Business Card Scanner-SamCard

This app is fantastic! I have been using it for years with great satisfaction. Yes you occasionally have to make corrections but it's usually due to the font or way the actual business card itself is laid out. It is easy to use and an efficient way to get contacts quickly into your outlook!

First of all this is a poor product compared to BCP Pro. It’s unreliable, crashes often, clunky, inaccurate in scanning compared to other products, and frequently looses previously scanned information (just disappears!). Trusting this app for business purposes is extremely risky. Also alarming (and mentioned by another review) is the less than ethical method of easily and accidentally signing up for their overpriced “service”. I’ve been in global IT over 2 decades and have come accords these design practices. It’s very apparent, making accidental purchases is what the developer designed the user interface to do. Apple needs to take these types of design flaws (intentional or not) into consideration when it releases apps as refunds are next to impossible. If you absolutely have to try this product for whatever reason, be very careful navigating the screen or you’ll be stuck with hefty reoccurring bill for this poorly written app. I can’t get my money back, but perhaps I can prevent this from happening to someone else.

AVOID! STAY AWAY! I thought I was just trying out a free app but the typical lawyer-speak fine print included a default opt-in $20/yr -If You Don’t cancel. I clicked too fast -as I’m sure they’re counting on - so now I’m 25 min in to my attempt to cancel the $20 opt in. I abandoned trying the app for this but I’m grateful because I had nothing else to do this morning. After the normal subscription cancelation procedure seemed to go well, I then received an emailed pdf from Apple saying there was a problem. The initial surprise opt-in gave me a week to opt out -which I knew I’d forget. But the new notification said I have until Tomorrow to cancel. How do terms like that arbitrarily change?! Now when I go in to ‘Settings’, ‘iTunes & App Store’, clicked on my Apple ID then ‘Subscriptions’...the one listed for this app doesn’t respond -giving me the choice to cancel/stop. The only options allowed are signing up for the monthly or annual -rather than allowing it to happen automatically after the trial period or tomorrow, I’m no longer sure which since I’ve been told both. Bottom line, this ‘free trial’ has now stollen 30 minutes of my life and I’ve not even been able to cancel it yet. STAY AWAY!

Disappointed. Now I have ads in a paid version of the app. I can't see the difference between the free version and the one I paid for. Original review: 2016 I'm very impressed! It took just a moment to add a card to my contacts - the first time I opened the app. No learning curve. One click save. I'm not a business person. But I end up with a stack of cards. I use cards to enter contacts later for medical, bank, accounts, insurance, shops, restaurants, services - dry cleaners, hair, UPS, etc. Accurate - all of the info on the card, doctor specialist list included, was pulled in. And you control what is filed. Fast camera and processing - I have unsteady hands. I was able to snap an image without having to wait and wait for a clear shot or shoot again like I may do with camera/scan apps. Instant processing. Not wait at all. Thank you for a great app! It's so rare to be able to open and use an app with no effort or thought, plus useful AND accurate.

I've tried a few paid business card scanners and was always disappointed. Tired of paying, I downloaded SamCard (free version) ... and it worked! Most fields it got right on first scan. Some minor corrections, hit 'save' and it was in my contacts. That's what I need. Thanks, Sam.
