Write personal notes for yourself about the contacts you meet

You know how we used to write personal notes for ourselves on the back of people's paper business cards? Well, personal note is a space on each digital card you scan, where you can write anything about the people you meet, making it easier to remember where and when you met them. 

To add a personal note:

  1. Tap on the card you want to add a note to

  2. Scroll down to the 'Personal note' section and type a note

But 'Personal note' is a lot smarter than the back of the paper card. Not only can you write your notes there, but also:

  • Add hash tags (eg. #business, #supplier, etc.) so you can search for these tags later

  • Anything you write in your notes is 'searchable' via the app's search function - so the notes can also make it easy to find an old card you've scanned

Note: Personal notes are stored on your phone and do not get shared to anyone else. If you want to write and share a personalized message that gets sent with your card, you can customize the 'Exchange Message' for your card.
