## Description

SamCard is a fast business card scanner for iPhone that auto-extracts key details such as name, job title, company, department, and phone number, then saves them to your iPhone Contacts. It supports multiple languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish) and auto-detects text orientation for both portrait and landscape shots.

Key features include anti-shake photo capture, image preview during editing, auto-rotate, and editable card visualization. For best results, use good lighting, fill the frame, and keep the card parallel to the viewfinder. The Lite version allows saving three cards per week.

## Review summary

Users generally praise the app for quickly scanning business cards and populating contacts, with easy editing before saving and keeping a photo of each card. However, the OCR is often inaccurate, requiring manual corrections, and reliability can be problematic—fuzzy scans after updates, occasional crashes, or even loss of data after reinstall. Some reviews mention a pricey model and trouble canceling. The app is a strong time-saver when it works, but OCR quality and stability are recurring complaints that limit its usefulness for frequent card scanning.

### Pros

- Scans business cards and adds contact details to the phone, saving manual data entry.
- Easy to use and serves as a time-saver for handling many cards.
- Saves a photo of the card and allows edits before saving to contacts.
- Useful for quickly populating and organizing contacts; edits can be made before finalizing.
- Generally works as advertised and is appreciated for quick card capture.

### Cons

- OCR/text extraction is frequently inaccurate, requiring manual corrections.
- Reliability issues: scans can be fuzzy or unreadable after updates, and the app can crash or stop working.
- Paid app with a high price and reports of hard-to-cancel subscriptions.
