Pocket vCard iPhone App Video Review
Keeping in touch with people is easier than ever thanks to social media, but sometimes you need to be able to share more than your Twitter handle with others. That’s where a comprehensive app like Pocket vCard comes into play.
Pocket vCard is a free app by Brijesh Kothari that makes it very easy to build a detailed contact profile and share it with others who are using the app.
One of the challenges we face with the global pandemic is working remotely, so being able to share contact information safely and easily is crucial. Setting up Pocket vCard requires you to provide a valid phone number. Once you’ve validated it, you can build your profile.
Pocket vCard is very easy to navigate, which is definitely ideal when it comes to sharing information quickly. After all, the last thing you want to do is mess with clunky menus while someone is waiting for your information.
While I found it easy to change and update my profile, the one thing I discovered is I couldn’t change my primary phone number. It’s possible that I’m overlooking an additional setting somewhere in Pocket vCard, but being able to update phone information is vital for a contact app.
Pocket vCard really shines when it comes to extra features. For example, if you change any information in your profile, the app will notify contacts you’ve connected with to let them know you’ve updated something. You can choose who receives these update notifications, as well.
Being able to scan a QR code is another neat feature of Pocket vCard, but the catch is you can only scan the code using the Pocket vCard app. The same is true if you share your profile link - it can only be opened in the app. The good news is that Pocket vCard is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
Lastly, Pocket vCard supports 16 languages. This makes it perfectly suited for the global stage.
Pocket vCard is available to download from the App Store for free and there’s a subscription option if you exceed the limited number of scans and shares. You can pay $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year to unlock unlimited sharing.
Overall, Pocket vCard is a helpful contact sharing app that’s off to a great start. However, its functionality is largely based on everyone using it
