The app has less functionality than the last app! In particular, no more syncing of contacts to your iPhone. All you can do is manually add selected contacts to the iPhone. This would be ok if the contacts were flagged to remember which ones were already exported, but this is not the case.
Camera no longer has speed setting, either.
It’s just a step backwards. Not great. I’m not sure what the rationale for emasculating this app was, but I’d like to know.

This app has become indispensable to me. I can’t imagine going to a networking event or business social function without it.

I liked the sort by company feature from the old version. Can we bring that back?
Also it would be nice to manually add contacts sans business card.
