Blinq: Digital Business Card

Spent over an hour trying to set up a basic digital business card, which should take 5–10 minutes at most. The app repeatedly failed to save my information and would not upload images (“unknown error” and “failed to upload images”). Restarting the app, switching connections, and even trying the website did not resolve the issue. This feels like a core functionality problem, not user error. Very frustrating experience.

I got introduced to Blinq by a friend of mine at a conference where I hadn't brought nearly enough physical business cards. It was a lifesaver! Super easy to use, smart, and free! It also gives you near limitless ways to share. Usually, I'd consider it a 5 star app, but unfortunately the most recent update broke the widgets! There used to be a 4x2 option that showed a preview of your cards and let you scroll between them, but it's been removed. Bring it back, please!

I love this app. It holds all of my created digital cards in one place. I'm able to email, text, share a link, or scan the QRC code, to pass along my digital card. Physical cards can be purchased. This is good for people with multi-businesses and people who switch up on numbers, logos, etc. You are able to add them or delete and change them in a quick few minutes. This saves money on throwing out business cards with old information. Stores everything you'd want a client/customer to have.

I would like to upgrade to premium. However only going from 2 to 5 cards for the effort is ridiculous. Certainly the technology of today is advanced enough to allow practically unlimited cards with an upgrade. Anyone that works with multiple projects or volunteer organizations could easily use 10+ cards. Until the arbitrarily low limit is removed, I'll stick with the free version. With a little attention to UX design, the app could be great.

I love Blinq! I used haystack and switched to blinq. The free version allows for much more customization. The card looks more professional. I can list my accreditation which I couldn't do with haystack. I'm very impressed so far. And the free version even emails me the contacts info if they choose to fill out there info when they receive my card. Plus the premium version is cheaper than haystack! Go Blinq!!!
