Hey Guys! Today I am going to do a, rather short, review on the application ‘My e-Business Card’. This application is made by Yu Yao Network Tech and is 59p ($0.99) in the App Store.
What does this app do?
This app lets you send a Business Card as a picture file, via E-Mail. This application lets you create your business card as well.
When you tap the icon that looks like this:
You will see a screen that looks like this:
This screen is where you put all of the information that you want the Business Card to have. When you have tapped ‘Save Card’ you will see a notification that says ‘Press Power and Home To Capture Screen Touch Screen to Exit Capture’.
So, hang on… this app is basically just a picture? Yeah
But I could do that VERY easily in Fireworks, myself (and probably at a better standard).
Here is what a sample business card looks like (using the application):
The picture at the top of the business card is customisable, but it squashes it – very dramatically!
Have you had any problems with this app?
Sort of, yes. When you are browsing for photos, the top bar is too high, which means that sometimes, it is impossible to say go back from the Camera Roll, to Pictures.
To make this business card look more professional, you would have to import it into a photo editing program on your computer, and crop out the bar at the top of the screen that gives the time, battery life etc.
What do You think of this application?
I think that this application is far too simple, the quality of the business card is poor, you would not want to send this to anyone, if you were a respectable businessman/woman (even if you were a dustbin man, you would be ashamed to email this to anyone). Personally, I think that the feel of a really well made business card is something that cannot be beaten by an e-Business Card.
