Cardhop Contacts User Reviews

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.

Excellent!

The ability to customise my own layout for facetime buttons vs whatsapp for different contacts is such a convenience!

Thank you for the review, we appreciate it!

Clever Contact Manager

Been using this since launch every single day on all devices.
Keeps all your contacts organised & so simple to use.
The date stamp on your notes is a wonderful feature as well as the auto populate of fields when adding a new contact.
Only thing hugely missing is the ability to move your groups/list (like in all Apple's apps such as reminders)as they are fixed to alphabetical order.
Have reached out to the developer each year
but sadly it is not a priority, maybe 2023

Amazing When You Need It

It looks like just a contact application that helps you get everyone’s names and numbers correct on a daily basis. However, it really shines when you have to input in a lot of business cards and new contacts in following events like conferences. The snap recognition function is good for business cards that are basic and plain but has trouble reading words and numbers from more boujee cards (such as those with gold foil). Also love the family tree and relationships function. I use it all the time to keep up with extended family and also with my big and littles from my fraternity.

Purchased app

Have purchased this app, and now unable to use without premium feature.
What a rip off.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, we do offer a free version of the app for folks that rather not sign up for a subscription. Additionally, if you purchased the App in the past you can definitely use your paid features, without upgrading to a subscription. For help with this please reach out to us at Flexibits.com/contact.

Waste of time

This app takes forever to load and never seems to remember it already imported my contacts. Can’t count the number of times I’ve had to start from scratch while it takes its time re-importing the same contacts. While the graphic interface is great, the user experience is terrible. I’ve tried to make this my main contact app, but it just doesn’t work as well as the free native iOS app…which isn’t perfect, but at least it works as expected. I don’t understand the Editors Choice recommendation for this app. Sadly, it goes to the trash.

Too many prompts for dial a number

It would be great if too many prompts are avoided to make a call. I usually tent to use default app instead of Cardhop because of these prompts. Else a great app.
Also a dialer screen will be excellent

Response from developer

Sorry for the trouble. Unfortunately Apple requires third party apps to use all of those prompts when making a call, so we can't remove them from Cardhop. If you have any questions, please contact us at flexibits.com/contact for more information.

outstanding!

Apple’s software devs should be forced to study Flexbits to understand customer centric innovation. CardHop is brilliant and the integration with Fantastical and the entire Apple ecosystem is best in class. Awesome!

Thanks so much!
