Another App Idea

Genius Scan - when you read through the blurb that comes with this app it is more about the fact that you can scan for example a receipt for the accounts department and not worry about keeping the original receipt. Why don't you just use the camera feature on the iPhone??




The other example was taking a "Genius Scan" of a whiteboard covered in notes - hmmm.... I do that already using the camera app that comes on the phone by default.


So what benefits does Genius scan offer? Why download another app when you can be using the camera feature?

What I thought was quite ingenious regarding this app was a specific idea: instead of carrying around a stack of business cards (which you wouldn't do as you would have them in your "contacts") you GENIUS SCAN the business cards!

At the time I heard someone tweeting this idea I thought "hey, that is cool" but considering it now I'm thinking this idea is a bit redundant, hello; put the details from the business cards into the contacts! Better still use your Address Book on your computer so your can use the computer keyboard to quickly enter the details instead of mucking around with the touch screen keyboard on your iPhone.

Genius Scan is a FREE app! So I have downloaded it and will play with it and see what the pros and cons are.

I think until you have used a app for a few weeks it's a bit tricky to really know if it will be in your top 25 apps. Something tells me this is not but I'll test it out and report back.
