…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
Wastes timeManual workScanBizCards — Do Not Purchase This product is terrible! Doesn’t scan half of what I scan. Very frustrating. Would like my money back.
Strong complaintFrustrated…p Every time you all update this it becomes a useless piece of crap. Your customer service is awful and I want my money back.
Strong complaint…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
Manual workScanBizCards — 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…
