Love this app, a bit clunky with the camere on my phone whitch can't focus, but the results are still great. But for some reason it's not compatible with my htc explorer after I reseted the system settings, even though I used it before the reset

Bizness More a toy.. Scan half my house.. Pretty cool... For business cards there's free apps that do great. Got cardpro. Think that's it. I got it on amazon

A toy? I downloaded this specifically for scanning and loading contact info from the hundreds of business cards I have into my contacts. Of the 5 I tried, only one was screened as being a contact, however I still had to manually input half the info such as email and web site. I don't really care, nor know why I would care about the bar codes and such...maybe some day it will make sense. I just can't say this purpose is working for me.

A neat experiment But in reality it sucks camel stones, how come it won't translate when I need translations? How come it does google searches that are completely unrelated all the damn time?
