ScanBizCards

I have used this app 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 this app 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 this app 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 love this app because it scans the card and does a good job of translating most of the time. Not only do I not need to spend time organizing my business cards and trying to remember why I kept them, but it also allows me to bring them with me wherever I go. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to tell a friend or colleague about a contact, but had to get back to them, because my card case was at home. Also, it allows you to add notes, so you can remember why you felt the importance of keeping a particular card and this has become a useful tool for personal contacts just as it is for business contacts. Went to an important dinner recently and they were three different people whose names I could not remember. I knew which company they work for and so I pulled out my handy-dandy phone and got their names in a minute.
