WorldCard Mobile for Negative User Reviews

Garbage garbage carefulThese /$:$;@/-" updated a version which deleted all yes all as in every single card. I had an old backup on Dropbox. As if not enough garbage, in a bonehead move they removed Dropbox from a sync option. No help at all from that useless company other than "thank you again for your support and understanding" what load of /$:@;"/"; stay away use anything else.Version: 6.0.1

Was able to sync with iPad not any more.Previous I was able to sync with my iPad. Need to come up with work around or fix..Version: 7.3.1

No outlook sync??I had a similar thing happened to what the other reviewer said. I thought that world card once I paid for the professional version would sync to my Outlook. I haven’t used it in a while I’ve recently spent literally an hour trying to add a couple business cards and see if they’re synchronizing to Outlook. This is crap. I’d like my money back but I’m sure that’s not gonna happen and it’s going to take way too long to try to even deal with it. I have tried multiple settings and cannot get it to sync it does show up on my iPhone in the contacts but I need it to go to my laptop. I don’t even see where it came in the Gmail..Version: 7.4.3

WorldCard MobileI've had my iPhone 3G model for 9 months and it wasn't until I bought the app, found it didn't work and then went to the WorldCard web site and saw the following - Note: ‧ Works primarily on the iPhone 3GS ‧ If you use iPhone 2G or 3G iPhone, you MUST have additional gadgets to improve photo quality, such as Griffin Clarifi. ‧ For iPod Touch, the only way to scan cards in from SAVED photos due to the lack of a built-in camera. ‧ WorldCard Mobile also has Chinese version, Japanese version and Korean version. You can choose either version you need. The supported handset of Chinese/Japanese/Korean version is only iPhone 3GS. Just not good enough all around. Ok, I should have checked beforehand, but this is the real world and I'm busy; so I read the revue in Macworld, swallowed the marketing in iTunes Store, paid my money and it doesn't work. Enough time spent on this; buyers beware!!.Version: 0

What happenedThis used to be so useful. Has serious issues. You select an option and are left with a screen that doesn't let you enter any info or make any selection or even exit. Twice i had to lose my work and start over..Version: 7.4.6

Great Platform - Needs work for 3GOK. I do a lot of business and was looking for something just like this app. I have the 3G and so I did need to go and buy the Griffin Clarifi case (around 30 bucks). Also have WorldCard Contacts. I wish the OCR was a little more fine tuned. Seems to have trouble with O's - makes them Q's, and 't', 'd' and 'f' gives it trouble too. It seems to have a hard time picking up characters in color or also on cards with color backgrounds. The address loads into the contact base as one string with street, city, st and zip on one line, rather than the specific fields themselves. I take pictures in bright daylight, afternoon or evening pics at the office desk don't come out too well, and yes I clean both lenses. I spend a lot of time correcting information, but I do get it into my phone which is the goal. I will say that on the cards that it all comes together and works on - It Rocks! Contacts works nicely and having the picture of the business card is pretty sweet. Just wish you could tweek the OCR for 3G already using the Griffin Clarifi. My volume of entry is around 8-10 cards daily. Great start just needs a few improvements..Version: 0

CommentDownloaded iOS 7 and app doesn't work anymore!.Version: 6.0.5

DO NOT PAY OR DOWNLOAD THIS APPYou need to seriously read thir privacy policy because this app will allow them to gather A LOT of private information from your device. I am disgusted with this practice!! DELETE!!!!!.Version: 7.3.1

Not working well, reqs. too much editingI promise I'll update this if the app improves functionality and OCR tech but for now it's just not meeting expectations nor the $5.99 price tag. I love the idea of this app, if it worked well it would make my life so much easier. That said, I've tried about 10 cards and every single one of them has needed at least a little editing after the recognition process, some have needed a lot. I might as well just type everything into Contacts than spend the time finding a well lit spot, taking a half-decent picture of the card and then waiting for the recognition to do its thing before editing the whole contact page. Further guidance on how to take accurate recognition photos would be helpful, because it's just not working well enough now with the guidance they provide. Perhaps it's because so many business cards these days have varied color text and backgrounds with intersecting logos that confuses the recognition software, but until the software catches up, just 2 stars for me..Version: 0

Upgrade to google+?Tried the app after a couple years from last time. Tried to synch with google contacts. It asked me to upgrade to google+ and redirected me to a google page in Chinese. Must be a scam.Version: 7.3.5

Doesn’t seem to work with iOS 11This is been my go to card scanning app, but it doesn’t seem to work with the update to the latest software. I can scan the cards but they don’t get saved..Version: 7.3.1

Save to contact option downThe save to contact option is grayed and it cannot be turned on. Could you please help?.Version: 7.5.3

Settings need an updateCurrently all addresses entered default to USA as country. If that's good for you, then buy. If you live in another part of the world it's troublesome and annoying to fix something every time you enter a card that should be picked up from the Settings tab (but is not even an option). Other than that problem (which adds ~15 seconds to adding every new contact), it's quite good..Version: 0

No better than the free ones on offerI have used 2 free ones and got tired of the limit per day that I could use given the number of cards I receive regularly. I bought this app on the reviews and its speel and am wishing I had kept my $7.50 and just persisted with the free app I had. I am having to over type almost everything even though the scanned image that displays after I have taken the pic is crystal clear and the details that display when I am correcting are clear as well. Everytime I try to Select a "Wordcard contact" the app closes on me loosing all of the data I have just corrected and not saving the contact. Very frustrating and annoying, save your money, dont make my mistake.Version: 5.1.2

Solid App. Could use some tweakingI tried this app on 12 different business cards. 7 worked perfectly. It seemed that the cards it had the most problems with are those which have raised lettering. On flat cards it worked perfectly. The feature that I like the most is the email signature import feature. Simply copy someone email signature, open WorldCard Mobile, click the Signature icon, paste and export. It's nice not to have to manually input someone's information. Overall, good app. I think $5.99 is a bit pricey however..Version: 0

Deleted — AgainI had used World Card for several years. It isn't 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. When this was fixed and I noted that it now worked with iOS 11, I decided to give it another try. I just spent 30 min trying to scan 2 cards. The first wouldn’t auto crop. Finally it did. The second I never could get it to recognize, probably because the text is written in the opposite direction as usual. After being fooled twice, I am going to buy another app..Version: 7.3.5

DisappointingThe first two cards I used did not turn out. Crystal clear photos were taken but to no avail. Every field needed to be edited because of gibberish symbols throughout. Doesn't distinguish fields properly, and jams the whole name (and subsequent credentials - B.A., M.D. etc) into the first name field. Pretty bad..Version: 0

No after sales supportBought the business card scanner and the app at the same time. After exactly one week and year after scanning a few hundred cards. The scanner stopped working - told to go away as it is out of guarantee. £110 down the drain! Don’t recommend!.Version: 7.5.3

Unreliable-Do not recommendUnreliable. Would not recommend using. Notes do not transfer over consistently to iPhone contacts. As notes are used for search capabilities, it makes this application useless..Version: 7.4.6

App No Longer WorksThis app used to be 5 out of 5, but after I updated to IOS 8 the app no longer functions properly. It freezes in Edit mode now after using the camera to take a picture of the business card. I assume it’s because their are some bugs to iron out so it works properly with IOS 8. Hopefully Penpower fixes it quickly..Version: 6.4.0

Gets some things right... Most things wrong.I received a business card scanner as a gift this Christmas. I wanted to save money for the gift giver so I shared with them the myriad of business card reader apps available at the app store for a fraction of the price. Based on the reviews of these applications, they did not come without problems. I ended up settling on WorldCard Mobile because it was 95% less money than the physical scanner, and had the fewest negative reviews associated with it. I tested 3 business cards with the app. All three had major errors that took extensive editing time to correct. In my experience, the software was only accurate with phone numbers, but almost useless with company names, employee names, physical and email addresses. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the time needed to line up the camera and take a useable photo of the card. I would have been better off entering the data manually. I ended up having the physical card scanner returned. I wish I could have done the same thing with the app..Version: 0

Rubbish appDon’t purchase this app. I did and now the app will not sync with the outlook or my phone contacts. Lost 5 years of my business cards. Total waste of time. Don’t download this app.Version: 7.4.7

Save button missing in ios11. Now useless.Need to update!!.Version: 7.3.1

Should never have bought itWho would have thought that a card reader app would not sync with Outlook!!!!.Version: 3.1.4

TerribleI had World Card for years. Now they blocked my old app so I purchased the new one. It will not take my old contacts into new app. Useless.Version: 7.4.5

Doesn’t work with iOS 11Been using it for years. Stopped working when I upgraded to iOS 11 today..Version: 7.3.1

Doesn't work worth a darnI've tried this program on a good two dozen cards. The recognition works on most items on a business card, but a fair bit of editing is required on EVERY card. This wouldn't be so bad, except the editing interface is so cumbersome that, in the end, it's easier to just enter the information from scratch. Phone numbers are a particular problem. Many cards like to do "funky" things to differentiate phone numbers--separating them with dots, periods, or underscores instead of dashes. Unfortunately, it's not easy to re-edit the numbers into a standard format... requiring me to then go into my contact database to edit them by hand. It's a cool idea, and if they can get it right on at least a quarter of the cards I get--even well-formatted, perfectly plain cards--then I would use and recommend this app in a heartbeat. As is, save your money, since there are no refunds..Version: 0

Waste of money for ipod touchDoes not work for touch gen 4 so do not waste your money. Maybe the camera on the touch is the issue as I read good reviews for the iphone... cannot scan a single card absolutely useless!.Version: 0

Horrible updateI used to use this app all the time and was extremely pleased with its functionality. It looks like they’ve not only taken away that free functionality, but the registration process is convoluted and dysfunctional. Very unhappy..Version: 7.4.5

Not 100% accurate but very effectiveThis app keeps me on top of my pile of business cards because it scans a card in the time it takes me to be connected while on a phone call. Then it takes me under a minute after the call to check and correct the results, and throw away the card. To get rid of card clutter and to have the address book complete is well worth the money..Version: 3.6.5

Don't take this update!!!!I used WorldCard for many years but this update blew away all my contacts..Version: 7.3.3

OK - but desperately needs improvementsThe basic functionality "take a photo of the business card and OCR it" is OK. Text recognition in a specific language is good but not top of the notch (it doesn't get obvious misses in text recognition. But I'm really missing better database functionality: once the number of cards grow, you need more than just alphabetical sorting. Typical use case: there's a big conference and at the end you collected 50 biz-cards. They all should be auto-tagged and later I should be able to view my database by "date-scanned" or by tag. Our brain works best that way, that we remember when/where we met people - but forgot their names… I bought the app about 2 years ago and aside of minor bug fixes unfortunately no significant update! Instead the developer floods the iTunes store with 10 or more apps - I don't have the time to compare and figure out if probably one of them is an additional value. It's just too confusing…like often: developer starts with a good basic idea but then gets caught in things he's not good.. Last point: it's not really intuitive: many options are not clear whether they are already activated - or when you push the button will then activate it. leads to false trials and wasted time or double scans….Version: 6.0.1

Great, but with problemsI loved this app...but... The app has great features. It's quick and easy to find the contacts I want. It's easy to import new contacts from business cards and is fairly accurate (requires very minimal manual corrections). I like being able to see the photo of the business card; it makes it easier to jog my memory as to who the person is. My biggest gripe is that every time there has been an update, I completely lose all my business cards. Fortunately, I selected the option to merge all business cards with my iPhone contacts, so I can access them from the phone's contacts list. However, when I go into the world and app, all the contacts are gone. Every time I have had to rescan all my business cards. Then it adds a duplicate contact with my phone's contact list and I have to go back and merge them together...one by one...long and tedious..Version: 6.3.0

This used to be a great app not anymoreIt’s a shame this used to be a really good job. This app used to be great!.Version: 7.4.9

Oh dear...I've only used this a handful of times, but so far it has a 0% success rate. It doesn't just put the wrong information in the fields (which would be understandable), but simply makes it up. Often none of the characters it identifies are anywhere on the card in question. I work internationally and the commonest mistake is for the program to read (0) (which is present in most international phone numbers) as Q. It then goes on to read vertically (!) and so populates a random field with QQQQ (if there are 4 phone numbers on the card). It's much cheaper than buying a business card reader for a PC, but not as cheap as not bothering..Version: 0

Extras req'dYou need a gmail acct and world card software to sync contacts over other platforms. Not sure why it doesn't just link up with iPhone contacts..Version: 6.5.1
