    That's the best business card reader out there from the ones I've tested. As simple as that.

    Love the app. Really saves time and does a pretty respectable job of character recognition. Wish the interface would allow for notes to be entered for a contact at the point of scanning.

    BCR is one of my all time favorite apps, because it simply does what it says. I frequently download apps, and then delete them immediately, often because they’re overloaded with useless functionality. BCR works great on my iPhone, and I love the cloud option they added, since it is particularly useful for my colleagues. I would also recommend the Salesforce export, if you use Salesforce in your business.
  • Love it!

  • Usability issues

    SHAPE Business Card Reader, has pretty good text recognition, which is not surprising since it uses the ABBYY OCR engine. However, it’s takes too many taps to navigate—for example, foveate share a card. It also (arguably) suffers from skeumorphism. I’d like to see the interface tightened up for better usability, as well as a cropping feature for the card images. In its favor, the app does support integration with LinkedIn, from which you can import and merge selected data with your contacts.
