    Used briefly but had definite potential!

    Date: Apr 28 2020

    Summary: Used this for a few months. Loved the idea of being able to keep a database of business cards digitally and there are lots of other apps that do this but none that I could find for the price and functionality of Office Lens. Only downside was that it only integrated with MS Notes and I really don't use that for anything else so eventually I just stopped using it.

    Positive: Great tools for taking photos and utilizing the content from the pictures. Neat tool for snapping a picture of a business card and sending the applicable information automatically to a list of contacts.

    Negative: Could only integrate with Microsoft Notes for sending business card data.
