I Can Recommend This App
I work in a professional setting and I meet with new people once a month within my work life and this application makes it easy to organize and keep everyone’s contacts. I got a new phone and made quick backup within the app on my old phone. When I installed this application to my new phone, I just restored from the backup (needs internet connection) and I had all my contacts onto my new phone (and on the app). It was easy to do. One problem is the character recognition sometimes incorrectly get a character and I have to manually fix it.

Wouldn’t buy it again
to Fantastic tool but painful to find a group in the group list since you can’t sort the groups alphabetically, I have a long list of groups , I group my contacts by company name ( makes sense ?) , to add a new contact to a group, I have to scroll through the whole list up and down to find that company......painful exercise. Apps.

I got it. I used some of the long holiday time to scan the hundreds of cards I have from all over the world and I am very impressed with the accuracy the App was able to recognize the cards, not 100 % automatic read but close enough. Now I don't have to carry all these cards with me during my worldwide trips and can find any card in seconds. Two requests for improvements. 1) The groups should get arranged alphabetically automatically. 2) the add new group button better be moved to the top of the group list not the bottom so we don't have to scroll all the way down to create a new group, this would save time. Thanks for the great product

Could be better
This app has great features that other apps do not offer. I like being able to search them on LinkedIn, save their photo, and export my contacts into an excel file. However, this app can do better with the address function. If the address isn’t correct, I have to make a new address and delete the original because it will not save my edit, or it will mix the state into the street address. Additionally, once I do get the right address and export to an excel file, the state, street, and zip columns are never accurate in the file. It’s very frustrating. Have you thought about making specific fields when inputting the address on the app instead of one long line? One card will work, while the other card from the same company won’t. I just don’t get it. Also, I can’t download the app on my desktop because it’s a windows, and my phone is an apple product and it shows there’s no device found. In order to get the app on my desktop, I’ll have to pay for the app again..? No. Again, this app has better features than other apps, but I don’t know if it’s worth $35.
