WorldCard Mobile App Reviews

Have been using this app for years. I found it to be the best in its category as it has improved over time. Does a fairly good job of OCR except for badly designed business cards (people think about this!). Suggestions: (1) please have app recognize card edges. It still cant handle oversize European cards or those weird skinny cards you sometimes get, even when photographed on a contrasting background. (2) Please please make the Countries list in alphabetical order without categories. This takes too long. First I have to think: in what continent is this country, then what sub-category, east, west, nope, then what continent does Worldcard think its in, then scroll and pass it a few times (kind of in a hurry, maybe ADHD), ah, yes, Turkey in Western Asia. Would be much better.

Picked this up and used it for a while. Small issues came up after an update, doesn’t really work now - zero instructions & support.

I have used World Card for several years. It isnt perfect, but it has been a quick way to get business cards into my iPhone contacts, which in turn synchronize with Outlook. I was reasonably pleased with the way it worked. In the latest update, I was asked for permission to sync my Gmail contacts which I did not wish to do. It gave me no choice in the matter. As a result, I deleted the app from my phone because I have no interest in allowing it undefined access to other applications. Because the app gave me no choice, and I had no idea what it would do with data from my Gmail contacts, I considered the security risk unacceptable.

This used to be a good app. It was reasonably quick and easy to use. Unfortunately the latest update has ruined it. From the constant “tips” which there is no obvious way to switch off, the lack of instructions and the much worse OCR, this app is now next to useless. Shame.
