![]() I started using CardMunch because it was better and then when they decided to close and start passing data through to you I started to use the Hello app. Wait, I had downloaded and tried Hello last year, I was not a fan and stopped using it. Anything they did in those two years will remain in tact no matter what. Once the offer to CardMunch users expires (two years after the accept the offer), they'd need Evernote Premium to continue unlimited business card scanning. No matter what though, NO, your data will NEVER be deleted and you will never lose access to that data. The offer of two years of card scanning was specifically for those transitioning from the now defunct CardMunch to Evernote. What happens at the end of the year? Is there a charge, do the cards get deleted.what? Thanks, EileenT The concern, your comment that by adding the cards this should give you a years worth of scanning.

This is not wrong, just unexpected from our end. However, there are some users that have the mindset of creating a note first, then launching the camera instead of just launching the camera directly from the home screen. The user can then type up their meeting notes and Related Notes will show everything together, especially on the desktop. Originally when you create a note, then start the camera from that note, we assume you want the meeting scenario, so we save the business cards separately and insert references to those cards (the name and email address) in the note so that our Related Notes algorithms will show you everything together on the platforms that support Related Notes. From what we've learned with Evernote Hello, in a meeting situation, people want to capture information about the meeting including all business cards of the people that they met in a single note as well. Most users primarily treat cards as separate notes so we always save each card as a stand alone note. If so, this is the thought process behind this. Return to the note - the note now has the name and email from the card.Please confirm if this is what you are doing: You seem to be hitting a problematic use case that we have a fix for in the next release. I'm not seeing where I save this to my iPhone's contacts and it doesn't seem to be doing it automatically.When I scan a card, in addition to the card entry itself where it self populates the info in an address book format, I'm getting a second entry titled "Note" in Evernote with just the name and email address.Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm seeing a couple of strange things: I'm excited to have this new feature integrated into Evernote!
