I like that I can create a digital business card as needed. I now have several digital business cards through HiHello that I can use for the nuanced businesses that I operate. That also means I don’t have to put myself in a box with one business card or spend time, energy, and money ordering business cards only to find out they’re outdated six months later. I have a graveyard of hardcopy business cards. A digital business card feels so contemporary. It makes it easy to pass on my contact - the right contact info for the individual entrepreneurial prospect, or corporate business CEO, or a contact for my hobby jewelry business, or a prospective date. Not every card applies to every circumstance or person. For that reason, I have found HiHello to be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I’m not sure whether HiHello has a reminder feature to prompt users to follow up with contacts, or whether digital business cards just end up lost in digital clutter. That’s about all I can say about the downsides. It might be nice to have more design options down the road, but they’re not necessary right now. The app is simple and easy to use, with little learning required, so I don’t see many drawbacks. Still, the design features may feel a little outdated. It would also be nice to have a feature that helps convert contacts. I think the name HiHello is a little cheesy, too.
I met someone at a bar who said, "Oh yeah, I have that, but I don’t use it," which makes me wonder if something is missing that helps people remember they have the app. The other day, I was in a meeting when someone asked if I had a business card. It was for an area of my work that I don’t necessarily talk about, even though I have a lot of experience in it. I said, "Hold on a minute," went out to my car, and created a digital business card. When I came back, I said, "Oh, I forgot I have my business cards on my phone now that I’ve migrated to a digital business card." I was able to tap their phone and share the QR code. It was interesting to realize that I forget I have this feature, even though it’s so useful. We need little reminders or notifications that pop up on our screens—maybe even an SMS feature—to say, “hey, pay attention to this new contact.”
I also have two phone numbers: one for business and one for personal use. I noticed there was an option labeled “SMS only,” meaning text messages instead of phone calls. I think there should be a toggle to choose SMS only for the personal number and calls or texts for the business number, for example. Those are my thoughts. No complaints about the card. ( but this form, this survey form—really bad. Not designed for mobile use which is ironic.) . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
