Great, except for a lack of syncing
So far, really like this app. It checks nearly all the boxes for me. It’s beautifully-designed, easy to use, works with multiple other apps, Siri Shortcuts, etc.
But the one thing I can’t get it to do is sync across devices. The changes I made to the app on my iPad don’t appear on my iPhone.
I’m a heavy iPad user, no longer even use my Mac, and I’m a tech writer so live in that world. So I need to be able to have a contacts app that will sync to my phone and iPad.

Contacts app on steroids!!!
A must have app if you use 'contacts' a lot. This app offers the most flexible way of working with your contact-data. Making communication in whatever form a breeze!
It instantly got a prominent spot in my 'quick bar' at the bottom of the screen.
The support team is very responsive and helpful.
A big, thank you, to the team! Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
Can't wait to see what new ideas / features you come up with next. 🙂

Thank you for the kind words :)
Few Suggestions but love it so far
I work in sales so I use my contacts religiously for phone text and email. This app is beautiful designed, but there are two things that I wish would be changed.
The first is the pop up dialog box confirming a call to be made when you tap a number. This might be an iOS limitation since it is not a native app, but just that extra step to make a call adds up throughout the day and subtracts from the overall aesthetic of the app.
Secondly, I wish there was an option for a dial pad. I would like to replace my phone app entirely, and I know I can use this to type out "call xxx-xxx-xxxx" but I think instead of a birthday tab that a dial pad would be more useful.

Thanks for the feedback and review. You're right that Apple require us to display the prompt you mention.
Too pretty but yet not as functional for me
This app is pretty and works really good, but this is not for someone like myself who understands and uses the 3D Touch function heavily on iPhone. The reason I say this, is because while the app provides with different and new ways to work with your contacts, it does not provide with a way to work more efficiently with your contacts than the stock Phone and Contacts app. If you are user of 3D Touch, you will understand that a single tap on your favorite shortcut menu when you 3D touch the phone app will dial the number immediately instead of presenting you with a pop up message to cancel or call the number for that contact like Cardhop does instead. This is just one example. Another example is the fact that in the native Phone app, you are able to save your favorite contacts and assigned a specific action when you tap on a contact. In other words, you can save a contact in your favorites, so that you would just tap on it and make a Whatsapp call, or video call, or FaceTime call audio or video, or just message that contact. There are other functions this app lacks that the iPhone has with its stock Phone and Contacts app provides to save you time. I will be asking for a refund from Apple. This I believe is the first time I will ask for a refund for any app I have ever paid for in my 7 years of being an App Store customer.

Thanks for the feedback here. Regarding favourites, you can swipe the contact name to the right to see four quick actions. Hope to see you back one day!
Good v1.0 app - but needs improvements
Updated
Still going over the features. Love the smart parsing when I enter a new contact. So far no glitches on iPhone 8 running iOS 12.2. App can detect if you have Skype or other apps installed on your IPhone.
I like that you can swipe right on a contact to quickly phone, text, or video-call. Swiping left lets you delete that contact.
Cardhop gives you a lot of options on how you communicate with a contact. This works great as long as there is one main phone number you use.
You can customize presets for that number (for example, make a straight phone call, use Skype, etc).
But if you have multiple numbers (home, work, mobile), it gets awkward. You touch the number you want to call. You are presented with a list of choices (e.g, call, Skype, text, FaceTime, etc). You make your choice, and ANOTHER dialogue box opens asking you to confirm.
If I could customize how I interact with EACH number, instead of only one number, it would be fantastic.
Also, 2 things I’d like to add, based on a quick run through. First, that the app can automatically recognize whether a contact’s mobile phone is an iPhone. This is so video calling automatically launches FaceTime. Right now, you have to choose from a dialog menu. Secondly, that the app can be launched by 3rd party launchers.

I want a refund
Yeah Hi,
This app did not work as per your sales pitch.
Day 2 and it won’t even launch (totally black screen for 5 mins before I killed it).
I request a refund.

Sorry for the trouble here! This sounds unexpected. If you want us to help you fix this please feel free to contact support.
Love it but .....
Brilliant app & puts ‘contacts’ in a whole new workable way. Better synchro between iPad, iPhone, etc would be helpful. Hate having to add, delete, modify more than once.
Response from developer
Thanks for the review :) Sync should be near-instant. Perhaps you can contact support and we'll see if we can fix this for you.
Great app
Worth the price to be able to edit groups on iOS. This is an amazing oversight by Apple in the default app in my opinion.
Beautiful interface, easy to use and works well.
Highly recommended.

Great Potential, working the bugs
Managing contacts, between work and home, has always been a challenge. Cardhop, with its Exchange Service access, and Siri Integration just made my life much easier. The initial release had a challenge with server numbers showing up, but an update has now fixed that. Besides the functionality, the layout is beautiful. If you like Fantastical, you should love Cardhop.

Font size for contact listing too small
Please include adjustable font size for contacts or make a bit bigger and bolder as names look too thready/weedy with this 1st version - otherwise pleased its here on iOS as use MacOS version all the time which is brilliant!
Quick response - don’t really want to bold ‘everything’ - but contact font size improved anyway with last update - brilliant!

Thanks for the review and feedback :) You can try enabling iOS's Bold Text option, but this will apply to all apps.
