Pros and cons of WorldCard Mobile Lite app for iPhone and iPad

WorldCard Mobile Lite app good for

It works perfect. I use both, the Chinese/English version and the international one. It convinced me and I paid the money for the full license. >95% of the data ate read and assigned correctly.
Scanned several cards and worked great. I would be happy to have it for free...
Before buying, I tried this Lite version. It works great. Thinking.....
Im sales, everyday I have got many businesscard Its very help me for manage my cusyomers
This F/W is very help me to know many customers Its also very friendly to use....good
Been searching all morning and this app is the best for card organization. Only had to make minor edits after transcription, most likely due to some of the cards being worn. I have the free app and its awesome. I wouldnt hesitate to buy the pay app if I need to for any reason.

Some bad moments

Does this use your iPhone contact list or does it have its own directory?
I downloaded this free version to trial the app and, although it says it is compatible with iPad 2... it will not load as it is saying it is NOT compatible. This is very disappointing as it is exactly what I am looking for to organize my business cards.
First scan failed. Not good intro at all. I tried CamCard Lite and WAY superior.
I work in a multilingual business. If I cant scan accented characters, then it is pointless to use the app. First card was mine and the accents in my name and city name were not recognized properly after 3 attempts. Also, there is not way to scrap the OCR and retake the picture - the app forces to correct and export the data.
Either the app doesnt work at all or there needs to be better documentation. I took a photo of a card + got nothing but a photo. Had to enter all the info manually. What is the point of that. Plus the app requests access to my contacts so I suppose it could be spamming everyone whole I type this?! Dont bother with this or the paid app IMO
I used a paid app of WorldCard for many years and it was doing great... until they send this last update. Now a photo does not scan a third of the info leaving you to enter the rest manually. The new design is confusing, not easy to use, miss few basic keys to make it easier to operate. Sorry but after many years of faithful use, I might have to divorce with this app. Sad to have ruined a good app!
