WorldCard Mobile Lite App Reviews

The best app for business cards capturing and recognizing Ive ever used. Really functional, simple and clever. And Russian language recognition!

This app helps me!

This app does exactly what you would want it to do.

Like the OCR app.

Wish it would work for me, but couldnt even open the app without it crashing. Disappointed. Delete.

The free version gives you five card to read. What they dont say is that it really is five tries. After trying and erasing I never got the program to read any cards correctly. All field were blank so I might have as well entered everything by hand. I never saved any contacts and after my fifth attempt of trying to get it to work, the app would not allow anymore tries. If I cant get the demo to work, I certainly will not buy this app.

Crashes upon opening. As soon as you select “Don’t Allow” to read my contacts, it closes.

Crashes in iOS8.

This app passes all expectations I thought it would misspell or even mislabel the info I know if there is bad quality photos it will not work correctly but still Im possibly gonna buy the full app if my friend doses not get it first lol

Just a very limited lite version. Deleted immediately. They should specify this in the description.

Sadly, and although it is actively developed, the app has not kept up with the latest versions of iOS. Im thinking mostly of how the app looks (stuck in iOS 5 land), but improved sharing (SMS, AirDrop, and expanded email options) would also be nice. The app could really use a visual overhaul and an improvement in user experience.

It cannot recognize a single correctly...just use evernote! Deleted it

App works well at recognizing cards. Light version only allows five cards the first week and only one card every week after that. Clearly just a test-run version. Still, functionally it worked well and was easy to use.

The interface is dated. Worse, it doesnt save contacts directly to iPhone contacts. You have to opt in each time you scan a card. This app wants to build a contact book inside the app, which is worthless.

Ive tried some card readers in the past and have been disappointed in their performance. I stumbled upon this app and thought I would give it a try. I am VERY impressed with this app and its performance. Ive scanned five cards in with little problems, some of them made with very difficult fonts/colors. One was almost completely done with an italicized font in a small size. The app had a little problem with the "f"s that were designed to drop below the line like a "j", but the remainder was spot on. Another was a graphics heavy card on black, shiny background with terribly small font (even difficult for me to read). This program handled that spectacularly. It picked up all of the text and entered it correctly in the correct fields. That really surprised me given how difficult it was to read. Another was one that had been beaten up, with some random small marks over the persons title and web site address. With that damage, I was expecting a lot of gibberish in those fields. This card data was entered in perfectly except for those few obscured letters, which were simply removed & a space in their place. Convenient for me to fix it. When you take a photo, you have the option of using the flash and adjusting the exposure a bit. What I really like about this is the fact that it automatically scans the card and trims out the excess, then cleans up the image a bit. I hate doing all of that, it wastes my time. This app maintains a contact list, much like the installed phone app. However, it displays a small image of the card in the list for easy viewing. On the contacts page, you can snap a photo of the person to include in the information. You can sync these contacts up with your phone app, either individually as you enter a contact or globally via the settings. This app even grabs your various contact groups and allows you to set that data. If the app finds a duplicate entry (youve already entered the card or entered partial information in your phone app) it gives you the option to merge the new information into the old, which is a very nice feature to prevent duplicate entries. Since there is no option for a card image in the native phone app, the card image doesnt save there, making it unavailable to a more powerful contact manager app you may be using (like I am). WorldCard allows you to either save the card photos in the app or on the camera roll. Using the camera roll option allows me to import the card image into my CM app. I then delete it off the camera roll to save space. Head shots do export with the info and are viewed as usual in the native app & my CM app. I presume this will import contacts via a QR code. There is a button, but I didnt have one to test. Im presuming the "Signature" option on the home screen allows you to take a photo of someones signature to include in their file. I cant test that as Ive reached my five card limit for the trial version and can now only do one card a week. I dont get cards very often, so purchasing the full version is not worth the money for me right now. Ill probably stick with this lite version and simply enter the remaining cards once a week. However, when I next go to a convention, I will definitely be buying the full version of this app. Its well worth the money for fast, accurate entry.

Definitely my favorite app, unfortunately it was the only app that didnt transfer data when my iOS updated! Any advice?

Free - and useless too. No real opportunity to see if it is worth paying $7 for the real thing. One card per week for the free version (and that card didnt scan well).

I thought it would be pretty simple to find an app that scans a business card and puts it into your contacts. After trying 4 others that dos a terrible job in reading the simplest of cards I finally found this one. It works!

The Lite version only allows you to export 1 recognized data per week. If you want to upload more, you have to buy the full version.

Cant understand aim of this app
