Yes — CardDrop scans business cards without any app. It works through your phone's regular Messages app. Text a photo of a business card to (209) 299-0966 and the contact is saved instantly.
Most business card scanners require you to download an app, create an account, grant camera permissions, and learn a new interface. CardDrop skips all of that. If you can text a photo, you can use CardDrop. There's nothing to install, nothing to update, and nothing to learn.
Any phone that can send an MMS text message — iPhone, Android, or anything else. There's no operating system requirement because CardDrop runs on the server side, not on your phone.
