CardSharing is the undoubtedly 21st century way of swapping contact information. Replacing the notion of having old-school cardboard business cards, the app instead allows you to create your own card in-app and then share it in different ways. Perhaps the coolest is the way it can create a quick QR code that your contact can barcode-scan for immediate information download. Very cool.
Price: Free
Tested on: HTC Desire HD
The CardSharing app is step forward for both these kinds of exchanges. Simply create a couple of profiles; one for business, one for personal. Then when someone asks you for your details you have a few simple options; either email, create a shareable vCard or create a cool QR code for your associate to scan directly onto their phone. It’s a cool, modern way of sharing contact information. It also negates a host of issues sharing such information in the old-fashioned way; business cards get lost or forgotten about, those scribbled phone numbers get wet or lost or become indiscernible due to horrific handwriting, and so on.
With the rise (and rise) of social networking, it was a shame you couldn’t include your own social networking details when it comes to CardSharing app. You can include your own website, but more dedicated social networking possibilities would be far better. You could add your Facebook to perhaps your more personal friends, while perhaps your LinkedIn to your professional contacts. CardSharing is quite a new app, so there’s room to perhaps develop this.

AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:
Pros & Cons:
Pros- Very easy to set up!
- Simple to share!
- Good UI!
- Information updates automatically among fellow CardSharing users!
- Could perhaps do with options that let you add/share social network details.
- Email address entry is inexplicably managed by auto-correct.
Features:
CardSharing is one of those staple activities that flourish at any trade conference or business meeting. Visit such conferences and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask ‘Do you have a card?’ Such exchanges seem to be essential to networking. Alongside this you often meet people in your personal life who you want to share details with, whether it be a phone number or an email address and whether this is done via a scribbled note (the note that always gets inexplicably ‘lost’ in most rom-com movies!) or some other boring way such details are exchanged on a regular basis.The CardSharing app is step forward for both these kinds of exchanges.
