SUMMARY: Store business card info on you phone

For anyone who is in the corporate world, you know that there is a constant flow of business card flying at you from every direction and the large challenge is how to keep them all organized. Traditionally, people have used a rolodex but with today\'s technology, making them digital is the best way to go. Business Card Reader is an app that will take a picture of a business card and automatically input the information from the card in an organized format.

The benefits of having an app like this are great as you can now have all your business card in an easy to read format. The app also can take that information and do a linkedin search for the person. As for performance, the creators recommend using a third party addon for any iPhone except the 3GS. Without the 3GS\'s autofocus feature, most iPhones will struggle with reading the information and mine did too. So really, I can only recommend this app to users with a 3GS phone.

In concept, this app is amazing but I have seen too many issues using it on my phone to justify grabbing it. If you have a 3GS and do actually have the problem of organizing an ever-growing collection of business cards, check this app out. It may just save you from insanity.
