Haystack Business Cards App Reviews

I absolutely love this app. I have used it at several networking events and it allows me to share my information quickly without having to carry around a stack of business cards. I dont have any issues with the reader. I can save all my business cards quickly and it picks up the information on each card very well. I would recommend this app to other entrepreneurs!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I stumbled upon this app looking for a business card scanner to present to a group of social media experts. Haystack fits the bill! It is clean, easy to use, and very sleek. Im already a believer and only had it for 30 minutes. My only complaint so far is that all phone numbers import as cell phones, most of my contacts only list work lines- so changing that is a little cumbersome.

Trying to create your card on here is incredibly frustrating. I understand that this isnt a business card creator, but for the life of me I could not get my company logo to look remotely decent on a digital card - and I am a graphic designer with 15 years of experience. I played around with image sizes and resolutions until I finally just gave up. Haystack doesnt offer any image sizing guides, plus its "automatic branding" feature is a total joke that doesnt work at all. My logos are all over my website and it was trying to pull random images from sites with URLs that werent even close to mine. Completely useless...whats the point of having a digital card if it just makes you look bad?

Best business card reader in the app store. Should be more popular. Works very well. No problems for me.

Ive been using this app little over six months and since then saving and organizing a business card as well as managing contacts has been very easy. You can see the contact not only on the phone but as well as online on computer. Text recognition has always worked accurately for me unless the font on the card is something unsuitable but you still get an option to re-edit before saving a card. Overall this is a great app.

It does what it needs to do. You scan the card and it would save all the contacts information. Never loose a lead.

I really miss the old CardMunch app before LinkedIn ruined it. I tried Haystack and do not recommend it. It doesnt read cards well and if you make the mistake of giving it access to your contacts, you WILL regret it. It injects mistakes into peoples titles and addresses that werent there before (for example, "1234 Pine Tree Dr, Suite B, Anytown, PA 23456 USA", with everything in its proper field, becomes "SuiteBn1234PineTreeDrAnytownPA23456USA" all on the first address field all running together. Also it links to the contacts (supposedly to keep them updated should that person change jobs) and you have to manually unlink them in order to make changes. And in some cases, I have been unable to delete contacts or save my manual changes. Finally, it appears to be the cause of a crazy problem with voice commands. I work for a large firm and have dozens of people from the same company in my address book. Since I made the mistake of installing this app, I can no longer trust Siri to text the right people by my voice command. For example, if Im driving and I say "text John Smith" (who is my office manager and someone I text daily), now Siri sends a text to another random person in the same company. This has happened multiple times, the people texted have names that are in no way similar to "John Smith", nor did they have any relation in my address book other than the same company name and main office number (which is a land line, and it is trying to text the wrong persons mobile). This is the only app Ive given access to my address book in years, and this problem started after that. So it is not definitive proof, but it sure looks like it is the cause. And of course, uninstalling it doesnt undo the damage to your Apple address book. So, while I would love an app that worked well with business cards and helped me keep my contacts up to date, THIS AINT IT.

Disabling "automatic emails" is a complete dark pattern and very spammy. This will generate garbage emails to your professional network. Deleted.

This app is great, it takes business cards to the next level by making them digital, easy to share and most importantly they look good. The app identifies your companies logo based on your email address and so your business card has appropriate branding. Its pretty hard to find a company logo they dont have. The ease of sharing contacts makes paper cards a thing of the past, but if you are given one just use the scan function and make it digital in seconds. I have used some other similar apps and this is hands down the market leader!!

Rather use paper.

This app is perfect for the tech savy that want to keep their professional networking well organized. It doubles as a conversation starter too!

Its not clear if my business contacts are visible to Haystack.

I have loved using Haystack. It is designed to easily transition you from paper to digital business cards and create a smooth process as you build your network. I cant wait to build my contacts on the app, it is just great! You have to download it.

Its not just neat to have a digital alternative to paper business cards. Haystack takes care of the process of sharing and storing the data automatically in a useful form. Im stoked to use Haystack in place of my paper cards!

A lot of the marketing for this app (i.e. "Your new business card" and "Make your new card in 30 seconds") implies you could generate a file for printing real business cards from the app. Its a little misleading.

I love love love this app. I love the fact that this app eliminated all the stack of business cards from my wallet. It reads the details of the card and makes them functional for calling, emailing and browsing all from the same app. It even automatically recognizes logos. Best app of the year hands down and its free.

We all love Haystack at our office. Not only is it very convenient, the customer service is top notch. This is the way of the future for business cards and I personally couldnt do without it. I love the new email signature business card feature and they are always adding new features. You can create your own personalized business card plus you can scan other hard-copy business cards into the App so no more piles of business cards that are hard to find, I can just search the name and find it instantly. Great job Haystack, I would recommend you anytime. Rikki RepuTect Software

Love the app, very practical, efficient, and forward looking -- a next-gen. product... ;)

Pros: free, coordinates reasonably well with contacts/phone/LinkedIn Cons: no auto detection of card/manual card capture only, requirement of email address to confirm most contacts (if not present on card, then you are stuck not being able to save card), no back/exit button once card is saved/scanned

I went through various business card apps and this one is the best by far. It contains the most relevant information, it creates the most attractive business cards, and it is very easy to send information to others. Thanks!
