    Several years back it was great! For the past several years the half dozen times I’ve tried using the capture card feature it doesn’t work at all! Capture the picture then scans like always but then when it show contact there’s no numbers no name just some gibberish crap in a few of the space where name number and things like that should be! Not sure how something that worked so well at one time could be so bad now!

    It is not working well with my new iPhone 10. It will not put the info in my contacts list when completely edited. This was one of my favorite Apps. Not after losing several contacts, only to find the were in the app., but wouldn’t transfer to the contact list.

    But what is. Have the Pro version for several years. All upgrades occurred without incident and without me knowing it. New phones were never an issue. It will accurately scan and decipher most cards (maybe 80%). Cards that are colorful with exotic fonts or unconventional in some form or fashion will not scan properly. Loved the app until now. Recently something has changed that has given me reason to research alternative products. When I scan a card it will place it into my contacts (IPhone/Outlook). Within seconds that contact will be on my main server and I can see it in MS Outlook on my PC. At least it used too. Now, it will scan and place it in my IPhone contacts and I can access when composing a new email or text however it will not upload(sync) with my server. If I manually create a contact on my phone it will sync with my server. If I create a contact on my PC it will sync with my phone. Only contacts created with BCR will not sync. What changed? This issue is now a deal breaker and renders this app essentially useless to me. If I didn’t need to sync with a PC then I would give it 5 stars.

    This app some serious bug. It has deleted some of my contacts! Vector to replicate the issue Have a contact with a specific string ie “xyz” now scan a card where the string is in either name filed or company field. The older contact data gets wiped out. I have seen this in 3 cases.

  • Poor text recognition

    Consistently mistakens 6 for 0. Also does not export to Evernote in the ‘business card’ format native to Evernote. Instead it just creates a regular not. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying

    It uploads business cards - don't know about the frills but the app accurately imports info from business card
  • Great App with hard to find features

    One of the great features is the ability to see where the ODR is reading from. As an example, it reads the phone number and puts in what the OCR thinks it is. When you click within the phone field a small window of the image displays the exact character it is "reading" as a 9 (or whatever).
