Best in class, but subscription based
This is one of those apps which is so solid, useful and feature-rich that it should absolutely be part of the system. By far the most useful contact manager I have used on iOS. More functional than built-in Contacts by an order of magnitude.
It’s unfortunate that a few occasional-use handy features are locked behind a recurring subscription. Not clear what ongoing service the subscription pays for apart from unlocking on-device features.
But even the non-subscription portion of the app is always my go-to for any contacts-related tasks. It’s great.

Thanks for the review and feedback.
Simple and needs some upgrades
I only use this because I pay for the fantastical subscription so this is integrated/comes with it.
I’d like to see a function where it’ll remind you to follow up with an individual (with the ability to “snooze”) or at least have it integrated with ToDoist like fantastical. Outside of the card scanner and a few interesting functions it’s the same as the contacts app in my phone. Lots of other apps have better functions, and better ways to personalize the e-card which I expect will come in future updates.
There are better apps that I’ve used, I just don’t want to pay for the scanner features. I see lots of potential as I love my fantastical subscription.

Thank you for your feedback here! We did add Fantastical actions to Cardhop that let you create an event/task for a specific contact card. If you would like to learn more about this you can reach out to our team at flexibits.com/contact and they will be happy to help.
Great contact organization app. Horrible card scanner.
This app is wonderful in integrating with Apple Contacts and making easy what Apple Contacts lacks—creating default contact entry templates, recoding a universal list of recent interactions, adding date and time stamps to notes, among others. And all this syncs seamlessly with Apple Contacts. The business card scanner is worthless, however, and not even worth trying. Out of about 10 attempts, only one card scan got basic information correct. In considering this, therefore, you also need to consider getting a separate business card scanner. Just watch out for very good scanner apps that have very poor privacy policies. Usually, the very best ones seriously compromise your privacy.
