Works like hell

When I bought it at first everything was working acceptably. The OCR was far from being perfect but acceptable. Then subscription feature appears. My god. OCR works like hell. Croping tool is so hard to use. When you manually enter a phone number it’s ompossible to put dots or dashes. Hard time to return to normal views after using the magnifying glass. It’s not hard to find a better apps then that. I really regret my investment.

Crap App

Don’t waste your money on this please. It doesn’t transcribe the scans information well at all. I don’t want to subscribe to their online services. I think it was a waste of my money

Terrible OCR

You have to correct most things

I want my $.99 back

Useless, couldn’t read one single business card correctly. Cost a lot more time than I expected. I may as well record them manually with typing myself. I want my money back

Easier to just enter the contact

No card I tried was scanned properly. If I need to go in and edit every field I’ll just enter new contact. I downloaded and deleted the app within minutes.

Hard to use and doesn’t work

Hard to use and I have to manually fix all the entries. It doesn’t go into my contacts on Apple. Waste of time and money. No support. Save your money.

Hot Mess

Spent a couple hours put 10 business cards in. Half of the info captured was erroneous, some entries never showed up anywhere, and the rest weren’t under the correct letter. This app is a hot mess and waste of time. Uninstalling!

Garbage

Doesn’t work like it should. There should be a trial first.

Garbage

This app is complete garbage you can never spell anything out properly and it takes forever to scan doesn’t work well on my new iPhone or my old iPhone I wish I would’ve spent more money and got a better app because this one is a total waste of time

Do Not Purchase

This product is terrible! Doesn’t scan half of what I scan. Very frustrating. Would like my money back.

Useful app, but be warned

This is a useful app, but don’t use it without backing it up to your cloud. I upgraded iPhones several times, but when I upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro, the app reset and dumped all of my contacts. Years of stored cards are now gone. Support just said sorry. No solutions. I’d avoid it and find a more reliable app.

Disappointed

App does not recognize the borders at all. Very basic. Waste of money!

It’s ok... room to improve

Just downloaded the app and scanned the first 10 cards. Each one had to be manually corrected. Errors varies from titles, to combining last names, dropping letters, to jibberish. OCR has room for improvement.

Ripped off

Installed and trialed lite version. Liked it so clicked upgrade to full version and paid for app. Then needed to reinstall, so I down loaded the full version instead of the lite version and it charged me again. Rip off!!

Corrections required

After the latest update, the program is inserting spaces characters and number recognition is very poor

Bad

I had purchased this software long ago with all features and now they have changed so that I can no longer use it in a way I used to. It asks me to buy credits.

Does not work

Bought the pro version and transcription stopped working. Now takes 2 days for someone to do it

Disappointed

I just bought this app. Scanned a few cards and most of information from the card was incorrect. If I have to make numerous corrections with names, titles and contact numbers, what is the point of the app? I should have saved the money and type out the information myself. This app should not claim to accurately populate fields if it’s not capable of that function.

Doesn’t really work

The text conversation is quite poor, I generally spend more time correcting the errors than it would have taken to just input manually. In some ways it’s not all their fault more indicative of the fonts and colour combinations used on business cards.

Poor transition of information

Tried this app, it can't seem to properly duplicate the text on cards. Populates data into the contact fields incorrectly with spelling and caps errors. Sometimes misses the states in the address, especially with my contacts from out of the country. It can't seem to understand accents over certain letters of names so it completely butchers it, or international addresses that don't have the same format as US address. I have to edit almost every field. Waste of time.

Beware!

I spent a few days scanning, cropping and organizing 250 cards, then when I backed up to WebSync and synced another device, all cards disappeared on all devices and backup... I'm done with this!

Unfortunately the worst ocr I've tried

Had high hopes for this one, have tried many, ScanBizCards however has gotten just about every line wrong in multiple tries. Tried lite version as well with same result. Love the LinkedIn feature of it worked correctly.

Horrible transcription!

If you write the information myself would be more productive!! Its transcription filled with nonsense and errors and if you chose to re transcript, it will ask you to register and download another app from their products which you will have to buy credits to use it!!! Also why in earth I will sync my contact with their server if I have my iCloud or google contacts! $0.99 for this app is not considered but in this case it is really waste!

Does less than mediocre job at what it says it's gonna do

Works okay, I haven't scanned a card that I haven't needed to edit yet. Also, I wish it had an Outlook contact upload function. But a man can only dream...
